Might not be "clickbait" but she acts up and clearly puts on a show. No matter what way you wanna look at it. 

goes with the situation i suppose

Just got the end, in summary

  • coming from a poor life, used to not having lot of money, know how to handle herself, had a lot of jobs.
  • mom helped her out at first, but told her parents to stop when she hitted 18 yo
  • she won't be staying forever in Belarus, probably somewhere in EU, no desire to stay in BY.
  • Fighting the urge to smoke weed (2 days straight, go girl :p) which is in sync with what she was saying yesterday to her counselor
  • hoping to find someone at some point which would also lean what she will be doing in the future.
  • Bought an old camera with film (kinda look like a pentax, but not 100% sure)

Thank you for your post.  I went back to check out the conversation and it was really fun and interesting. It was very nice to hear a bit more about her background and what she is thinking about and pondering for the near future. Just more proof that she is intelligent and capable….no matter how many times she needs to take her drivers test. 😝

A couple of things jumped out for me. Yes, I can understand why her coach told her it might be better to make plans for the future before she goes back to see family but making plans that far in advance is really only an exercise that is done before things actually happen and the things that end up happening might not have anything to do with what was planned. It is fine to make plans, just don’t get too attached to them or any potential outcome for that matter as outcomes are not in our control. It is OK to just not know what is going to happen. I read something once that stuck with me. It is said that God never gives you the ticket until you are on the train. To me that means trust where life is taking you even though you may not know exactly where that is until it is actually unfolding. If you are willing to not know then life is full of surprises. But don't just throw caution to the wind. Take care of practical matters along the way. As has been said in the east: Trust in God but tie up your camel.🐪 

The other thing is she said she spent a lot of her childhood alone. I don't believe that. There must have been a chicken and a bear around there somewhere. 😁 I have to admit I enjoy watching her interaction with her growing family. I also have a feeling that when she was little they were all she had to turn to at times so I understand how they can still give her comfort.

She's "talking to the walls" right now haha, so its fun to read back some of the posts from a couple days ago guessing that she wasn't supposed to do that anymore. All is well in Octavialand.

I agree with the folks here who find her to be the most real person on RLC. She is, by far. I find that, on the whole, she really has her shit together, mainly because she works at it really hard. And I think the fact that we're here watching her be a human being actually helps her, by giving her some perspective on herself. So good job, gentlemen. 

It is funny to write that considering I remember the time that Octavia was pulling stuffing out of her toy bear because he needed to look a bit less fat.  😂😄😄

That'll do. Apparently the chicken was talking back to her with some sass. 🐔🐔

Ah, I missed it, but I can imagine that pretty well. You gotta appreciate the creativity !
