Julia (Kyiv). We live from bombing to bombing. From turning off the lights and heat to turning them on. In a constant daze, in the feeling that there is nothing left – no dreams, no desires. Concerned about loved ones. On a continuous groundhog day that has no end. Why do you think we have the resources to think of you as “righteous, not guilty”? You are not important to your fellow citizens, so why should you be important to us? Are you there? Great, I feel better. Are you ashamed? Don’t worry, it doesn’t matter at all, he’s not worth anything for a long time. Live the way you want, stop complaining. Live, damn it – you still have this chance.
