Anya from Russia, currently in London

Hey, I'm Anna from Russia, currently living in England. I’m studying software engineering, with the goal of supporting my passion for psychology and literature in the future. I love reading, hiking, iced coffee, the sea, sunshine, and animals—especially dogs. I believe in God and in the power of kindness, and I feel that even the simplest acts of love and compassion mean more than anything we’ve created in this wild world. P.S.: I live with bipolar disorder and have been given a challenging path in life. I grew up without a supportive household and lost both my parents by age 25. At this point, I’m hoping to find someone who will walk this journey with me and offer support through the unpredictable moments. It’s easy to judge or say, “there’s no such thing—you are strong, you just need to go to church more, pray more, exercise, or just be more organized.” But true understanding requires acceptance, awareness of our own blind spots, open-mindedness, and a willingness to listen.
