The first money she earned was from picking berries and for now knowing the minefield terrain - writes ba.n1info.com.
- I knew that I thought, my God if I lift my leg, what will happen. Will I survive or no - said Valentina Duvnjak.
She started her new life on Kupres plateau with building the house on the foundations of old demolished one. She took out stones, bricks, boards. She didn't even know that she will build.
There is no division of male and female works because this woman does everything that is needed.
- I laid last bricks when the snowflakes started falling on me. I climb the ladder and my mother is handing me the bricks and the plaster in a small bucket because it is impossible to lift a large bucket - she said.
Carrots, beets, cabbage, onions - they bring solid incomes. She produces her vegetables naturally, without any chemicals, at the altitude of 1.200 meters above sea levels, she advertises on social networks and she delivers them to customers.
- Even if this carrot had 2 kilos, it's no good if it's not healthy. What does it matter if the vegetables are smaller, it is important that it is healthy - said Valentina.
She reveals that a lot of people say that the state they live has no perspective, that nothing is good in it. She thinks that it's not true and that this is one of the richest countries in Europe, if not the world.
- We live in a state that is too rich! We have fantastic forest resources, water resources, fascinating possibility to develop livestock breeding, we have quality fertile soil, we have everything a man needs to make his life good. However, there is a constant story that we live in a bad country and that creates an impression that this country is at the bottom, where nothing can work.
No, we have a fascinating country, but we have a poor controlling administration which should lead this country the way they should. I will take my example, we started working on fields which were not worked for 30 years, someone would say "its no good, it's not usable", and the land is just well rested now.
The workday starts before the sunrise. She works the land with her mother by hand. She even brings water in buckets.
Venison often came to the garden and that is why we set up an electric scarecrow. The rabbit already ate cabbage, bear apple. And packs of wolves walk by the house searching for water.
- Wild animals are something entirely normal. The village is deserted and they are around now because they think of this as their territory.
When she returned she didn't even have electricity, nor water. Winters are sharp and they go up to -25 and when they are snowed in, no one can go anywhere for months, writes ba.n1info.com
But, she doesn't miss the city. She worked several jobs there, she rented the apartment and she was constantly under stress. She got here with some change from her ticket, and she created a house, she bought a car and she lives in peace in two years.
Valentina found a life that fulfills her in the village. Will she stay there forever, she doesn't know because she decided to live day by day.
- The day begins with a smile, it's seven o'clock, the birds are singing, I don't look at the watch because the time doesn't mean anything to me. Sunrise and sunset mean something, a cloud, will there be rain or no. Those are some pointers that determine my day. One much simpler and different life from the one I had and that is much better to a man.
I don't know what will happen in one year and I don't want to know. Like when I made a choice to go to Kupres plateau, it can happen that I decide to go to some different place and I would like to say to people - don't think too much about the future or what will happen in one year, two, five. Try to live your life one day at the time, and no one knows what tomorrow will bring - concludes this young girl, writes buka.com
