I have mentioned my stressful week on my last post, in fact, my brain and mind were completely blank because of stress and surroundings. I know everyone's life is different as well as problems, issues. I am not going to measure anything because my hollow mind was unstable and was seeking peace, mental satisfaction. I tried to talk to my dearest ones but doesn't seem any improvement so far. Maybe because of so many problems, my mind stuck and demanding a break from everything.
Somehow I felt alone in the crowd, suddenly I felt that this city is still unknown to me or maybe people. Another hot summer day, I felt not only thirsty but dizzy. Somehow I was looking for a known people but unfortunately, there was no one.
I decided to sit on a bench in a public place. Isolated life really pissed me off, it's hard to inhale fresh air while wearing a mask. Somehow I feel prisoner but health comes first. I bought a drink for myself, Nah no coffee, iced lemonade. Here, in Kharkiv city, so many sitting arrangements are available in public places. People sit here, drink coffee, and do smoke. Some just sit with friends and eat ice cream or beer with friends.
I unmasked myself and started taking fresh air, hmm felt like kinda hot air but it's okay. Metro station was closer so many people were going in and coming out of the station. I felt like everyone is busy because it's Monday. Thank god, schools are closed due to summer vacation and COVID19.
I saw people, different types of people, black, white, and tan skin, different languages from different countries like India, Nigeria, and native people. I was trying to notice their facial expression, some looks very happy, some were talking on the phone and giggling continuously. One individual was shouting on the phone using ruski slangs (I know Russian slangs by the way). Some were coming from the superstore holding heavy grocery bags, some were taking rest sitting on the benches. I also noticed the flower shop owner was struggling with her flowers due to the hot weather, maybe she was trying to keep them fresh for the rest of the day.
One thing I have realized today, no matter what is happening inside these individuals, their expression is expressing something else. Obviously, you can notice the tension or financial crisis but still, everyone is fighting for the living.
I saw an old woman counting money while sitting on the bench. She was also counting coins and after counting she went to the medical store. She was almost 60 years old, an ordinary woman who lives a very budget simple life. Otherwise, she won't count so many coins for medicines.
No matter either your life is colorful or black and white, life is beautiful because of diversity.
