Man, what a day! I woke up in Romny, and I swear, the sun was like, “Yo, let’s make today wild!” First off, I’m an artisan, right? So I’m all about that creative life. But today? Pffft, it was a rollercoaster.
I hit the streets, and lemme tell ya, the vibe on Soborna Street was electric. People hustlin’, kids laughin’, and the smell of fresh bread from the bakery on the corner. I mean, who doesn’t love a good loaf? But then, bam! I step in a puddle. Like, seriously? It’s not even raining! My shoes are soaked, and I’m like, “Great start, genius.”
So I’m tryna shake it off, right? I stroll down to the park by the river. It’s usually chill there, but today? Nah. There’s this dude blasting music from his phone. I’m talkin’ full-on disco party in the middle of the park. I’m like, “Bro, it’s 10 AM, not a club!” But hey, I can’t lie, it was kinda catchy. I found myself bobbing my head. Ugh, I hate when that happens!
Then, I see this old lady on Haharina Street. She’s selling flowers, and her smile? Pure sunshine. I bought a bunch, and she gave me this look like I just made her day. I felt all warm inside. Like, who knew a few flowers could do that? But then, I realized I forgot my wallet at home. Classic me. I had to run back, and I’m sprinting like I’m in the Olympics.
Finally, I get back to her, all outta breath, and she just laughs. I mean, how can you not love Romny? The people here are gold.
After that, I headed to my workshop. It’s on Kostiantynivska Street, and let me tell ya, it’s my happy place. I’m working on this new piece, right? A wooden sculpture of a bird. Sounds simple, but it’s a beast. I’m carving away, lost in my thoughts, when suddenly, my buddy Oleg barges in. He’s like, “Dude, you gotta see this!”
Turns out, there’s a street fair happening on Myru Street. I’m like, “Why didn’t you tell me sooner?” So we ditch the workshop and head over. The fair is packed! Food stalls, games, and people everywhere. I’m in heaven. I grab some varenyky, and oh man, they’re heavenly. I could eat these all day.
But then, I see this guy trying to juggle. He’s dropping everything. I’m laughing so hard, I almost choke on my food. Oleg’s like, “Dude, you should try!” And I’m like, “Nah, I’m good. I’ll stick to carving.”
As the sun starts to set, the sky turns this crazy orange. I’m standing there, feeling all the feels. Romny is beautiful, man. The streets, the people, the vibe. It’s home.
But then, outta nowhere, it starts to rain. Like, really rain. Everyone’s scrambling for cover, and I’m just standing there, laughing. I mean, what else can you do? I’m soaked again, but I don’t care. I’m just soaking in the moment.
Finally, I head back home, exhausted but happy. I think about the day, all the ups and downs. Romny, you crazy city, you’ve got my heart. Can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings!
