My name is Alena, I'm 22 years old. I want to tell you my story.
I used to always think that happiness is when you have a lot of money, a job you love, and you constantly fulfill your desires, but it turns out that happiness is something else that I didn’t notice. My story begins when I graduated from medical college and went to work in a medical organization. I just finished studying new job, new friends, new stage in life, but it turned out that the beginning will begin at another moment. After working for about six months, I began to notice that my health was deteriorating. I told my older sister about this, and she sent me for examination. My older sister raised me from the age of 12 after my mother died of cancer. My father overloaded himself with work and left for another city, simply sending us money. Now I understand that I demanded the impossible from my sister, something that cannot be replaced and made up for is mother's love. Only 6 years later I realized that my mother had died. Apparently it was a shock. I couldn't accept it. I have the most wonderful, beautiful, kind sister in the world. Thank you that God gave it to me. During the examination, I suspected something was wrong, the doctors delayed the next appointment by 40 minutes. I had all sorts of thoughts in my head. When the doctor came up to me and began to tell me that I needed an expensive operation and urgent treatment, he said something about 2-3 years, to be honest, I remember everything vaguely. Expensive operation, where to get this money? That is, it turns out that in order to live, we need to pay. Leaving the office, I told my sister that I just needed a rest. I left work. I began to sit at home and think about everything. At first I felt anger, rage. I couldn’t understand why, why, where justice was. Then I cried for so long. Then calm came. I began to see the world differently. How? Getting up in the morning, I look at the sky, it is so beautiful, as if I was seeing it for the first time when it's raining, I see raindrops as if in slow motion. It feels as if God himself stopped time so that I could see and remember this beautiful world. I asked for forgiveness from everyone I might have offended in some way, I don’t know why, but I felt better. One day I couldn’t hold back my tears and burst into tears in front of my sister. I had to tell her everything. Her eyes became so sad. And the question arose, what to do if we don’t have such huge money. I even thought about going to work, just so that I would have enough for a ticket to the sea, to see the sea, the waves, beautiful sunset and dawn, and leave so that there is no pain. I began to understand that happiness is when you have people whom you love and who love you; the least you need is love. One day, while walking around the city, I came across a lottery stall. So small that more than two people cannot fit in there. I bought lottery tickets, and before leaving, the woman selling lottery tickets grabbed my hand and said: you think your luck has turned away from you, but it’s not so. And she let go. Of course, later, when I came home, I forgot about this woman, but the most amazing thing was that the tickets I bought won a huge amount. I've never even seen that kind of money. Naturally, I had surgery abroad, I bought myself a house in Russia, and my sister and dad were abroad, and I still saw the sea. This is not to be forgotten. When you are there, you feel as if you are on another planet, it cannot be put into words, you need to see it. And now I’m healthy, rich, and I understand what happiness is. It turns out that fate has been preparing a huge gift for me and my family all this time. This is an incredible gift of fate. I wrote this story because I want to tell you that it is love, it is those who love us and whom we love that make us happy.

Sometimes, in order to find yourself, you need to find yourself in unusual conditions. Free yourself from the shackles and try to breathe deeply. But the taste of life can only be felt if a person himself understands that something is going wrong. He is cramped, he is suffocating from the eternal race for something. Only if you yourself want to change your life, it will work out. And chance will help with this.

Not only all ages, but also all circumstances are submissive to love. The other half can be found where you don't expect it at all. For example, falling down from a high cliff. It seems that everything is life before your eyes, but it turns out quite the opposite - new page, happier than before. Don't believe this happens? Read the magical story of how Svetlana and Pavel met. The girl, going on vacation, did not even suspect what kind of trouble would happen to her. But it turned out to be the creation of a family.

When everything works out well and as planned, we are happy. But a streak of luck does not always happen. On life path there are sorrows, disappointments, and losses. If you can see the positive even in adversity, you are lucky. Few people have this quality, but it needs to be developed in character, because fate usually thanks those who endure its blows, continue to move forward and look into the future with optimism.

As usual, returning from work, Lena drove into her yard and saw that someone else’s car was already showing off in her parking spot. “Neighbor,” Lena thought angrily. - This is his car. I’ve been parking in another place for two years, and here you are – it’s time to take over mine!”
Thus began a marathon called: “Whoever is first is the one who belongs.” Literally. Whoever returned from work earlier occupied an excellent area near the house, under the shade of trees.

Unfortunately, this topic is familiar to me firsthand. I myself once fell into the trap called “love for a married man.” The good news is that I managed to get out of this triangle without other people’s losses and without other people’s shed tears. The tears were mine. And wasted time.
Maybe my story will serve as a lesson for someone, because sometimes we learn not only from our own mistakes, but also draw conclusions from the mistakes of others.

You can meet your destiny anywhere. Sometimes a situation that initially seemed tragic turns out happily. This, for example, happened to the heroine of our story. She flew away from hometown, to heal mental wounds, and building new relationships was not on her mind. But fate decreed differently. Cupid's arrow touched the girl's heart in an unexpected place and not under the most pleasant circumstances.

Love is an all-consuming feeling. This is the most important thing worth living on Earth for. Love gives strength that a person sometimes doesn’t even know about. If the feeling is sincere, then it can overcome any obstacles so that two people walk their path hand in hand. Unfortunately, it often happens that people give up love when they encounter an obstacle that seems insurmountable to them. And then they regret it for the rest of the days. If you have met your love, do not be afraid of anything. You can sacrifice a lot for her.

There is always a time and place for love. This feeling doesn’t matter where the man and woman met, whether they are from the same city or different. If Cupid has released his arrow, resistance is useless. If you want to become happy, start a family, then don’t be afraid of anything, take risks and fight for your feeling. Not ready for change? Then, years later, don’t be sad that you never knew what it was real love, and missed my chance to try it out. Fortunately, the hero of our story listened to the signs of the Universe, and is now very happy.

Our life consists of accidents. Sometimes such unexpected turns occur in it that we can only be amazed. Sometimes these are pleasant events, sometimes not so much, and often we are to blame for them ourselves. We didn’t think in time, didn’t talk to our friends, family, colleagues, we got scared... Of course, you can’t predict a lot in life, but it’s also wrong to completely abdicate responsibility. Especially if it concerns your children. Their experience is your experience. In many ways, their habits and views are your habits and views. As they say in England, educate yourself not your children, they will still follow your example.

Short stories. Funny incidents from life

And if you are endowed with a good memory, you probably have a lot of them. Short stories - funny, kind, comical - about your acquaintances and friends will give you smiles and a lot of positive emotions. Let's consider where various situations most often occur.
Military service
You can often hear, for example, interesting stories from people’s lives - funny, short - about the military. For example, this one. A man talks about his time in the army. While he was on duty at a checkpoint, an elderly couple approached him. The woman began to wonder where the tank unit was located nearby. The son allegedly served there, according to her. The duty officer tried to explain to the spouses that there was no tank unit nearby. In response to this, the couple tried desperately to prove that their son would not deceive them. The woman’s last argument was the photograph shown to the duty officer. It showed a young “tanker” with a proud posture, leaning out from the waist up with a lid in his hands in front of him. You can imagine how the soldier on duty laughed. Such interesting stories from people's lives (funny, short) are heard very often among the military.
Cases with documents
Where else can you find funny funny moments? Surprisingly, you can often hear stories from life, funny, short, related to working with documents. Here is one of them. The man needed to obtain a certificate for the notary's office at the State Bureau of Investigation. The office worker asked how urgently he needed the document (the cost of registration for three days is sixty-eight rubles, for two - one hundred and five). The man settled on the second option, since time, as they say, was running out. Having paid money at the cash register, I received the answer: “Come on Monday.” And it was Thursday. The girl explained that they are closed on Saturday and Sunday. “What if I paid for three days?” - asked the man. The girl explained that he would still have to come for a certificate on Monday. “Why did I pay forty rubles more?” - the man asked. "Like this? Time is running out. To get a certificate a day earlier,” the girl explained. Of course, such stories from life, funny and short, can only infuriate you at first. However, over time, you will remember such incidents with a smile on your face.
On a rest
Next option. Short funny stories from real life, related to recreation, are no less popular than the above. A lot of curiosities can be seen on the beach. How fun it was, for example, for vacationers watching the following picture. A married couple with an eight-year-old son was relaxing on the seashore. The family forgot to take the Panama hats with them. The wife went to the room to get some hats, leaving the child with the father. When she returned, she did not see her husband, but her son... He was buried in the sand. One head stuck out. To the question “Where is dad?” the boy replied: “He’s swimming!” “Why are you here?” - asked the mother. The child cheerfully declared: “Dad buried it so that I wouldn’t get lost!” Of course, it’s hard to call such an act serious, but everyone had fun!
Abroad
Short funny stories from real life sometimes continue, developing into longer, drawn-out ones. The guide tells one of them. Group Russian tourists(hockey players) went on a boat excursion along a mountain river. Often, guides provoke water fights between vacationers. This time the Germans became rivals for the Russians. Moreover, the excursion was held on May 9...
One could imagine how excited the hockey players were when they found out who they were fighting against. With shouts of “For the Motherland!” and “For victory!” They furiously splashed their oars through the water. However, they quickly got tired of this too. Turning over the objecting guide along the way, they rushed at the enemy directly on the boats, quickly turning them over into the water.
It would seem that the fun is over. But in the evening the following fact emerged: both groups settled in the same hotel. The hockey players loudly celebrated their “victory” right by the pool, singing patriotic songs. The Germans didn’t even leave their rooms.
At work
Very often there are also funny stories from people's lives (short) in the workplace. For example, this case. One man bought himself a book on Bringing it to work, he decided to try it on his colleagues. His employee wanted to “check” her daughter. The man agreed. The next day, a colleague brought an envelope with a note. Having opened it, the man immediately said: “Your daughter is 14 years old. She is an excellent student. Loves horse riding and dancing." The woman was simply shocked and immediately ran to tell her friends about everything. The man didn’t even have time to tell her about the contents of the note: “I’m an excellent student, I’m 14 years old, I love horses and dancing. And mom thinks you’re a liar.”
Cases with animals
Funny stories from short and not only, quite often they are also connected with our smaller brothers. For example, like this interesting case happened to a middle-aged man. A tired old dog once came into the courtyard of his private house. However, the animal was fattened and had a collar on its neck. That is, it was completely obvious that the dog was well taken care of and had a home. The dog approached the man, allowed himself to be petted, and followed him into the hallway. Walking slowly through it, he lay down in the corner of the living room and fell asleep. About an hour later the dog came to the door. The man released the animal.
The next day, at about the same time, the dog came to him again, “greeted”, lay down in the same corner and slept again for about an hour. His “visits” lasted for several weeks. Finally, the man decided to be curious about what was going on, and pinned a note to his collar with the following content: “Sorry, but I want to know who is the owner of this sweet, wonderful animal and whether he knows that the dog sleeps at my house every day.” The next day the dog came with the “answer” attached. The note read: “The dog lives in a house with six kids. Two of them have not yet turned three years. He wants to get some sleep. Will you allow me to come with him tomorrow?”
