MY RESULTS OF THE YEAR 2022
USUALLY, AT THE END OF THE YEAR, WE WRITE WHAT WE HAVE ACHIEVED, WHAT WE HAVE DONE, WHAT WE HAVE LEARNED THROUGHOUT THE YEAR ... AND IN GENERAL, WHAT A WOW COOL THIS YEAR WAS ... BUT THAT WAS ALL BEFORE THE WAR ... ...This year has been a nightmare. Your afraid of war? - OK. "ooops".. war has come.. the biggest fears always come true... Basements..sirens..rockets..bombs arriving...how many civilians died in Ukraine, even state statistics do not know. The main achievement of the year is that we are alive!! We keep the "roof" with the last of our strength. What have we learned this year (God forbid never learn this again). We learned a lot… from a 5-second readiness to run into a bomb shelter to full confidence and trust that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are now kicking those occupants in the neck and dispersing all missiles and enemy drones over our city. Some Ukrainians even know how to shoot down drones with preserved cans 😉 We have learned to lose .. ((((
this is a terrible pain with us from February 24 .. when peace and tranquility were lost ... when they lost the most precious thing - the lives of relatives and friends .. when they saw off the Heroes of the Defenders of Ukraine on their last ways ... You can learn this, but get used to it and forgive never!!!!! We have learned how to filter news (among the megaton texts in Telegrams) in private messages as well. We have learned to distinguish the sound of these terrible flying missiles, bombs, projectiles, mines, drones with explosives ... We learned the highest art of time management (during a short supply of electricity, quickly make our plans and again plunge into the darkness of a blackout, we learned to be our own psychologists, console and calm our children (who received deep psychological trauma), we remembered how to cook economical meals, we have learned to find joy even in the fact that we are alive and woke up in the morning.When it is completely sick, we go to make donations for the Armed Forces of Ukraine and homeless animals.
What have I learned? only now I began to realize that I had learned to accept the life that turned 180 °. And then these predictions “2-3 weeks maximum and everything will end” - if I could, I would slap this ... "sedator" with a wet towel in the face ... We learned what we didn't know how to do before... ...To live in a deep basement and drag everything you can there... from a kettle and dishes to freshly brewed soup and a carpet on pallets where children and old people slept. Driving a car when enemy missiles are flying overhead and bringing death to all living things .. at this time the main thing is to see that you are moving in the right direction .. it's terribly scary, but you do it because your child and cat are in your car .. I I learned to ride terrible mountain serpentines, I learned not to show my emotions to anyone, no matter what happens in life. I have learned to do so many things 24/7 that I have never done before. I learned to sleep 3 hours a day and resigned myself to the idea that my rest would be after the Victory.
USEFUL TO US SURVIVAL EXPERIENCE I remembered all my mother's and grandmother's dishes from the economy series, I myself bake homemade bread and sweets for tea (because here abroad we are not used to other food), I learned to thank God for everything we have - for the warmth in the house, for light in the window, for life, for tasty and warm food, for the opportunity for my child to learn .. for the fact that we are still alive. And so every day... I am learning a foreign language. I gnaw on him, and she gnaws me 😁 so we learned to get used to each other. I learned to endure all possible and impossible inconveniences and difficulties. Because all the little things and complete nonsense. We have learned to start all work again from 0. When since the beginning of the war, many of us have been left without work (including me), starting from scratch and doing work on two levels is already almost the norm. And do not stop thoughts and projects that we will definitely restore everything at home. Not for the evil of our enemies (they will end anyway), but for our own good. We have learned to make our own little Ukrainian home even where there will be no Ukraine… but we are here and the farther we are from Ukraine, the more Ukraine is inside us. For now we all have the SAME VALUES - VICTORY, PEACE, LIFE and INDEPENDENCE (everyone in the world has already realized this). And one wish - If only the occupiers left our land forever, along with their main demon, and that our military defenders would return home alive.
Now we give up on we desires and at the same time we drive 50 km to the Ukrainian hairdresser to hold on, because Ukrainians are always self-possession and style. We are all living people and living in constant stress is possible, but very difficult. I'm not an exception. What have me learned? The 2nd year is already a psychologist himself. When it’s hard to “I can’t anymore” - you go to volunteer, and you say to yourself “while you feel sorry for yourself - somewhere who lost their relatives or home, and who got a disability, and who is looking for something to eat for their children” ... it immediately becomes easier and you go to work... War teaches everything that life has not yet taught.
And most importantly - believe! Believe in the Lord that he will not leave us face to face with the occupiers, believe in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, because they stand behind us like giants Titans, believe in strong people in Ukraine who, despite all the inconveniences, will not allow “treaties and a truce” with the enemy, and we go to victory all together. Believe in yourself and know that not a single evil spirit will lead us astray to our goal. Where others say "impossible" - Ukrainians silently do their job. I won’t tell you sooner than it needs to be, but we are preparing something important .. for everyone .. Later I will tell you everything in detail 😉 There have never been such "ends of the year" and, God willing, there will never be in the future. But still, we thank God for everything.
P.S. I also learned how to immediately leave the group, where the admin means “everyone” with a hashtag. P.P.S. I have not yet learned to restore the nervous system. Therefore, I ask St. Nicholas and Santa to immediately bring me two pieces of new nerves. We don't know what the new year has in store for us. But even Victory is also stress, only positive 😁 Everything will be Ukraine. I hug everyone … not saying goodbye 🙂 see you 😉
