Visited an exhibition today.
Everything spoke about the same thing:
transformation through tension.

The path hurts, but it reshapes you.

Still alive. Still building.

But right now, I can’t imagine myself without one.
It’s ritual. It’s armor.
It’s the thing I grab when everything else slips.

Q: What do you keep doing—even though you know it’s hurting you?
A: I drink energy drinks.
They don’t even give me energy.
It’s not a grown woman’s drink.
It’s not a coping strategy.
It’s not smart.

One second I blinked—
And there it was: a blade, buried in my finger.
I honestly don’t remember how.
But the scar never lets me forget.

Q: Which part of your body became a symbol of survival?
A: The pinky on my left hand.
The only physical mark from a moment of unconscious self-harm.

A: There’s no magic. No secret formula.
I just keep going.
And when it feels like pure quicksand—
I still keep going.
There’s no reason. No excuse.
Not to.

Q: What do you do to keep going when you feel empty inside?

A: When things get really bad, I ground myself through stability.
And for me, there’s nothing more stable than eating the same dish for every meal.
I don’t think it’s exactly healthy—but it’s what keeps me standing.

Q: What do you do when it’s unbearable—even though you know it’s hurting you?

Anastasia Sotnichenko @sotnichenko.bsky.social · Aug 7

A: A physical scream.
We’ve already talked about it with my therapist—
screaming is something I’m not ready for yet.
Because I know it won’t be just loud.
It’ll be destructive.

Q: What do you keep inside because you’re afraid—if you let it out, you won’t be able to stop?

A: I say I know how to be alone. But if I’m honest—I just haven’t met someone whose “I’m here” sounds like truth, not a threat.
I’m not looking for a savior.
I’m waiting for a match.

Q: What truth about you is so uncomfortable—it’s easier to turn it into philosophy?

To be honest, it scares me how fast the weeks are flying by. Like. Super fast. Sometimes I feel like it's so fast that maybe I should postpone the launch to 2027.

Just thought of a joke while waiting for the tape:
The school director heard my degree was in computer graphics.
He caught the word designer —
and figured I must know how to paint walls.
I mean… I do.
But that’s not exactly what I studied in college.

Anastasia Sotnichenko @sotnichenko.bsky.social · Aug 6

If you’ve ever wondered what a school’s IT specialist does…
You’re welcome.
We paint walls now.
⠀
Just labor.
No code. Just coverage.
And still—somehow—debugging the system.

How I refuse to play “nice” when I don’t feel it — even if that’s what’s expected.
⠀
Society likes soft women.
But I’m sharp.
And real.

Q: What do you love about yourself—even though society disapproves?

A: My coldness.
The way I can shut down and move forward without asking for permission.
How I choose to be ruthless with myself — but honest.

It’s not a crisis. It’s not a cry for help.
It’s just… there.
Like background music I never chose, but can't turn off.

Q: What desire haunts you like an obsession?
A: The desire to die.
It follows me—no matter what state I’m in.
Even on medication.
Even when things are okay.

He got the credit.
I got the sleepless nights.
That was the last time I let anyone stand in my light.
