I’m Anna, 29, an artist and animator from Kyiv, a loving mom and a woman who still believes in real love and deep connection.

There's this whole philosophy now that you should never need anyone.

They said it kindly, which somehow made it worse. 😔

Not from a recipe. From watching her hands. From understanding that bread is simple

Everyone acts like being alone is either this beautiful, empowering thing—"treat yourself," "you don't need anyone,"

people who say one thing and live another way. 😤

Where I come from, we're taught to take care of ourselves—not out of vanity, but out of respect.

It's about envy, and how I'm supposed to deal with it as someone who tries to live according to faith. 💔

I grew up in a house where things had their place. You cleaned, you organized, you maintained what you had. Simple.

Like, I know I should understand finances better, but everyone talks about it in this confident way and I'm just here wondering if I'm doing things completely wrong.

I'm not in a hurry anymore. And that's exactly why December suits me.

Everyone has a story. Everyone has a reason. "I was tired." "I had a bad day." "I didn't mean to."

I've been reflecting on my role as a woman, and specifically on how I show up in my family.

In a world that says success equals wealth and status, my faith whispers: poverty of spirit might be richer. In a world that says strength means dominance, Christ shows us strength in vulnerability.

Like, when someone hurts you, everyone tells you to forgive them, but nobody explains what that actually means or how you're supposed to do it 😕

Task: Survive among Kutia and Kolyadniki🎄

In recent years, blueberries have transformed from an "exotic berry" into a full-fledged commercial product. Demand is growing, prices remain high, and more and more people are wondering: can they make money by planting blueberries in their own garden? Let's look at some real figures.

The question is no longer one of fashion or ecology. It's one of reality and economics. Electric cars are actively promoted, but does this mean the end of the internal combustion engine? The facts say no. At least, not in the foreseeable future.

Until recently, the answer seemed obvious: everyone was heading to the big cities. Work, career, pace of life, opportunities - megacities were a magnet. But today, this picture is beginning to change.
