Not long ago I’ve realized that I ignore sirens when I asleep

Not long ago I've realized that I ignore sirens when I asleep

Natalia, Kyiv:

They call us indomitable people, but the sky is still open. It means we are good, but alone and all forlorn in front of russian aggression. They will write books about us, shoot films and concern forever

Natalia, Kyiv:

My Google calendar reminds me that I have a pair with a group of FGN in 5 minutes.

Tatyana, near Lviv:

Hello, my night was calm, yesterday a had a rest day, I a little caught a cold but in general everything is ok in Lviv oblast but not in my soul. This night I have written a rhyme about war, and I am going to edit and post on Facebook it today.

Victoria, Kyiv:

My today’s night was quiet. I’ve slept almost 10 hours, from time to time waking up and checking my phone. Do I feel guilty for it? For sure. I wish all the people in Ukraine had this long sleep, because many of them are much more physically and mentally exhausted than I.

Julia, Ukraine:

I spent this night at home and not in the shelter. However, it is hard for me to sleep peacefully now, because there are sirens from time to time in my city. 

I also want to share one thing! I was really focused on the news, and it brought me so much anxiety, so I decided to do something that will help me to distract. I downloaded Duolingo and started learning a bit of Japanese. I must say that this really works! I have to think and remember completely new things, and this makes me forget about bad news and anxiety for a while.

Marina, Kyiv:

Not long ago I’ve realized that I ignore sirens when I asleep. Simply don’t hear them. I’d be quite problematic, if we didn’t stay at our basement every night. I think I can sleep through the entire war…

Maria, Kyiv:

Today, before waking from the siren, I had a dream.  A huge atomic bomb fell on Kyiv in it.  However, no one was afraid, I can compare it with the semi-ironic atmosphere of the film Dr. Strangelove: Or How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb by Stanley Kubrick. In the end of a dream, the bomb exploded and fill everything with blue paint.

Valeria, Kyiv:

I spent this night in the shelter, ’cause my mum is alarmist. So she made us go there, although we didn’t want it. My sister and I tried to argue with her, but we saw some news (luckily, that was fake) and agreed for this night. Fortunately, night was quite, at least we didn’t here anything. Now, we are at home and I’m stroking my cat)))