The youth
It happens that funny stories bring others to tears. Short stories from the lives of young people are especially common among students, applicants, and high school students. However, this case is not like that. No one was offended or disappointed. Two young guys were leisurely walking along the streets of the city. Having stopped near a kiosk with a press, where various stationery and other small items are also sold, they decided to buy a small ball with an elastic band that flies merrily if you pull it - just for fun, as they say. The problem was one thing: the guys didn’t know the name of this toy. One of the boys, pointing to the ball, turned to the saleswoman: “Give me that fennie over there!” "What to give?" - the woman asked. “Fenka!” - repeated the young man. The guys left with their purchase. The next day they passed this kiosk again. A price tag with the inscription “Fenka” appeared on the display window near the ball.
Cases with children
Funny short stories will definitely make people smile if we are talking about kids. Here is an incident that happened to a three-year-old boy. A large friendly family gathered together at one table. The child sat and calmly watched his grandmother and mother fry pancakes. All this time he just quietly said: “This is all mine. I'll eat first. Anyone who eats without me will be punished!” The women finally finished cooking and stacked the pancakes on a plate. The family took out the jam and began to sit down at the table. The boy was the last to wash his hands. Before that, he warned everyone: “I will leave. But I’ll count all the pancakes so you don’t eat without me.” Next to the plate came the following sound: “One, two, five, twenty, thirty... That’s it!” Do not touch!" When the child returned, one pancake had been eaten. The boy began to shout: “I told you, you can’t eat without me!” The relatives asked: “Did you really count?” To this the kid replied: “Are you not thinking? I can't count! I flipped the top pancake!”
It really turned out funny. After all, none of the adults could guess to turn the top pancake over with the fried side down.
Hospital stories
Very often, comical incidents occur within the walls of medical institutions. As a rule, interesting stories (funny, short) from maternity hospitals about young fathers are the most common among them. For example, this one. One man's wife gave birth. The couple were expecting twins. However, they did not know the gender of their future children. The woman gave birth to a girl and a boy. An excited man was waiting for the doctor at the door of the room. Finally, the midwife appeared. Her father ran up to her with the question: “Twins?” "Yes!" - the woman answered. Husband, smiling: “Boys?” She: “No!” Dad, smiling even wider: “Girls?” Midwife: “No!” The husband, dumbfounded: “Who?” Similar cases a lot happens every day.
On road
Real funny stories, short and long, are often associated with traffic police officers. At one of the motor depots in Novosibirsk, for example, such a case is known. There was one short driver who worked there. When he was driving the KrAZ, he was not even visible from the outside. One day a driver went on a flight without securing the rear license plate on the car. He just put it in the glove compartment. As usually happens in such cases, a traffic police officer was standing at the intersection. Seeing the car without a driver, he was very surprised and whistled. The driver found a way out of the situation. He positioned the car so that he could slip out of the second door unnoticed and secure the number. It's risky, but it's the only way to avoid a fine. So the car stopped. The patrolman slowly approached, stood and, without waiting for anyone, looked inside. Of course, he was very puzzled, looking at the empty cabin. Meanwhile, the driver secured the number, and everyone returned to their seats. The traffic police officer was even more surprised when, obeying the command of his baton, the empty car started up and drove on.
That's just funny
And one moment. A lot also depends simply on a person’s mood. Funny short stories may not have a so-called special plot. It happens that a person is simply cheerful and joyful in his soul. As they say, I got a laugh in my mouth. This is most likely explained by the fact that people face various stresses every day, minor and not so much. All this, of course, is deposited inside each of us, adversely affecting nervous system. A person, of course, does not always remember this. But all these unpleasant moments remain in my memory. Accordingly, the body has to perform nervous discharge from time to time. After all, laughter heals. Thus, the healing process manifests itself in the form of a cheerful mood.
Therefore, it is not at all surprising that this happens from time to time. You can walk down the street with absolutely absurd thoughts in your head, look at those around you, and you will feel funny. Their clothes, their gait, and their facial expressions can amuse you. By trying to hold back your laughter and smile, you thereby provoke a response from those you meet. Well, if suddenly some other incident happens... For example, a gust of wind throws a piece of paper, or a bag, or something like that in your face, this story will seem especially funny to you. And this, it’s worth reminding once again, is not gloating at all! It's just a fight against stress in our body! Laughter prolongs our life!
Everyone has moments in life when difficulties overcome them, and it seems that their hands are about to give up... The stories of these are amazing strong in spirit people will help many of us understand that we can cope with any situation and under any life circumstances, the main thing is to believe in yourself and in your strength!

Real life story
“Okay, see you tomorrow,” I said into the phone to end the conversation, which lasted more than two hours.
One would think that we are talking about a meeting. Moreover, in a place well known to both of us. But that was not the case. We were just agreeing on... the next call. And everything looked exactly the same for several months. Then I called Polina for the first time in the last four years. And I pretended that I was just calling to see how she was doing, but in reality I wanted to renew the relationship.
I met her shortly before graduating from school. We were both in relationships at the time, but there was a real spark between us. However, only a month after we met, we separated from our partners. However, we were in no hurry to get closer. Because on the one hand we were attracted to something in each other, but on the other hand, something constantly got in the way. It was as if we were afraid that our relationship would be dangerous. Eventually, after a year of mutual exploration of each other, we became a couple. And if before that time our relationship developed very slowly, then since we got together everything has started to spin at a very fast pace. A period of strong mutual attraction and dizzying emotions began. We felt like we couldn't exist without each other. And then... we broke up.
Without any clarification. Simply, one fine day we did not agree on the next meeting. And then neither of us called the other for a week, expecting this action from the other side. At some point I even wanted to do this... But then I was young and green, and did not think of doing this - I just took offense at Polina for the fact that she so easily abandoned our reverent relationship. So I decided that it was not worth imposing on her. I knew that I was thinking and acting stupidly. But then I could not calmly analyze what happened. Only after some time did I begin to really understand the situation. Gradually I realized the stupidity of my action.
I think we both felt like we were a good fit for each other and just started to fear what might happen next to our “great love.” We were very young, we wanted to gain a lot of experience in love affairs, and most importantly, we felt unprepared for a serious, stable relationship. Most likely, we both wanted to “freeze” our love for several years, and “unfreeze” it one day, at one fine moment, when we feel that we are ripe for it. But, unfortunately, it didn’t work out that way. After breaking up, we didn’t completely lose touch - we had many mutual friends, we went to the same places. So from time to time we bumped into each other, and these were not the best moments.
I don’t know why, but each of us considered it our duty to send the other a caustic, sarcastic remark, as if accusing us of what had happened. I even decided to do something about it and offered to meet to discuss “complaints and grievances.” Polina agreed, but... did not come to the appointed place. And when we met by chance, two months later, she began to stupidly explain why she then made me stand pointlessly in the wind, and then did not even call. Then she again asked me for a meeting, but again she did not show up.
The beginning of a new life...
From then on, I began to consciously avoid places where I could accidentally meet her. So we haven't seen each other for several years. I heard some rumors about Polina - I heard that she was dating someone, that she left the country for a year, but then returned and started living with her parents again. I tried not to pay attention to this information and live own life. I had two novels that seemed quite serious, but in the end nothing came of them. And then I thought: I’ll talk to Polina. I couldn’t imagine what went through my head then! Although no, I know. I missed her... I really, really missed her...
She was surprised by my phone call, but also delighted. We talked then for several hours. Exactly the same the next day. And the next one. It's hard to say what we discussed for so long. In general, everything is about a little and a little about everything. There was only one topic we tried to avoid. This topic was ourselves...
It looked as if, despite the years that had passed, we were afraid to be honest. However, one fine day Polina said:
– Listen, maybe we can finally decide on something?
“No, thank you,” I answered immediately. “I don’t want to disappoint you again.”
There was silence on the line.
“If you are afraid that I will not come, then you can come to me,” she finally said.
“Yeah, and you’ll tell your parents to kick me out,” I snorted.
- Rostik, stop it! — Polina began to get nervous. “Everything was so good, and you’re ruining everything again.”
- Again! – I was seriously indignant. - Or maybe you can tell me what I did?
- Most likely something that you can’t do. You won't call me for several months.
“But you will call me every day,” I imitated her voice.
– Don’t turn things upside down! – Polina shouted, and I sighed heavily.
- I don’t want to Once again to be left with nothing. If you want to see me, then come to me yourself,” I told her. – I’ll wait for you in the evening at eight o’clock. I hope you come...
“Whatever,” Polina hung up.
New circumstances...
For the first time since we started calling each other, we had to say goodbye in anger. And most importantly, now I had no idea whether she would call me again or come to me? Polina’s words could be interpreted as either an agreement to come or a refusal. However, I was waiting for her. I cleaned my studio apartment, which I didn’t do very often. I cooked dinner, bought wine and flowers. And he finished reading the story: "". Every minute of waiting made me even more nervous. I even wanted to give up my rude behavior and intransigence regarding the meeting.
At fifteen minutes past eight I began to wonder whether I should go to Polina? I didn’t go only because she could have come to me at any moment and we would have missed each other. At nine o'clock I gave up hope. I angrily started dialing her number to tell her everything I thought about her. But he didn’t finish the job and pressed “End”. Then I wanted to call again, but I thought to myself that she might view this call as a sign of my weakness. I didn’t want Polina to know how worried I was about her not coming, and how painfully her indifference hurt me. I decided to spare her such pleasure.
I went to bed only at 12 o’clock at night, but I couldn’t sleep for a long time because I kept thinking about this situation. On average, I changed my point of view every five minutes. At first I thought that only I was to blame, because if I had not been stubborn like a donkey and came to her, then our relationship would have improved and we would have been happy. After a while, I began to reproach myself for such naive thoughts. After all, she would have kicked me out anyway! And the more I thought that way, the more I believed it. When I was almost asleep... the intercom rang.
At first I thought it was some kind of mistake or joke. But the intercom kept ringing persistently. Then I had to stand up and answer:
- Two o'clock in the morning! – he barked angrily into the phone.
I don't even have to say how surprised I was. And how! With a trembling hand, I pressed the button to open the door to the entrance. What will be next?
After a long two minutes I heard the call. He opened the door... and saw Polina sitting in a wheelchair, accompanied by two orderlies. She had a cast on her right leg and right hand. Before I could ask what happened, one of the men said:
– The girl discharged herself at will and insisted that we bring her here. Her entire future life apparently depends on this.
I didn't ask anything else. The orderlies helped Polina sit on the large sofa in the living room and quickly left. I sat down opposite her and looked at her in surprise for a whole minute.
There was complete silence in the room.
“I’m glad you came,” I said, and Polina smiled.
“I always wanted to come,” she answered. – Do you remember the first time we agreed to meet, but I didn’t show up? Then my grandmother died. The second time my dad had a heart attack. It seems incredible, but it's still true. As if someone didn't want us...
“But now, I see, you didn’t pay attention to the obstacles,” I smiled.
“It happened a week ago,” Polina pointed to the plaster. – Slipped on the icy sidewalk. I thought we'd meet when I got better... but I thought I just needed to make a little effort. I was worried about you...
I didn't answer and just kissed her.
