good things list / june


(english version is available below)

в июне я в очередной раз убедилась в том, что идея писать ежемесячные списки хорошего по-прежнему актуальна и даже необходима. например, я закончила магистратуру в шведском университете, но при этом вообще не ощутила того, что произошло что-то большое. да, сама по себе магистратура значит не много, но если учесть, сколько времени и сил было потрачено на то, чтобы воплотить эту мечту в реальность и добиться поставленной цели, просто нечестно по отношению к себе же не сделать акцент на том, что это не просто завершение какого-то этапа, а достижение. и именно мышление через призму "что хорошего я сделала вчера/на прошлой неделе?" и "за что я благодарна здесь и сейчас?" помогло мне осознать, что сейчас как раз тот самый момент, когда нужно остановиться и подумать: "настя, ты - молодец".

дальше - больше! конец чего-то одного означает начало чего-то другого, но чего? на прошлой неделе я в очередной раз не могла уснуть и посреди ночи написала текст, который я на днях опубликую. в нем я очень открыто и прямо говорю о том, что сейчас у меня за период, и как я с ним справляюсь. внезапно оказалось, что вместо облегчения от наступившей свободы, меня охватил ужас. и автоматически все то, что так радовало, утратило на время свою ценность. я сидела у себя в комнате и не понимала, что я вообще делаю или почему не делаю ничего. и гулять по стокгольму совсем не хотелось, а если и хотелось, то в процессе было как-то совсем не в радость. и опять, мысли о том, что моя жизнь наполнена хорошим, и важно это все осознавать и ценить, помогли мне прийти в себя. в итоге я в очередной раз хочу сказать о том, что списки хорошего или списки благодарности - это тот формат, который со временем не только научит больше ценить то, что уже есть в твоей жизни, но и поможет справиться с непростыми периодами в жизни. проверено на себе!

in june, i had a chance to realize that writing good things lists is still relevant and helpful. for example, i graduated from a master`s program at a swedish university and i did not feel that something big happened. yes, the degree on its own does not matter that much, but if you think about the amount of time and energy that i spent in order to make this dream come true and achieve this goal, it is simply unfair towards myself to not celebrate. this is not just an end of a life period, this is an actual accomplishment. luckily, i got used to asking myself "what was good about yesterday or last week?" and "what am i grateful for right here right now?". thanks to these questions, i was able to realize that this was the moment when i had to stop and think: "well done".

moving on! the end of something means the beginning of something else, but what? last week i was struggling with sleeping again, so i wrote a text in the middle of the night. i will post it soon. in it i openly talk about the period of my life that i am currently in and how i am coping with it. out of a sudden, it turned out that instead of relief this freedom brought me terror. as a result, everything that used to bring me joy, lost its value. i stayed in my room and i could not understand what i was doing or why i was not doing anything at all. i did not want to explore stockholm and when i did, i did not enjoy it. and again, thoughts about the good stuff in my life helped me remind myself how many reasons i had to be grateful. consequently, i had an opportunity to once again prove to myself that writing good things lists or gratitude lists is a format that teaches you to appreciate what you have in life and also helps you deal with the challenging period of your life. i am telling you!

good things list / june


(english version is available below)

в плане эмоций стабильным июнь назвать нельзя. мне то казалось, что все здорово и я не могла нарадоваться всему происходящему внутри и снаружи, то складывалось впечатление, что все ужасно и сил больше нет. при этом было много работы, много текстов и много планов, а еще много маленьких радостей (ака хорошего), которые скрашивали плохие и без того хорошие дни.

reading report / june


(english version is available below)

изначально у меня было ощущение, что с чтением в июне не сложится. постоянно появлялись новые дела и что-то мешало отложить в сторону ноутбук с телефоном и взять в руки книгу. но потом я вернулась в обычное для меня состояние, когда книга настолько хороша, что прикладываешь усилия для того, чтобы закончить с делами поскорее, что-то необязательное откладываешь и читаешь, читаешь, читаешь.

pictures on film / part five


girls, girls, girls! 

a month ago i posted a previous part of pictures on film, which were all, by the way, taken on old overdue film, whereas today you can see the result taken on a new one. after getting back the results, i realized two things: i desperately need to get a camera without a flash, because i cannot control it now, so my camera makes its own choice, whether to use flash or not to; and that taking pictures with a lot of birds` shit on the background is far from the best...idea we have ever had. this set of pictures is quite special because you can see three very different girls i spent time with in june and july, as well as a bit of me. therefore, it is a girls issue of pictures on film, which is exciting. this summer has not been full of events in my life, but i have definitely been lucky to meet great people and enjoy all sorts of conversations and activities with them (mainly being in cafes, drinking coffee and eating food while talking non-top). some say that real life is much better than the one online, which is true, but believe me, internet can introduce you to those, whom you could have never ever met otherwise, and that would have been a huge loss. therefore, go meet people online and then - in real life! it is so much fun, even if you are a home weirdo, like me.

good things list / june


it has been two and a half weeks after my last post here on the blog. it is crazy, because i have been trying to post twice a week for about eight months now. sometimes it worked out, sometimes i only had one post a week, but i had it. it has recently become impossible. i had quite a month, which was full of extra work and i had almost zero free time. it was hard, really hard. by the way, i still kept on writing on medium, because it felt like a challenge i could not give up on, as i promised myself that i would post there every single day, and so i did, but i could not do the same here. even though a blog seems to be a very easy thing to, it takes time and effort, and i love it, but i could not find enough time an energy to keep on posting here. luckily, the busy month is over and i am back. i promise to write and post here twice a week (on mondays and thursdays) and hopefully you will enjoy it. also, i have one thing that i would like to ask you - let`s communicate more! i would love to know who you are and what you think, so feel free to share your thoughts, deal?

pictures on film / part four


YA-А-АY! i am extremely excited to finally be able to share with you a fresh portion of photos taken on film. it took me two months to finish two films, develop, scan and get them back. i would be happy to say that summer means more pictures and more posts, but i am afraid it is no my case this year. anyway i am doing my best. most pictures were taken in kiev, but a few of them are from dnipropetrovsk, my home town. there is a lot of nature, a couple of girls, who motivate and inspire me, as well as a few pictures of me. i really enjoy this whole process of film photography and i hope to take more pictures and to capture more special moments in the future.

first summer day


well, well, well! summer came the day before yesterday and i did not even notice. it is such an unusual feeling, but i do not care about its arrival anymore. why? because for the first time in many-many years it does not really mean anything. before, summer meant holidays and three months without school, afterwards it was all about having exams in june and then two months without university. however, now there is no change. i will just keep on working, which may sound sad, but i am excited, to be honest!

thirty first of may felt just like the first of june. i had no excitement or anticipation. i did not even think of it. i realized that it was summer already only because i was going to write about it. by the way, i am crazy and i am not only writing about summer here, but also doing a special post for the fashion crowd to follow up (my favourite editor and mentor) bette`s summer plans with my own. this is why i am not going to tell you that much here and i will make you follow the link to read a longer post there next week.
