This book is dedicated to those who have had a profound impact on my life and helped shape me into the person I am today.
To my father, who invested so much effort in my education, taught me to be curious, and gave me countless wise pieces of advice that have helped me many times through difficult moments.
To my mother, who taught me kindness, sincerity, and respect for others. She gave me love that warmed me during the toughest times of my childhood and, by her example, showed me the importance of being polite, supporting those around you, and appreciating everything you have.
To my brother, with whom I have traveled a long road together. For our shared childhood, for his loyalty and support, for always being there — my most reliable companion.
To Anya — a friend who has supported me and continues to support me throughout the years. She dragged me outside for walks when I was eaten up by depression, joined me in many of my adventures, and remains a loyal comrade even though we now live in different countries.
And, of course, to Nadya from the Maryino district in Moscow — the person who awakened the strongest feelings in me and gave me the motivation to move forward. Her influence on my life cannot be overstated: thanks to Nadya, I learned resilience, humility, and patience, and she became an integral part of my destiny.
This book is the result of my journey, which would not have been possible without each of you. Thank you for everything you have done for me and everything you have taught me.
