History about Leigh, she is an actress

A beautiful woman lives with your boyfriend in an apartment near her office and she does sports every morning before she goes to work. After that she makes breakfast with some butter, a piece of bread, some fruits and a cup of <s>cafe</s> coffee. Her name is Leigh. Today she has a day off and she <s>will</s> plans to <s>that she</s> buy a ticket to London. Her profession is <s>actress</s> acting. In the afternoon she is going to the Airport <s>and</s> to buy <s>for</s> a direct <s>fly</s> flight to London. She asks for an one way ticket because she doesn't know when she will come<s>s</s> back. She is wearing a black jupe (skirt??) and shoes with a blue T-Shirt. Her hair<s>e are</s> is long and brown. She is very busy in her business but she has a boyfriend that she loves and he <s>makes surprise</s> surprises her when <s>she</s> he comes back <s>at</s> home with a cake and <s>cafe</s> coffee because <s>she has</s> it is her birthday.

Fall in Saint-Petersburg

It's hard to write something essential and interesting when you just follow your desire to be consistent. I<s>'m</s> used to write a couple of notebook entries daily, but (now?) sometimes my head is empty and my work completely absorbs me (not sure I can use it in this context). (this expression sounds good and natural)

Meanwhile, fall has come, political news <s>have</s> has become worse and I feel sick and depressed. I'd love to be by the sea side - of course not by the Baltic sea, but by the warm one. When you live in Saint-Petersburg for a long time you understand that <s>is</s> it was built for reach people who could afford to spend half a year somewhere in the city of Nice (I have not heard/am unfamiliar with the expression "city of nice") and didn't care about the local climate. Also I believe that earlier winters were much more frosty and snowy, although definitely the Baltic Gulf made the climate humid even then.

So, it's not very pleasant to stay here during the fall and winter seasons. However, we live here. At least it's worth mentioning, that this city is the most beautiful city in the world, and fall just makes it obvious. Come, see its parks and channels right now! You'll probably agree with me.

The Freedom

Yes, it’s only about 9 pm but already I feel sleepy and may just fall asleep <s>anytime soon</s> at any moment. This kind of freedom so easily found in my life isn’t equally enjoyed by many of my colleagues with kids who would also love to be able do so. For them, living with a lack of sleep is “the norm” <s>of life</s>. <em>Me, on the contrary,</em> (this is clear but awkward) although I do have to deal with my loneliness problem when staying at home alone, which isn’t actually too much a problem for me, and the problem of maybe being alone when I’m old, I have always had this freedom to sleep whenever I want after work. If you <s>know</s> knew me more, you would know that I like to sleep a lot. To live in a constant state of inadequate sleep would certainly drive me crazy! There are pros and cons of this kind of life<s> I choose I believe</s> but as I said <em>earlier</em> <em>yesterday</em> (much more natural to choose "earlier" OR "yesterday") we have to know who we are first to decide what we should be after. I know myself pretty well. A busy life with not much choice in freedom of time or money is the last thing I would want for myself. So, I’m pretty happy and grateful for the life I have now.

Nice work!

Our Hearts Know Better

When we aren’t sure what we like or want, we can always find the right answers by observing what we do closely. They are often very accurate indications which can tell us what our hearts are really after. Take me for example. Many of you probably already know that I really like exercising and writing. I don’t make a living out of them but I <em>often</em> find myself doing these activities <em>whenever I can</em><em style="color: rgb(107, 36, 178);"> (saying both is redundant)</em>. Like whenever I get time, I just can’t help starting to write. Sometimes, I even write in the middle of the night when everyone’s asleep. I don’t get paid or anything but it’s just my way of winding down. I feel joy when doing it. Also, even when I was traveling in Europe not long ago, I kept thinking about dancing and swimming throughout my journey. Besides my examples, there are also cases like if you often want to talk to or check out the updates of someone, it could mean that you really like that person a lot. This sort of liking can be anything from a simple friendship to a crush or even love. But anyhow, I believe our hearts already know very clearly as to what or who we truly like. Next time when you’re baffled, why don’t you stop to take a look at what you have been doing!

Very good!!
