🇺🇦 3 years of struggle and despair... 💔
7 months ago
I wrote a similar journal last year > https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10810579/ , really hoping it might be the last one, but... we're still here. It's been exactly 3 years since the Russians invaded Ukraine, and this shit is still going on, the life of me and my people is still in constant danger and grief.
And today specifically, all over my country, in all its corners, there were much more sirens and attacks than usual during this terrible day dedicated to this monstrous anniversary.
Most Ukrainians, including me, have felt completely abandoned and betrayed lately because of all these recent political games of some other countries that only delay peace, because of which people here continue to suffer and die.
And everyone else (I mean countries in general, not necessarily specific people) just acts like nothing happened in the first place, they've moved on and don't want to be reminded.
It can really make you feel helpless and disappointed with the world to the point where you almost don't want to live yourself anymore. Especially if you live all alone like me and have no one else around to worry about but yourself, as well as no one to rely on.
Speaking about me personally, it may seem from the outside that I'm calm, collected and decently happy since I'm able to draw these cute and funny pictures you can see in my gallery on the regular basis. And yes, I have somehow adapted to separate my feelings from my drawing process in an effort not to reduce the quality of my works no matter what, not to be dependent only on inspiration. This is my main source of income after all. Well, actually, most of the time I still struggle to start any art, but when I manage to start - I just do whatever work I have to finish kind of automatically, you know.
And outside of art, I can hardly call myself happy.
In reality, I have been depressed for a while and legit don't know what to do with it to help myself once and for all. I tried therapy a few months ago, but I quickly ran out of money for it and we barely got to the roots of the problems. Right now they just keep piling up, I guess. And no matter how hard I try to distract myself, this war serves as a constant reminder that shit is real.
So here it is, I don't know what to write in conclusion. I don't know why I wrote this in the first place. I guess I just wanted to make a reminder that me, my people and all our problems still exist.Tip Jar • Commission Info • Terms of Service
I’m really sorry all the nasty, horrible, things that the angry orange is spouting about your country… please know that not all Americans share his mindset and he does not speak for all of us. There are still PLENTY of people here that support Ukraine and pray for an end to this war. 💙🇺🇦💛
Please continue to take care of yourself. I can’t imagine what you are going through. But please know that we have not forgotten about you or Ukraine. There are still marches and protests happening here in the US to keep funding going to help Ukraine and to force Trump to not turn sides.
Putin is an evil man and he must be stopped. So many innocent lives are being lost because of his horrible and horrific actions.
Edit: to follow up, do you have any links to resources for people to donate to Ukraine and help keep funding coming in? I was considering running a YCH soon to try and help
Foundations, huh? I'd say this one is considered pretty decent: https://savelife.in.ua/en/ , since they have reports and are quite well known in our parts in general. During this war, many, many, many scammers have appeared, so it is always important to make sure that such sites have reporting.
that and give you my whole support Cathy, we stay with you and realy keep hope for the best >×< *hug tight* You're not alone
