The Flying Mermaid ★


Over two years passed. The plenty of commitment, work, ideas and sacrifices. Two years of building this blog from the beginning, from the zero, brick after brick as far as a house was made. The house which demands the care and the faith, to be able to become solid and grow in powers. Alterations, streamlining, improving, the unceasing effort, aspiration to the ideal, which still is unattainable. Getting readers, persons which like and want to come back to me, to read my texts. And in the end the biggest success. Achieving the threshold of ten million visits on my website and getting contact with people about which I would never even dare to think.
This is the time. Time, when it's necessary to finish one stage. Time, when it is necessary to do a forward step and to cross new limits, to start sinking new paths. It's the time to set off to unknown waters, and this, what old and well-known, just leave behind.
For years I dreamt of writing, it was my small secret wanting, of which which I was afraid to carry out. As far as in the end I dared. I tried. I established this blog, walking a tightrope, and seeing first results I believed. I believed I could something more. Therefore now, after two years from that moment, I decided to take the ultimate and crucial decision.
Along with the new year my blog will stop being the same blog which it was earlier. It is an end of being under the concern, end work for somebody. In 2018 I will come with my own conditions. Many situations during my blogging life proved me, that I could afford mine, that people appreciate me, appreciate what I do.
So it's time for closing the door behind myself with a thud and beginning new, strong story.

Along with the end of December 2017 ▶magdaleneanne.blogspot.com◀ will stop existing, and ▶magdaleneanne.com◀ will be born. And only with such a www address you will be able to find me.

I hope, that with own name, building the private label I will be even stronger than so far. This change will be a milestone and filling the sails which will bring a lot good, and above all will let progress. Maybe it will be a step, to the greatest success? Who knows, I'm not going to give up, and the perseverance is bringing the biggest fruits. 

See you in a few days with news! 

Time to sum up the last twelve months which are walking away into the shadow and will never again come back. Will you miss them? Or maybe you are glad that it's gone? How did this year pass for you? Was it excellent for you, or you aren't pleased with it? You regard it as one of better years in your life, or not necessarily? Will you remember well that 2017 which is just becoming history? Did you already do the examination of conscience with a slight tongue in cheek so that in the jollity say goodbye to the past, and say hello to the future? 
I devoted a few last days to reflection concerning events which took place in my life this year. From one side I could call it one of best in my life, on the other... As one of the most difficult. Ones of the most beautiful changes about which I will never forget took place and which will always evoke the smile on my face, but also some things happened which I'd prefer to wipe out from my memory forever. With pride and joy I can also admit that I managed in one hundred per cent to fulfill some (and most important) from my New Year's resolutions which I set myself standing up on the threshold of 2017 to which we are just saying goodbye. In spite of bitter moments and some problems, I was happy. Really happy. It was the year, which I officially became adult, but first of all there were twelve months, during which in my life the biggest changes and turning points took place. I took also a lot of valuable lessons which definitely will be useful to me in the future. However the biggest happiness and treasure of life is to be a loving and loved person. 
And now... With mind full of new ideas and motivation, courageously and definitely I'm waiting for coming the midnight of new, the 2018. I wish this year would be beautiful and fruitful time both in the private, as well as blogging sphere.

We got it! The new year is coming very fast. Time of new decisions, spinning new agendas and one of the greatest tests of the own will power. With each passing day of the end of the old year more and more big list of New Year promises made to oneself is arising in mind. How the truth will be? Sweet or painful? Whether the strength of our will will puncture the wall and will give us the full of satisfaction from achieving wanted goals, or just the opposite, in its weakness will give us disappointment? Will we persevere in what we promised to ourselves?
Me, personally, saying goodbye to this year I chose the modesty and the prudence in the selection of my wishes to fulfill which I set myself. I said goodbye to the million of trifles, and said hello to a few, but solid resolutions, to which I will make every effort to achieve and to carry it out in one hundred per cent. Will I get it? We will see. I hope, that yes and I count on it, that the new, next year will give me plenty of profits, happinesses and pleasures, but first of all reinforcements. Who knows, what will happen... I feel that it will be something excellent, that a few hundred new days which soon will become reality will bring thousands of wonderful moments to my life.
And how about you? How does your list look like...? Already ready, or maybe you didn't still think about it, or generally speaking you don't care about preparing New Year's resolutions and don't do this? Whatever is your attitude, I wish you much happiness and the perseverance!

