Hi there and hello, amazing ladies and gentlemen. I've discovered this forum by chance, but what a chance it is!

My name is Katsarina and I became 18 this year. I live in Belarus, so my native language is obviously not English. Pardon me for any mistakes.

As a child, I was what you would call a prodigy. As a teen, I was an outsider. And as a young adult, nowadays, I am a work in progress, the very me from my dreams. In elementary school, I was super easy-going, the star of the class, and then suddenly - almost an outcast.

I believe I did great in those years. Even though I started to be, for some reason, shy and unsure, and embarrassed in every conversation, I'm proud I was annoyed and mad at myself. It helped me to change (still WIP, huh).

I had and have my interests like neuroscience, technology, AI, engineering, different fandoms, games~ Some things are just consistent (like knowing that slowlane is indeed NOT my path), but my life is totally inconsistent, and here I try to find some harmony and balance.

To tell you my recent story...
We have 11 grades, and when I was in last, my interest was suddenly lost. Even finding lose holes in rules became boring. This continued through the year, but yeah, I was able to finish as one of the best.

After that, I, of course, took exams and entered "our best university" (doing minimal, cuz actually it wasn't we who wanted to go to uni that year). Aaand... Long story short, it was an amazing year, I found my friends, worked on my communications, had a great experience overall, but quit it with understanding 'I don't want to go to uni yet'. 2020-2021 was one of the best years of my life, so I appreciate my family's pushing to go get high education, yeah. But you understand, I don't like to be the "same as normal people" (grandparents obsessed with society's opinion).

So I decided to quit it on my own, and the next problem would be to convince my fam. They still do not agree, but they accept. At the same time, I wrote a CV and got the job I was wondering about from March 2021. Yeah, it's a cook. Sushi cook (?). It was an interesting experience, and I loved it.

Then, not long ago, I shared my first payment with dad, and he went like "seriously? that's all you've got? you have outstanding English skills, whatcha doin'?" and provided me vacancies he found likable. I thought for about 1-2 hours... Yup, another CV, hello. I also sent it to the companies I liked, and got calls from many people (as it was the last time; dunno, like being narcissistic).
The CV was about me wanting to work in business... But huh. I went another way.

So I found that one remote job about Customer Support and English... I sent them my google form, was invited to the google meet interview, and... I am now on probation (。•̀ᴗ-)✧

So you might think, "Oh, everything was so easy for you!" But nope, wrong-wrong-wrong.

Just yesterday I discovered the post on this forum that literally described me. It was about how I can get the stuff done when I'm an ENTP. I always wondered why I can't be as successful as my grandpa, or my uncle, why I can't do what I want to do... SMART goals didn't work, schedules didn't work, motivations, videos, articles, - nothing worked. "What's wrong with me?" (my anxious self kept asking without getting answers).

The post opened me like a box with the right key. More than that, I got a chance to discover this forum. It's fascinating, and I'm happy still being young and menace. There are abilities and opportunities, and challenges, and adventures...

Anyways. It's a long intro. I can't hold you for long, aye?


Starting to read the Millionaire Fastlane (pls keep reading, girl, pls). And I already know Fastlane is my choice. And that I don't want to be an employee in the next 15 years, too.

(For some reason I was called by the guy who works in startup yesterday, today we had a meeting; an entrepreneur lady subscribed to my Instagram. Universe, as always, is messing with me)

Have a wonderful day and a peaceful night✨

(Or maybe I could have written more...)
