Almost happy women

How often in our youth we heard: "learn from our mistakes". How often in maturity we ourselves said this to our children. However, without much hope. Everyone knows: it is impossible to study on other people"s mistakes. Experience comes only when you make your own.
Alya Dobrynina early remained an orphan. Grandmother Sofya Pavlovna, who replaced her mother, father, and other relatives, lamented that her granddaughter repeated her mistakes. But Alya, with her ardor, "correctness", nobility, lived as her heart ordered. That is why she more than once had to survive betrayal, disappointment, the collapse of hopes.
But there is no life without errors. And Alya, becoming a very adult, understands: the main thing is that in her life there was love, real, all -consuming. So, she is an almost happy woman. Because being completely happy is probably impossible.
