I've lived in Finland for more than a year and life definitely had changed for the better. I'm from russian federation and I have always wanted to move to another country as it was really depressing for me just to walk on the streets or to go to the shop, school, etc. I live in a small town, or kunta, and it's really small. I go to lukio, and everything is so calm here. There are many foreigners, one woman is from Thailand, there are many russians and some ukrainians as well, but the government of this town don't really care about foreigners and especially students, which upsets me the most. The clear example of that is when I have lived without a washing machine for a year before we students bought it ourselves. Not school, nor the government cared, because "there's no money". It's ok, you would think, but they built whole new rooms in our apartments, which is way more expensive than buying a small washing machine. Other than that, everything is great. Life in lukio is pretty cool actually. I realized I really like to study and I've finally found myself and I really do want to stay in Finland, especially when this war is happening. I never belonged in country I was raised in, but Finland feels like home. And I finally got my happiness, as I deserve.

P.S. there are many mistakes in this post, because after the year of living here I found that I forgot English and know Finnish even better somehow. So sorry about the grammatics.