What's done is done!
A few days ago, after two years of having the blog I got 10 millions of your visits and every month about 100-300 thousands of unique users visiting me. For me, as for the ordinary girl writing with passion, it's the great success and honour, which has always been inconceivable for me. Wow, really. So I want to thank you all very very very much for the fact that you were and you are with me, that you read what I write, that you are devoting your free time for looking to my blog and you don't leave me, in spite of better and worse moments. I'm extremely grateful for you for this huge dose of motivation which gives me power and is encouraging to keep going and continue my work. It really means a lot for me. I hope that you will stay for a long time and we will together make our way to next millions. One more time thank you for this unexpected pre-Christmas gift and I hope that my blog will remain the particle to which willingly and gladly with smile you will come back in your free time. 🌸

Best regards.
~ Magdalene Anne


PS. I know I'm not photo artist but at least it's personal and honest 😉

Sometimes there are moments in the life, when clutching the head is nothing. When air is so thick that it's hard to breathe. Sometimes to not to go completely mad it's necessary to simply dissociate yourself. Not to think. Not to overthink. To concentrate only on what you love, but about the rest just to forget, as if stopped existing, as everything around ordinarily wasn't. I know, it sounds strange, but in some situations such an attitude is essential to live and to survive. If somebody never felt, that a second or two more in such sea of thoughts and incidents, and will explode - will never also understand what I am writing here about and I'm trying to hand over. Sometimes despite everything - it's worthwhile simply, for own good to close thoughts, to dissociate yourself from everything what makes feel bad, to devote yourself to what you love, give it time, to open heart and let it guide... And wait till every cloud will have a silver lining...

A few days ago we had a chance to admire millions of beautiful falling stars in the sky. It's awesome view, the same as feelings which are accompanying seeing the star with sparkling speeding above the head.
For me these tiny shining dots have a great personal meaning, I have the great fondness for them. Stars and the sea, it is my duet. I'm strongly connected with them, accompanied a few most beautiful moments in my life, influenced and gave a lot to the amazing climate. Always, no matter what, flashing by all over the sky they heralded and are heralding coming of something incredible.
Universally believing that falling stars are fulfilling dreams is accepted and many persons hold it... But today not about it, because after all for what to be guided by superficial beliefs, when it's possible to have a fresh look according to own experiences and to feelings. I won't write "what people..." here, because why to talk about something, what's already for ages known. I'll write about myself, about things which I have experienced and how this everything actually is.
So... Do I believe that falling stars can fulfill dreams? Partly yes, partly not. Everytime when I can see it I'm sure that very soon something beautiful what will fill me up with happiness will come. I'm sure about it, because maybe with the ordinary coincidence, accident, or real influencing - after seeing this phenomenon some of my wishes and dreams has always found fulfilment in the short time, after the storm a sun came out, a smile appeared on my face anew, and hope grew in me. Therefore I feel, that there must be something in it. Admittedly somebody can say it is a stupidity, but from own experience I know, that everytime I see the falling star in the sky, the ups and downs of life are going very successfully even in the blackest time, when my hopes for the success and better times are zero. I don't care about other people opinion, I don't impose my opinion to anybody, so I will also let nobody impose theirs to me. Whatever is the truth about the influence of these heavenly bodies on human happiness and dreams coming true, I personally think that it's the motivator which helps to think at least a bit more positively, makes eyes open more widely to world and and it's more easy to make steps which will lead to achieving the fulfilment. However despite of everything stars have a great sentimental meaning for me above all, and in combination with the sea are creating unforgettable mood.

Magic. Do you believe in it? Looking for this, what magical? Are you going it deep into this, what mystical? Whether you are completely without the faith and you don't believe in existence of this secret particle? You need the magic? No? So I will give the secret away for you: everyone needs it. There is no man in the world which wouldn't like to feel in life at least a bit magically, exceptionally as never before. There is no person which wouldn't like to experience something unusual, breathtaking, worth to remember and exciting till death. There are people which believe in horoscopes, dream books, predictions, in the belief that it will enchant them and something incredible will happen, that rituals have this special meaning. But the truth is that in self everyone has a magic. It's everything what we believe, what nobody else has. Our thoughts and feelings have a power, not witchcraft, elixirs and spells. Real magic all we have in ourselves, it is what is hidden in the mind. It's what pulses in heart, as blood in our veins.

