In Russia, we don’t ask, “Are you happy?”
We ask, “Did you survive?”
Different question.
Americans spend thousands chasing happiness.
Russians know happiness is like good weather—it visits when it wants.
So we don’t wait for it.
We make tea.
We fix what’s broken.
We go to work.
We laugh at terrible situations because sometimes that’s the only thing left to do.
Life is not supposed to be easy.
It’s supposed to make you interesting.
If today is hard, good.
That means tomorrow you’ll have another story nobody can take away from you.
And if everything falls apart?
At least you’ll know exactly what you’re made of.
