Childhood

Yeah, this summer has been really tough emotionally. I guess the only time it was worse was two years ago in detention center.

Honestly say I'm surprised that I'm not lying in apathy and depression whole days now. That means the pills I'm taking are working well!

In an attempt to escape from surrounding and personal problems, I immersed myself in work to the max. First I work my job, and then I work on my projects - on weekends, on days off, on holidays. I find it interesting and this is how I rest. And this is not typical of me at all, because all my life I've been quite lazy and mostly spent time on games, TV shows, movies, and YouTube videos. I can't say whether this is good or bad, but over time I've increasingly started to withdraw into myself and feel that I'm losing myself with the very same thing.

But today my relatives just did a wonderful thing - they scanned photographs from my childhood. And this touched me quite a bit. So I'm SHARING.

Before we got a computer in our family (around 2001), I was simply OBSESSED with Lego. How I loved Bionicle and Lego Technic!

We also had pet rats!

But in general, the hardest thing in my situation is the complete (temporary) lack of ability to see my relatives. This is indeed hard, but I can't leave the USA yet, and I can't even come to Russia at all, and the situation with visas to the USA right now is very tense. But I believe that some time will pass and we'll see each other again!
