Im surprised about you invited an Ieva with her 30k Followers all the way from Lithaunia. Sooo sustainable for about you, right? But okay that’s a different topic
So she went to a Starbucks she went 14 years ago and it was pretty emotional for her?
At that time she was 16 so I guess the reason why she was in Berlin had something to do with arif bc they met when she was 16, right?
That is interesting, I wonder if Ieva and Leka went to Berlin as teenagers? Leka's now-husband is German... so maybe they went on a trip there? Or did Leka meet her now-husband at via a university program?
Arif is a creep, It could be a possibility that Ieva and her friend went to Berlin as a girls trip or with Leka's mother and then secretly met him there? Not sure, there could be a hundred reasons and nothing to do with her ex "boyfriend". Unfortunately I was preyed on someone much like him when I was a teenager too but he was/is much worse than Arif. Until you realise your self-worth and know you don't deserve to be treated so disgustingly and you don't even want to be associated or near them at all. Some people are disgusting and foul humans out there. Predators get more brazen but it's interesting that Ieva had to go to Arif and he didn't travel to see her in Lithuania but he must have gone the second time. I can imagine Ieva's family not liking Arif, as most families can sense bad intentions...
I'm glad Ieva and I are both free and have respectful and amazing partners now but I do wish Ieva would embrace her own true personality. Ieva morphs into whoever she dates. I can help but feel Arif stole and wasted so much of her teenage/early 20's years, even if it was only 2 or 3 years or 9 years (how long did they date for?)... it's still time she feels like she needs to make up and discover what she missed out on back then, hence the Peter Pan type of living she's been doing.
I don't blame her in that sense but I do wonder how and why she turned 30 and still has never considered working somewhere with like-minded people, or in a creative field where she can get way more experience than she can be sitting and working in her own apartment. Yes, influencing is a real job now but I struggle to believe that she would be earning a decent wage... I mean, she gets a lot of stuff for free and perhaps she would get a few hundred to maybe a thousand euros a month (at most) but how long will that last? Most people her age have corporate jobs, of which they can also work from home and get paid a decent and steady wage.
It almost seems like Ieva's entire wardrobe is free, fast fashion clothes that brands send her and the same goes for a lot of her food/snacks.
It may sound nice and innocent at first but what will happen if these freebies start to stop? Without being rude, Ieva would be considered a MICRO influencer... there are non-influencers out there that get more engagement and likes than Ieva does. If she doesn't put meaningful effort into her posts or vlogs... people and brand deals will move into someone who they feel more connected to and inspired by.
Look at her likes on her recent posts, how can an influencer with apparently 30,000 followers only get a few hundred likes and one to three comments?! I used to love Ieva's content... I just wish she tried and cared more. I'm not saying anyone's self-worth is based on the number of likes they get but how can she consider herself a full-time influencer when she barely gets any engagement and doesn't really write proper comments back, when it's her job? I've seen people comment polite things to her and she doesn't reply that often... they definitely see the comments. She barely posts vlogs. Barely two videos a month is not a full-time job. I wish her the best.
