To my children…

Image
My heart had sunk when I let you go… When it was time for you to build the life of your own…  Not because, I didn’t trust you… I was scared…  If I gave you the right tools to be happy…  VGM 

Talking…

Image
  Here is the problem with my people - we talk… give us a subject and we will talk nonstop…   Arestovich/Kashpirovsky, do you have another job, besides YouTube?  Zelensky, please... Turn to the people, who already left the country. Those, who adapt to the new circumstances fast are your great assets. Don’t let them reach the point of no return!  It’s time to stop being just the world’s beggar,… … and transform my country into the nation with new economic rules and internal military defense system! …not after the war!  Start today!  VGM  

Relationships...

Image
There are no relationships that don’t need work.... Even most perfect ones need work... And then the perfect relationships bore us too quickly...  I guess we need some level of challenge...  We are so different... We have so many things among us that drive others crazy... And the biggest mistake is trying to change one another...  We don’t change... People don’t change...  We like smart, sophisticated and independent people... people who take great care of themselves... Then , why are we trying to change them to fit our life goals?... Accomplished people always have their own goals and dreams, passions and desires...  How would you two make your goals merge together?...  People of high social and mental status don’t live someone else’s dreams... They don’t domesticate...   Concentrate on love... nothing else matters... VGM, 06/11/20

The Language…5. Compromise…

Image
The language has created a problem in Crimea and Ukraine...   Crimean don’t want to learn Ukrainian…) Pro Ukrainians believe everyone, living in Ukraine must communicate in Ukrainian…  Maybe we should look at Canadian experience of blending in English and French? … VGM

Secret…

Image
  You could   call me a manipulative b*…), if I only knew my secrets… But…   I follow my intuition, animal’s like, instincts, rudiments, well forgotten by humanity…  VGM

The Language… 4. Crimean Tatars…

Image
In the 70s and 80s the language in the little towns of central Crimea was… I would call it Ukrussian with a hint of the Tatar’s language blended in… My grandma educated me on the household differences…  There were homes with lots of half-naked kids running around and playing in the dirt, where the oldest kids were taking care of the youngest. The back yards had nothing, but weeds.  Some of the households kept a cow. Those were migrants from Russia, attracted by the warm climate and promise of a house… Ukrainian migrant’s yards were green with happy crops. Kids had daily chores of taking care of the house, livestock, garden, etc. The kids usually played outside in the afternoon once their chores were done. I remember helping my friend with her chores so we could play sooner… Tatars… My grandma had no faith in them. She used to teach me: "Never buy their farm produce when you grow up, because they fertilize crops with human urine"…  I believe the difference between Christian an

Irrelevant…

Image
People treat you the way they do, not because of who you are, but because of who they are…  So, the question “why” is irrelevant… VGM  

Yesterday…

Image
Yesterday, for the first time, in a long time, I thought, you moved on…  In the moment of my giving up, this very thought has touched your heart…  VGM  

A thought…

Image
Close your eyes… breathe…  Let all your thoughts go… that very secret thought… yes, let it go too…   Feel the stillness of time… Take it in... Here it is, the moment of true objectivity…  VGM

Procrastination…

Image
I am a conservative democrat.  I believe in political balance in my country.  While I voted for Biden, I am very disappointed in the  procrastination of his administration to support Ukraine.  It puts us in line with other war criminals like Putin.  The political games of world leaders makes us responsible for thousands of Ukrainian lives…  VGM