I remember this day, this moment, like it was yesterday. I remember, when one day somebody asked me the question, inconspicuous, little meaning question: "What you think, what kind of feeling it is to be popular?". My answer also stucked in mind very well: "The recognizability and a lot of hate, nothing interesting or pleasant. I would like to never have such a situation in my life."
It was five years ago. From this everyday, normal talk five years passed. Five long years, when everything changed against one hundred eighty degrees. I was an ordinary, shy and timid thirteen-year-old girl which would never think that in a few following years something will happen, what considerably will change and will influence for her life. In that moment it wouldn't come to my mind even for a second, that this "something" somehow can affect me. Definitely for nothing in the world I would suppose that as the eighteen-year-old girl I will be recognised by people which I don't know, abroad, that strange persons will write hundreds of the messages to me, that will ask for photos, and definitely wouldn't come to my mind, that I will become someone's idol. I won't mention also, that if that time somebody told me that in this age I'll be writing the quite widely-read, multimillion blog for two years - I would ridicule him.
Popularity. Whether personally I feel popular? Not. In spite of the fact that some matters can evidence for such a fact and in some people's eyes quite clearly prove, I don't see myself as the person somehow specially popular at all. Why? Modesty? Low self-assessment? Falsehood? Rather not. I just don't like to swagger, I don't care and don't need it. Do I feel any effects of this fact? On this field unfortunately, but yes, apart from these advantages mass of hate appears, of nosey, envious hyaenas without own life which are sitting like such vultures and looking for newer and newer "better" technics in order to destroy my feeling of well-being and as the most demotivate. They don't get it, but after all still are doing themselves this pointless effort.
Some years ago, submerged in the deep unawareness I said that I would never like to have in my life something like that, that I would never like to become recognizable. But well, happened. The time did its own, the ups and downs of life came this way, and that's it, is how it is.
Do I regret? No. Not even a bit. Even in the least I don't regret of establishing this blog, I don't regret that I started writing, having my own website and sharing the part of myself with world. The time is passing, years passed, I don't and I don't intend to entertain with thinking "What would be, if...?". Speculating isn't for me and it won't do anything good for my life. I am how I am, I do what I do and in none, even in one percent I don't regret that I started my activity.

Sometimes it's difficult. Sometimes really difficult But hey. After all nobody never said it will be easy. Nobody made such promise. A life isn't sugar cotton, but the constant fight for survival, happiness and surviving. One time ascents, one time falls. Such course of things, absolute springboard, roller coaster. But even and to be in a centre of the biggest mess, it's necessary to have in oneself this something, not to give up, to remember these happiest moments in the life and to fight with all strength to make them as often as possible and as more as possible. There are also other people affecting what happens around, which many times are toxic, because unfortunately a lot it's also impossible to avoid. Appear so which want to mess up, which are causing havoc, bad atmosphere, but one is forbidden - to let such characters influence to us, to our personality, plans, self-esteem, especially a self-esteem! And it is the most important, most difficult ability and quite a challenge. It's impossible to predict the life, is never fully certain and known what will happen. But if something bad happens, one large mill which isn't possible in any way to understand, it's always necessary to stay strong, to believe in self, to remember about it, what most beautiful, to aspire to the better and to be above all else. It's never worthwhile letting to be provoked, to lose power, but first of all it's forbidden to doubt in self and in the better future. Because the future and the self-confidence, these are two huge investments. There's just smile needed, to remind about what and whom you care the most, and world already looks better.

It comes across a lot of obstacles on its way. Many times it's being exposed to huge and supernaturally difficult attempts. It forbears conspiracies and intrigues of others. But true, pure and this only one - will survive everything. Accident? Destiny? As you like. Any names. As for me - accidents don't exist. And at least already a long time ago stopped to exist. Destiny... Also good - I didn't believe in this. Chemistry? Maybe. Act of God? Good joke. So... What?

Something unusual. Awesome. Magic. The infinity of one moment and of eternity. Love.
Since when I remember, I didn't believe in destiny. Since when I exist, I was sceptical. With word - man of small faith. And finally stop. Something changed. I believed. What's more, I personally find it out. At some point the fate showed me, that there are no limits of place, time, space, and already and all the more - of feelings. Limits don't exist. But magic of the destiny - of course.
However the biggest treasure, miracle and power is a true love of two people which believe and feel that they are everything for each other, and what connected them is something unusual, imperishable, amazing and unique.
