His life was filled with envy, like a series of scenes on the hill. And now I don't remember, I'm buying everything here. In his head there was a storm, and the wind was blowing in the air in the air.

3:13Olga, the mother of a good boy, that day she went to her palace. Vona, as usual, lived in Tarasala-Hidno-Usmishku. Good morning, Tarasé, he spoke to Vona, giving her a tablet. But today she was forgotten, like today. Tarasmovchav, but already in this area. The ticket is too far away from the subway. He was the one who led her from Nebahatioh-Rozrad. At the same time, they were looking for a drink at the same time. You know, Tarasé, in Kolema-Lenki, they are the important ones to say in Dmitro. This is why the decision was made to think about Tarasala-Hidno-Usmishku. And here she fell asleep in her memory. In the rain, she took off the camera from the film and passed by.

4:14The friends didn't forget. The distance from the sky was far away, the white wind was blowing in the middle of the clouds. The light was a bit too far away. This was the day, but not too close. I remember, after Tarasé, Olga was happy, Dmitro was a little bit smiling. I want to remember all. And Olga, as she was saying, you can live today. You, that it was yesterday, you became a part of it. Taras turned to the window. The green trees flew, and the light of the road was like the wind. The heart of the heart opened a new opportunity. The life in the psychiatric hospital didn't work that bad. Taras knew more about her than Kola Raniša.

5:16And she was ready to return to the world, where the sun was shining. She was not afraid of falling asleep. In the rain, the light was shining. Taras knew that it was only important to guess who you were, but to find the joy of the day. With new friends and friends, we love you, Vynčakavna. Let's take another listen. Listen closely to any parts you may have missed. A spring morning began in the psychiatric ward. The sun tried to penetrate the sterile room through the window, where a young man named Taras lay.

6:21His life seemed as faceless as the gray walls around him. Taras couldn't remember how he ended up there. His mind was blank, desperately searching for answers to numerous questions. All a nurse with kind eyes visited his ward every day. She usually greeted Taras with a gentle smile. Good morning, Taras, she said, handing him a pill.

7:22But today she asked, how are you today? Taras remained silent, but he already trusted this woman. Beside the bed stood Demetro. He was one of the few comforts in the ward. Together they sought support in one another. You know, Taras sometimes small things become important, Demetro said.

8:22Taras had to think about it. This obscure expression made Taras ponder. And then something flashed in his memory. Fragments from the past, like frames of a rapid film, flew before his eyes. Friends were not forgotten. The constant April rain, the whisper of the wind, the voices of relatives heard somewhere in the yard. The feeling of unhappiness disappeared.

9:22It had all been somewhere but elusively close. I remember, Tara's whispered. All was delighted and Demetro smiled slightly. I want to remember everything. But all gently reminded him. You can live today. What happened yesterday has already become a part of you. Tara's turned to the window. The light of the road was like a wind.

10:31The spark of the heart opened up new possibilities. Life in the psychiatric ward no longer seemed so terrible. Taras now knows more about himself than ever before. And he was ready to return to a world where the sun already shown brightly. He no longer fought the past. A head lay only a bright path.

11:38Tara's knew that it was important not only to remember who you were, but also to find joy in the present. With new friends and revived dreams, he was waiting for it.
