AT HOME

At Home
Great story. A beautiful, clever, young woman goes back home to the steppe. At first she is full of nostalgia and everything looks perfect. But with time she begins to hate it. She finds it monotonous and uninspiring. She comes to the realization that this is her life and her dreams and hopes and ambitions will never be fulfilled out in the steppe. Her only choice is to marry and conform herself to life in the steppe. Dreams, hopes, ambitions, and happiness at some point meet reality. And reality usually wins. We have two choices: to forcefully fight reality and somehow overcome the odds stacked against us and attempt to live a truthful and meaningful life or accept reality and blend with it and try to make do. The beautiful young woman who seemed so full of life at the start of the story decides to accept reality and make the best of it. As sadly, most of us eventually do.
