Evening is always the time when you can be alone with your thoughts and think about something wonderful

Chernobyl is a place where time feels strange. It’s as if everything suddenly stopped: life was there and in an instant, it became less. The houses are standing, the roads are there, things are left, but there are no people.👁 And that’s what makes the biggest impression.🤩

Your phone is filled with hundreds of identical shots: food, a mirror, random screenshots, “memories” that you’ll never open again. We take photos of everything, but we almost never remember anything.☝🤔

Not in the sense of loud slogans or the fight “who owes whom something”. But in a human way. Because sometimes it seems that a woman has to prove something to someone all her life. To be a good daughter, a good wife, a good mother, to look good, to support, inspire, endure, be silent when necessary, and smile even when it’s hard.

I'm not talking about control. I want to be really clear about that, because the line matters to me. I'm not the woman who will hand you a list of approved friends and a curfew. That's not love — that's ownership, and it makes me tired just thinking about it 🙄

I used to think my mother did not understand me. When I was younger, she would tell me to slow down, to think before I acted, to stop giving my heart to people who had not earned it.

I used to think that the most romantic men are those who make loud gestures. But over time, I realized something interesting.

After a certain age, you start to look at love in a completely different way.

I have a theory. And the more I talk to men, the more I believe in it.

There is one thing that I have come to value much more than appearance or status.

I am 58 years old. And you know, with age I have understood one very simple but important thing: a real person can always be seen in the eyes.

My name is Kateryna. I am a designer of women's clothing, swimwear and underwear. But to be honest, for me it's not just a job. It's a part of me, my character and my way of looking at the world.

A few months ago, I could not have imagined that one day I would be standing among luxurious rare cars in the heart of London and representing a Ukrainian brand of women's trouser suits. Life really likes to surprise when you least expect it 💙💛

There are days when you wake up before the alarm clock - not because of the sun in the window, but because of anxiety in your heart. News, sirens, uncertainty, fatigue... And at the same time, small children's eyes that look at you with trust and wait for mom to make this day warm and safe again.

Not a man who's still becoming.

Vacation is a wonderful place, isn't it?

we've been living in wartime for so many years and I still can't accept that this is reality...😢😕

There's this assumption that floats around — that a young woman in the life of someone older is somehow just decorative. A pretty detail. Something light and temporary that passes through without really mattering. And every time I encounter that idea, something in me quietly pushes back.

There's this particular look. I've noticed it more than once, and once you recognize it, you can't unsee it. 💔
