Almost Happy Women

How often in our youth did we hear: "Learn from your mistakes." How often in adulthood did we say this to our children ourselves? However, without much hope. Everyone knows: it is impossible to learn from others' mistakes. Experience only... comes when you make your own. Alia Dobrynina became an orphan at a young age. Her grandmother Sofia Pavlovna, who replaced her mother, father, and other relatives, lamented that her granddaughter was repeating her mistakes. But Alia, with her fervor, "correctness," and nobility, lived as her heart dictated. That is why she had to endure betrayal, disappointment, and shattered hopes more than once. But life without mistakes does not exist. And Alia, now fully grown, understands: the main thing is that there was love in her life, real, all-consuming. And that means she is almost a happy woman. Because to be completely happy is probably impossible.
