We Always Adapt ... We Must

WE CAN ADAPT TO EVERYTHING

Time doesn't matter as much as it used to. I noticed that I have adapted to all the troubles and practically do not get upset, no matter what happens.

During the war, the psyche adapts to everything. There are already very few things and events that give some kind of emotion. So it is much easier to endure hardships, losses and even pain.

Another week of waiting and almost no important events in my life. Wait, that might be a very strong statement. Something did happen. However, for many, this is a routine and does not cause interest.

The day before yesterday my legal business officially ended. I took about closing my office. Yesterday I took out all my things and gave the keys to the landlord. It's been almost 3 months since I've been out of work as a lawyer. I am just a volunteer and my only useful occupation is to deliver humanitarian aid to birds in Kyiv. As long as we can't leave, that's the only thing I can do here.

I also reassure people, as many have already broken. They do not believe and do not see the future. We are told that the war will last for a long, very long time. So we need to get used to living in a war. We just need to accept it and live on, without happiness and joy. Joy and laughter are now banned.

I caught myself thinking that I began to control my emotions very well, not even control, but stop them. And even stop the emotions of others. Until recently, I complained that because of the hormones, Roxy became very aggressive, bites and screams a lot. There is no more of this. My fluffy princess is now very calm. In three days I was able to make her become perfect. She felt, understood that now is a different time and she can no longer be a capricious child. Now her walks are going smoothly. Yes, she can continue to gnaw on furniture 🙂 . I do not mind. I forbid biting me and screaming. She agreed and we have an idyll again.

On Roxy's condition:

Now everything is fine again. Her walks resumed. Her diet contains a lot of dandelions and greens. Roxy doesn't demand anything and spends a lot of time just playing with her toys.

About the situation in Kyiv:

finally it became warm, even hot. Today I have already seen people in T-shirts and shorts on the street. Everyone is used to shelling and sounds of alarm. Everyone is busy with their own affairs, although there are practically no such cases. However, greenery and bright sun significantly improve mood. Just being on the street and not in the basement is also important now.

Thank you all for the prayers and support. We will hold on and report our news. I send love and hope to everyone! XOXO

Best wishes,

Sergii & Roxy
