I had a cherished dream - to see myself as a little girl.

For example, five years old. Cheeky, peanut, with straw-colored hair burnt out in the southern sun. I loved talking to caterpillars. I asked questions and patiently waited for answers. The caterpillars curled up or crawled away. They were silent.

I wanted to see myself ten years old. Funny, angular, timid. With long thin braids on the shoulders. Dad bought a record player, and we listened to fairy tales all day long. They put a vinyl record on a stand, pressed a special button | holding their breath, they lowered the membrane with a gentle movement. And they listened, listened, listened.

I wanted to see myself as a little girl so much that I once took and wrote a book about my childhood. About my family and our friends. About family and friends. About the city where I was born. About the people who live there.

Manyunya is the light that I keep in my heart. That beautiful thing that I gladly shared with you.

I had a cherished dream - to see myself as a little one.

It turns out that my dream has come true.

Now I know for sure that dreams come true.

They definitely come true.

You just need to really want it.
