Warning: I'll Vent Here

A drawing that I made on the 3rd anniversary of the full-scale war in Ukraine. This was inspired by the song "Snooze" by wotaku.

The translation on the drawing: "It's not that simple", "we don't know the truth", "setting free" (those words were said by the russian government and its people about the war). The third picture has a large red text: "FUCK YOU" (or "Go to hell")

Warning: I'll vent here

I need to say something that I really wanted for a while: I really wish it was all just a nightmare, that I would wake up, and there's no war, and I'm safe at home. But the reality is different.

I remember when I was little, I saw the news about Euromaidan and the annexation of Crimea in 2014. Even after asking my dad for an explanation, I still didn't get it. But when I realized – I decided to ignore it. "I'm not into politics" – I thought if I'm not gonna involve myself in here, it would not affect me in any way. But it's not. It did affect me and many other people.

I remember waking up at (almost) 5AM by a message from my classmate about how we are probably not going to school today. Because of russia invading Ukraine. At first, I thought that it was just a misunderstanding, that it would end quickly. But later I wanted to scream, I couldn't understand why it had to be that way, WHY THE FUCK WE CAN'T LIVE PEACEFULLY???

Of course, I don't want to sound like I feel so bad, the worst of all in this world. My town is not under occupation, my home is not destroyed, I fled abroad with my family to safety. And I can't fully imagine all the horrors that happen at the front...

From time to time, I had the thought that if I hadn't closed my eyes earlier, if I didn't try to ignore it, maybe something would have changed? But at the same time, I know that it's no use thinking about "what if..."

And I'm also so done that despite what russia's doing, some people are still distributed songs, games, comics, etc. And when you tell them WHY you shouldn't do that, they say: "it's just a song/comic/game/drawing 🙄😒", "AnD thErE aRe gOod peOplE in rUsSia too" – OH MY FUCKING GOD AAAAAAAA 😭😭😭 YOU LITERALLY GIVE THEM MONEY SO THAT THEY CAN KILL US.

And what also pisses me off is when people say: "We're little people, we can't do anything 🥺" NO. YOU CAN. YOUR ACTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES, AND THEY MATTER. YOUR "little" ACTION CAN TURN INTO A "BIG" ONE.

And last, but not least... HOW THE FUCK IT IS OUR FAULT THAT RUSSIA ATTACKED US??? (Yeah, I'm looking at YOU Trump. You piece of shit) ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?! AAAAAAAAAAAA

... But despite that, I still don't want to lose hope. I want to move forward and return to my home, Ukraine. Where it's free and safe. I don't want to give up.

Fuck you, putin. I hope you die.

Thank you for reading this, I hope it was not too overdramatic. If you don't agree with me – please, just unfollow me. I'm not here to force you to change your mind. I've shared my point of view, but the decision what to do is up to you.
