RE: Summer Is A Long Way Away, And Yet...

in Market Fridaylast year

I remember the pleasure of shopping on holiday when I somehow forgot about the barriers I used to put on my wallet when I was at home.

I feel you😍 The one feels like this only on vacations 🙂 Actually, we save work hard all year for these couple of weeks, aren't we?

You are born for a tropical country )) I am.not sure what is my favorite season. Maybe it was summer when I was a child, but not now. I enjoy winter a lot, I love snow, and frost. The smell in the air in the night, and the sky... Autumn is gorgeous, a lot of possibilities, mild season at seaside, fruits and veggies. And bright colour. But spring is a quite special too... Ah, life is beautiful. Your pictures are so lovely... I miss sea, and summer.
Great post, and sweet memories ❤

Yes, we feel differently on holiday and we behave differently, we try to give ourselves pleasures that we don't really have at home... maybe that's why we love holidays and traveling so much. I am also ashamed to talk about holidays when I know how you are now and how many problems are in front of you. I even saw that today they bombed Kyiv again, I hope it's not something bad.

I still can't believe this is happening and I hope this bad dream will end as soon as possible, unfortunately, it's not a dream at all... you have all my admiration!
I wish you endurance and strength! It is obvious that you have both, I wish you to never lose them.

There were hits in Kyiv, but not as terrible as in the Dnipro. 😨

You know, I like to read your posts. They always have a message, a problem, and a dream. Posts like yours are my connection with the life that I miss, with normality. I hope that when the war end, I can return to that life. And sometimes, just like you, I still can't believe it's happening.

I saw on the news the tragedy in Dnipro. I saw a woman, probably a mother, cursing the bastards! I cried, really, please believe me.
Thank you for what you said about my posts, I try to do what you say but I don't know if I succeed. Your opinion means a lot to me.
I hope evil does not win but it is treacherous and lacking in humanity. You will probably endure many more such misfortunes before you and the rest of the world can stop it. Then everything will return to normal, you will rebuild a better and more beautiful country and enjoy a good life!

I believe you!.. That's why I can't watch the news, I can only read. I thought 10 months of war would make me less sensitive. But war is a trauma for everyone who sees it.
I went to the cinema for the first time in 10 months, 2 days ago. I really wanted to watch that movie. And you know, I sat with tears in my eyes for almost the entire session, and at the end, I burst into tears. Don't know what other viewers thought. For some, it was just a movie, but for me it was the story of my grandparents, parents, and now mine too.

Thank you so much for our conversation. It's so important to me as well!

I'm glad this conversation is useful. I was held back in my comments thinking you now have other priorities taking up your time. It's hard for someone like me to understand what's going on where you live in wartime conditions. The fact that people go to the cinema is unexpected to me. You see, we weren't used to war, we didn't think it was possible on such a large scale.
I'm so glad you went to the movies, it proves that life, the desire to live freely and happily overcomes brutality and that, surely, even if it will be very hard, good will win. It can't be otherwise. Either good will win or there will be nothing!

Your life, dictated by the hardships you do not say, resembles your life before the war. People want to behave as they did before. I remember seeing a news report that a woman was killed while walking her dog. Walking the dog? I was shocked at first and only then did I understand that people wanted life as before. All people want that and that's the way it's going to happen!

Ah, dogs. They can't sit still for hours, they need walking to do their ... things, and don't care war or not. But they were also scared. I remember 2 elder women with dogs were often with me in a basement.

People just want to live somehow. It is impossible to be constantly afraid or live in a basement for 10 months. Those who were very afraid left. Those who remained adapted. The cinema has a shelter and a generator. If the power is turned off, they turn on generator. An air raid starts - everything stops, everyone goes to shelter. But in fact, a lot of people lost their jobs.

I know how it is with dogs, I've had a few myself. We have to adapt too, humans adapt pretty quickly, and that's good for survival. I forgot about this aspect... I imagine many jobs have disappeared, I wonder how people live without an income. Perhaps there is some help for them?

Rescuers already found 30 bodies, and 34 are still missing 🥺🥺🥺

Yes, unfortunately. I see it on the news. Why do people have to die? Why is it accepted that even the military must die? That's an accepted crime. It shouldn't be possible for people to kill other people, other beings.

I totally agree. Sometimes I think about myself... and I cannot imagine what on earth can make me kill someone.🤯🤯🤯 Although, to be honest, sometimes my heart is overwhelmed with anger

Yes, fury! It exists and sometimes it's normal to fight back against harm or injustice. I was thinking about the fact that people find it normal to kill other people, in case of war. Sometimes even when it's not necessary, to kill people who are not a danger... children, old people.
