Trigger Warning: mention of domestic violence, abuse

I've had many hardships in life. Major events in my life would be abusive situations I escaped, my cats viral disease he recovered from and my 2 cardiac arrests followed by coma in 2021. Everybody who has helped me, I would like you to know how thankful I am till this day! <3 and thank u to my cats for keeping me alive!! 

A word of appreciation from Nastja

I would like to say big thank you to my mom, grandmother and grandfather for providing me with a chance to leave Russia and start a brand new life in Australia. I also appreciate them for providing me with a safe heaven at times from domestic violence that was happening at home and general violence I've endured on Russian streets. I would like to thank my mom for the little of good time she gave me and for everything she has taught me. And big thank you to my sisters for keeping me great company during childhood.

I acknowledge the Gadigal of the Eora Nation as well as Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung and Bunurong / Boon Wurrung peoples of the Kulin as the traditional custodians of the lands where I was first welcomed on and where I currently reside today. I pay big respects to Elders past, present and emerging and celebrate the diversity of Aboriginal Peoples and their ongoing cultures and connections to the lands and waters of Australia. I say big thank you to local Indigenous Community for being my safe heaven now, providing me with a peaceful and beautiful land you have taken care of for thousands of years.

I appreciate everyone I've met in my life who contributed even a tiniest bit of information/resources to me or shared their kindness. I did not grow up in a healthy environment so thank you guys for helping me through my way in life.  

much love

nastja xoxo
