Violeta Mičiulienė Navigates Major Life Changes, Seeks New Home

Lithuanian director and actress Violeta Mičiulienė is navigating a period of major life transitions, describing the current phase as "very interesting." She is actively seeking a new home within Lithuania, aiming to establish roots in a place that resonates with her. "I am looking for a place to live in Lithuania. This year I will change a lot, I feel ready for it, so now I am looking for where I would like to settle," Mičiulienė shared during an appearance on the Delfi Žinių radijas program "Lekiam į...". While practical considerations like convenience and daily needs are important, she emphasized the significance of feeling a connection to her surroundings. "I have quite a few requirements, which are usually related to practicality, convenience, and what a person needs in everyday life. But I am now traveling to various places and seeing if I 'communicate' with them, if I feel a connection," she explained. Mičiulienė also recounted an intriguing encounter with a shaman who interpreted her penchant for wearing large, interesting jewelry as a form of protection. The shaman suggested that such adornments could act as a shield against "energy vampires" – individuals who unknowingly drain others' energy. According to this belief, negative energy is redirected to the jewelry, which then needs to be cleansed periodically under running water. Mičiulienė found this explanation particularly compelling. Reflecting on her life, Mičiulienė admitted to making "many mistakes" and expressed shame over some past decisions. However, she stated she harbors no regrets, emphasizing that her actions stemmed from survival instincts rather than malice. "I have done a lot of stupid things, and I am truly ashamed of some of them. They are like my skeletons in the closet. But at the time, those decisions did not seem stupid. I didn't do them out of a good life. However, I regret nothing. I never acted maliciously – I did as I knew how at the time, as I could survive. I just didn't see another path then," she revealed.
