For me, the first day of spring in 2022 was much different than all previous ones.
Undoubtedly, you know why, my Dear Friend, the first day of spring in 2022 was unusual for me. It was because of the war in Ukraine. I could not fully enjoy and focus on my passion when I knew that Ukrainians were being bombarded by the fucking Putin’s army. I frequently felt that it should have been the reason to stop doing street photography. Still, I did not stop taking pictures on Warsaw’s streets. I have already written that the Ukraine war only strengthened my belief that street photography makes sense. I am still donating to the Polish charity companies that help Ukrainian refugees. The truth is that I even became an internet troll who sent SMS to usual Russians with the information about the war. No one needs this war except Putin.
I wrote this text on the 21st of March, 2022. It was a sunny day in Warsaw.
The sky was clear, without any clouds. From the bottom of my heart, I wished Ukrainians the same, clear sky without the Russian orcs, planes, and rockets. During that day, I saw movies from the Ukrainian city named Kherson, where the Russian troops fired at ordinary, unarmed people. I won’t understand why the fucking Putin attacked Ukraine the same way I never understood why Hitler attacked Poland on the 1st of September, 1939. How come such stupid people have public support in their countries. I won’t understand why one man has so much power that he can decide whether to bombard other peoples’ houses.
I think I’m dumb.
Perhaps, I could sing along with Kurt Cobain according to Nirvana’s song entitled „Dumb.” Undoubtedly, I am naive in terms of politics. As you see, my Dear Friend, the first day of spring in 2022 had passed in thinking about war. I hope that Ukrainians will win this conflict.
