It’s no secret that without money is bad. Especially if you have nowhere to live, no one to rely on, and no job. Ilona was in that situation. After a quick divorce, she found herself alone on the street with a small suitcase and a limited number of bills in her pocket. Despite all the persuasion and convictions, Ivan, her ex-husband, refused to lend money.
- Yeah, I'll lend you one. You won't give me a penny back, I know!
For the first time in a long time carefree life, Ilona regretted that she did not graduate from the institute. She married Ivan in the 2nd year, dropped out, and there was no talk about work. The role of the wife gave her the right to idle and work only on her beauty, but no more. Years later, Ilona had to admit that such a life has no special prospects. The presence of a stamp in the passport does not guarantee its duration.
And now without education, without work experience, without personal funds and close friends Elon was left alone on the street. Ivan refused to lend. Like, she won't. He'd rather spend those thousands on his new wife. And Ilona had no choice but to look for housing.
The most reasonable and economical option for her was the hostel. Of course, you will have to share a room with strangers. But still it is better than urgently rent a room or apartment for a lot of money.
The room was 6 beds, half of which were occupied by students from another city, and the other half by foreigners. Ilona didn't talk to anyone. Since it was bad without money, she spent her first day in the city looking for work. And then just walking around to make less contact with new neighbors.
No one hired her, because Ilona had neither experience nor education. And there were problems with skills. During her marriage, she almost forgot everything. Hobbies have long been abandoned in favor of correcting appearance and observing proper nutrition. There was no place for Elona in this world.
Peels Living in a Hostel One evening, she chatted with fellow students and told her story. They listened with sympathy and even offered their own solutions:
- Well, I don't believe you can't do anything! said one of them. - You must have a hobby. Or at least there was.
Ilona thought about it.
- I used to paint very well.
- Paints or pencils?
- The chalks, I loved them.
- Wow! I also draw them! – exclaimed the interlocutor and got the album. - Look at that!
Ilona looked at the drawings of the girl and thought with sadness that she would also like to do drawing. But once she really knew how to do it.
- And what do you do with them? asked Elon.
- I've got mostly drafts here. And then I put them on bigger sheets, and then I put them on the Internet.
- Buying?
Peels - When How. Somewhere they buy there, and somewhere at exhibitions and fairs. The money is small, but this is only the beginning. When there is a real connoisseur, then it will definitely go. Ilona, you can come back, too. In the world of art, there is a place for everyone.
However, Elona didn't believe that much. Although the example of a young girl whose future is not yet clouded by a failed marriage was inspiring. She's not that older. There's a lifetime ahead. Why don't we do this idle thing? It would be great if she really succeeded. With these thoughts, Elona went to bed.
Peels New Beginning In the morning, the student neighbors left the hostel. Elon did not even have time to say goodbye to them. She slept so hard that she couldn't hear the girls leaving. However, communication with the girls did not end there. When Ilona woke up, she saw next to her bed a new album and a set of crayons. They had a note on them:
"It's never too late to start."
Ilona gratefully accepted the gift. Indeed, it is never too late to start. Maybe it will be a new step towards a stable life. Ilona took out crayons, opened the album and began to draw.
Life Wisdom: What does this story teach us? In any situation, there is always a way out. And it doesn't always promise to be simple. Sometimes you have to go through trials and hardships to achieve your goal. Ilona will have a hard time. But now she will learn to work for herself and her new dream. Who knows, suddenly the most ridiculous idea will really help to get back on your feet.
