While my country recovers from yesterday’s attacks by the damned russia, I have a light, I can write and publish my thoughts on the site again.
While I was in a blackout, I managed to write two articles that will appear on the blog later, I need to find a photo for them, make a translation and finish it a little.
A real war is going on in Ukraine against a terrorist state. I was lucky, because not all Ukrainians have electricity now, even in the neighboring city there is still no mobile connection, no Internet, no electricity, no water. People survive, people hold on, they are indomitable, because they are Ukrainians.
This will be a short post, because I have to work on other, more meaningful materials for the site.

And I am writing these lines in order not to interrupt my writing marathon. Although I wasn’t able to publish a blog post yesterday, I will do two, or even three, if time permits. Yesterday I wrote a lot, thought a lot, even managed to read under a kerosene lamp.
My marathon continues. There hasn’t been a single day since the beginning of November that I haven’t written or created, every day I publish something here on the site, and I even write on other platforms, I made a blog on wordpress, a little on Twitter, a little on Facebook, I’m thinking about registering on other platforms.
For now, I am focusing on those works that I consider relevant, which I want, can speak, write, shout about.
Good news – my site is gradually starting to appear in search engines, people from 23 countries can already find me through Google.

I noticed that I use my time more efficiently, completely destroying matters that are not of great importance to me. I have never had such a level of concentration, desire to work and write in my life. And the most interesting thing is that I don’t care at all what will come of it.
I just do what I’m good at.
I turn my thoughts into words, words into sentences. What I want to say is born in the text, and later goes swimming free in the Internet ocean.
The difficulties that arise this year have done their job in such a way that I have turned from a great slothman into a powerful machine that seems to be unstoppable.
I feel that every day I am becoming stronger, more demanding of myself, more focused, more attentive, more resistant to obstacles.
The more difficult it is, the greater desire to do one’s work and act.
After yesterday’s blackout, I became even stronger and more resilient.
What kind of defeat can we talk about when this happens to ordinary Ukrainian people?
We will persevere and we will definitely win.
Because I want it that way.
Because I am – Ukraine.

And in addition, some fresh photos of Ukrainians from Shutterstock on the topic of blackout. Just supporting authors who continue do their work even under such conditions:
