This Is Not for Everyone

  I am not here seeking admiration or devotion. I am here to be — and to show others that this way of being is not scary. I write because it is my salvation from messy thoughts and overwhelming days. Writing puts my mind in order. It gives me space for self-love and for catching my breath. I cannot be here all the time. Actually, I probably could — but I do not want to. I do not want to pay the price of viral fame. I do not want to lose myself in the illusion of the world around me. I do not want to forget where it all started or lose the ground under my feet. Being able to disappear is a necessity for me. It allows me to rest, to recharge, and to stay focused and calm. I disappear from the noise. From expectations. From the pressure that tells you that if you do not constantly do more, you will lose track or fail. When I come back, I see the world more clearly. Without pink glasses.

Sunday with my bees

 

honey,bees,flowers

I do not think I have shared this, but my partner and I have 153 beehives, which all started a few years ago with only 10 of them. Actually, something happened this past winter and unfortunately only 28 active hives were left this Spring. We were quite surprised because we expect some losses after every winter, however, it is usually around 10-15%, but this year was unbelievable. Now, we have managed to make them around 40 hives. We decided to change the breed with one, for which they say, is very calm.

I have to admit, I was scared to be around them even with the special outfit. With the years, around four now, I learned to work with them and now I love it. The sound they make is very calming for me, it makes me forget about everything and I just focus on taking care of them. Yesterday was the first time I’ve been bitten! Almost no reaction on my skin, which is great! Moreover, thankfully I do not have an allergy. My partner and I spent six hours with them yesterday and I felt amazing. I was so tired at the end of the day but I was so ready to see my boy, who was with his grandparents so we quickly took a shower and went to get him.

I think bees are very interesting creatures; the way they take care of their beehive and build their honeycomb is amazing. We are very lucky with the place we put them because they are next to Danube river and a small acacia forest, also there are a lot of different fruit trees and flowers.

It is a very challenging and hard to take care of bees, but I remind myself it is a good thing to do for the planet, so it helps my motivation.
