The letter of the blogger Sandra Todorović, in which she gives precise instructions to the children in the event that, God forbid, Strefi has an unforeseen circumstance, brought us to tears. Maybe you will too.
I'm writing you these lines in case, God forbid, I get hit by an expensive car while crossing the street on a green light, or that German Alzheimer visits me and I forget who you are and whose you are.
First of all, I would like to apologize from the bottom of my heart for giving birth to you here, and not in a better place. Unfortunately, I believed that better times would come, but they didn't. Those collective hopes are a terrible thing, but somehow they keep you alive and give you the energy to survive until tomorrow. I always think: it's not that bad, there's food and fuel, I'll pay the bills when I have them, they can just confiscate this adopted dog and turn off the internet. I taught you to be honest people, to respect yourself and others. To help when needed and be noble. Do not lend money to anyone and from anyone. "Debt is not a friend". Friends will simply remain, sifted from the crowd of people who will hang around you in life. Those who remain, they will be like a consciously chosen family, which you don't have the opportunity to do with those born. And if you have any respect for me, people will love you, be there for them for better or for worse. Respect your relatives as much as they respect you. Don't buy them meaningless wedding gifts, God forbid a blanket. Always put money in a nice envelope and sign it. That's how they'll remember you and won't gossip about you.
ABOUT LOVE I could write an essay, but I won't. You will recognize it when the time comes, and when it happens to whom, that is already debatable. When it happened to me, I thought I was going to throw up my own heart from the beauty. I claim that many times it will seem to you that something is love, but it won't be, but it is just intoxication that will pass over time like a heavy hangover. Choose those similar to you and you won't go wrong. There is no order or order in this country where I raised you with great difficulty. You get used to it over time and it becomes normal. Be successful in what you choose to do, maybe a plane will be named after you, or a fast train when they invent it here.
DO NOT WAIT FOR ANYTHING
Be tolerant of those who are different from you. If someone is of a different skin color or sexual orientation, it does not mean that they are bad, they are just different from you.

We can't all be stamped. I developed your awareness of ecology from a young age. Take care of your environment, plant something, clean up after yourself. I believe that you, like me, will be annoyed by all those who don't do it. Learn them. Love and respect every living thing in nature. I never wore fur, not because I couldn't afford it, but somehow it wasn't fair to me. Respect me there. Listen only to good music...you know what good music is.
SON, BE CAREFUL OF WOMEN, respect them, never be a bully, it all comes back with instant karma and hits you when you least expect it. Pay for dinner, buy flowers, you'll get what you wanted on the first date. Always use a condom and you don't have to worry. Play an instrument, women love it. Travel. Be independent, cook your own meal, iron your shirt, fix something around the house. If you get on a motorcycle, I'll be rolling over in my grave like a pig on a spit. Earn a Mercedes for yourself, be a gentleman. Restore that grandmother's finished sideboard, it's too bad to fail. Wear pants that go a little over your shoes and take your socks off when you fuck. Don't make a fool of yourself. When you drink, don't mix drinks...never! I know what I'm talking about. Don't beat yourself up, the mind rules...I taught you that. Drugs are evil. Gambling the same. Marijuana is not a drug. The greatest human virtue is moderation in everything, if you achieve that, it means you have succeeded. Learn at least two world languages. Finish college. I trust you to come up with something that will change the world, or at least a small part of it. When a woman asks if I'm fat, tell her the truth. If he says everything is fine, nothing is fine, trust me.
Do not use silicone nipples. Tights don't wear like pants, you'll tear them. You will put a fortune on socks. Beauty hurts. Curly hair is beautiful, don't straighten it.TO DAUGHTERS, I have a few important things to say for a woman. Try to learn from other people's experiences. I know that you will not listen to me and that you will go headfirst through the wall like me, but it is my duty to warn you of this. Before you get married, finish college. If someone from his family asks you what you know and are good at, say: nothing! Everything you do after that statement will be accompanied by applause. I was wrong there. Don't shave your legs in the fifth grade! Don't dye those blond hairs black, I beg you! Be as feminine as you like.
Do not use silicone nipples. Tights don't wear like pants, you'll tear them. You will put a fortune on socks. Beauty hurts. Curly hair is beautiful, don't straighten it. Eyebrows are always different no matter how hard you try to pluck them the same. Applying eyeliner is a skill. Master her. If you think you're going to hang out all night in high-heeled shoes, there's nothing wrong with that. Flat shoes in the trunk of the car to have, always. The curlers get tired on the outside. Don't believe in diets and diet pills, that's nonsense. Move your ass, you'll lose weight.
Men are simple. Do not scare, do not persecute, be mysterious and captivating and you will be the most loved. Don't pick up his phone, don't rummage through his pockets. Don't cry for men, it's not worth it. Don't be a bitch, nobody likes that, PMS is no excuse. Learn to cook. Love comes through the stomach. Never, ever stop making art. Let her be your guiding star. She took me where I needed to be. Always put a little vanilla in the jam. Ajvar is more beautiful in small jars and does not spoil. If you add salt to the soup, put two pumpkins in it to cook for five minutes, and the problem is solved.
Men are simple. Do not scare, do not persecute, be mysterious and captivating and you will be the most loved
And yes. The water valve on the lot is turned on the opposite side.
I love you so much,
mom
