About Chirping Lark
The Sweet Sounds of Chirps
Tiny yet vibrant, it fills the sky with song. You may not always see it, but you know it’s there—its melody whispers and chirps the most wonderful stories of life.
Who is a Chirping Lark?
People’s person at heart that dreams big and sometimes needs to pinch herself to check if she’s awake at all.
Hi! I’m Anja—a creative soul who thrives on capturing life’s moments through visual storytelling.
I’ve always been curious about how things work and why they matter.
Over time, I’ve learned that each of us is capable of achieving incredible things. Sometimes even when we least expect it.
Life is an unpredictable bundle of most random things.
Careful What You Wish For
I’ve spent three summers in the U.S. before finally making it my permanent home in 2022.
Nope, I didn’t marry my way here. Though, I have been proposed to (but that’s a story for another time).
Instead, I got here through something called the Diversity Visa Lottery. It’s totally free and takes just a few minutes to apply.
And guess what? I went for it!
Against All Odds
You’ve got wings, you can fly where ever you want.
20 million people apply, and only 50,000 get their visas.
Just two days before the selection, I was walking down the street, quietly thinking, Please, let this be the one. I know it's meant for me.
May 8th, 2021: I opened the application form, expecting the usual short, generic reply. But instead, I saw a long letter starting with these words:“Dear Anja, you have been randomly selected…”
Complete disbelief. Goosebumps. Screaming. Laughing.
Was my wish really granted?
The Way Life Should Be
So, yes. There’s a real chance you’ll get exactly what you wish for.
The secret? Wish for it deeply. Genuinely.
Fast forward a year, and I’m back in Maine—but this time, as a permanent resident. With that came a new sense of freedom and a belief that anything is possible.
What’s Your Story?
What is it that makes you feel the way you do?
I’d love to hear your unique story. So, friend, let’s start chirping!
