Thank you for your kind words, Mark! Wishing you all the best with the fundraising event! Your support for Ukraine is so much appreciated, especially in times like this!
I hear you! I wouldn't even be able to live in an apartment anymore, it would drive me batty. One thing I have learned in my 48 years of existence is to identify and refuse to interact with toxic people. Except to tell them to stick it where the sun doesn't shine.
Ha. My husband and I were walking in the courtyard of our apartment building years ago and our next-door neighbor and their young son were outside. As we walked by, the child yelled out, "WE DON'T LIKE THOSE PEOPLE, RIGHT MOMMY?"

Reading your post today, one word comes to mind.
RESPECT.
That is what "treat others as you would have others treat you" is all about.
Having followed your posts for some time, it is clear that you are full of respect for others.
Indeed, there are those lacking in respect for others. But I refuse to believe that they are more than a recalcitrant minority.
And it is true sometimes we must call them out, if only in self respect.
Your posts are full of inspiration, Darya.
You are a much needed beacon to the world.
Thank you so much for your support, Andre!

Thank you for your support, Meeri! I dream of moving to a house one day!
I applaud your strength and courage and hope that the tide turns to an apartment complex filled with people you love to be around.
Thank you, Sky! I hope so, too!
Just keep on letting your voice be heard Darya! ❤️
Thank you, Mike!
Trust yourself to be the judge of what to do...no one better placed to do that job than you. Good luck.
Thank you, Brian!
Tap and percussive dancing are great hobbies and a basic drum kit can be found for pretty cheap on craigslist.
I love these ideas! :)

Omg! This is hilarious and insulting at the same time! I hope you remember this story with a laugh now!
Oh we laughed right away! If you wanna knows something, ask the kids!!!
What is wrong with some people?
Big hugs, Darya! I love you just the way you are. You are who you are meant to be.
I do hope that relations with your neighbours can and will improve. Nothing worse than having such selfish, unthinking people around. 🫂
Thank you, Laurel!
You continue to have my respect and appreciation!
Thank you, Bill!
