Today, russian orcs were shelling civilians again. All these photos are from the news channels of my region. Nevertheless ... I heard almost nothing. It's not because it was quiet. It's just that after the occupation I can't sleep in silence. My tablet is working loudly all night. As soon as there is silence, I wake up. So, my windows were closed, the noise-cancelling curtains on the windows were drawn, and the sounds of the movie filled the whole space. I was just sleeping. The dogs, seeing that I was sleeping, also slept.
When in 2022 russian orcs constantly shelled my region so that my house bounced, something changed in my head. I'm used to sleeping to these sounds. I didn't have to go to the shelter just because I had nowhere to hide. At first, I tried to follow the two-wall rule. But then I spit on everything and started sleeping in my bedroom again. I've decided that if a Russian fascist missile comes to my house, I won't care, because I won't know about it anymore.
I think this is one of the main mistakes of the russians. They are trying to terrorise the civilian population in the hope of intimidating us. But they just know very little about the real war. When you're inside, you're not scared anymore. It's a paradox. When we watch disaster, horror or war movies, we think What a horror! But when your house is burned by explosions, your adrenaline is so high and you are so determined to survive that you feel anything but fear.
In the morning I heard a message signal from WhatsApp. I was surprised. This is my working messenger, but today is Sunday. It turns out that our boss checked whether we were all alive. Then I started scrolling through the news feed. My region has suffered quite badly. I wrote to my son-in-law and friends. Fortunately, all of them are alive and not injured. Was there anything unusual about this morning? This is not the first such shelling and certainly not the last. Every day, when I go to work in the morning, I can't be sure that I'll be back home. Every night I can't be sure that tomorrow will come. And yet. Nevertheless, we live a normal life. We work and volunteer. No one is going to recognise the power of russian maniacs.
