How often in our youth have we heard: "Learn from your mistakes" . How often in adulthood did we say this to our children? However, without much hope[edit] Everyone knows: it is impossible to learn from other people's mistakes . Experience comes only when you make your own . Alina Dobrynina was an orphan early .

But Alya, with her hotness, "rightness", nobility, lived as her heart told her to. That is why she has not once had to endure betrayal, disappointment, the collapse of hopes. There is no such thing as a life without mistakes.... And Alya, having become quite an adult, understands: the main thing in her life was love, real, all-consuming. So she's almost a happy woman. Because it's probably impossible to be completely happy .
