Hello! I want to tell you a little about life in Belarus now. I think you are aware of our political situation now.
People in my country are fighting the regime that our president built during his 26 years of rule! You can read the very reason on the Internet.
For the past two months we have lived in fear. We go to j@il for literally everything! Every Sunday thousands of people gather in the street and protest! I go too. Unfortunately, I don't say much about this because it is dangerous. At any moment police can come to my house and take me away because I do not agree with the state ideology🙊
So that you understand the whole absurdity, every weekend in our country they turn off the Internet so that people cannot get together. Almost all journalists have been deprived of their accreditation and almost all of them are in j@il. Almost everyone is in prison and is constantly abused! from children to old people. They beat us with truncheons almost to death.
🚓 Every weekend I run from police and water cannons. Sometimes you can hear shots and explosions of grenades. Very often I cannot access the Internet due to its disconnection. A lot of people are listed as missing.
You can just walk home from the store, and police car will drive up to you and take you to j@il. So when people see the police they just run away. Many are fired from their jobs simply for their civil position. Many are fleeing the country 😞
I hope that soon it will end and we will live in a free and democratic country :)
❓Do you agree with the ideology of your state? Do you feel free?
I devote a lot of time to how I look, (in terms of clothes) I choose my outfit for a very long time. I have very few things, I am constantly combining them. I have 3 shirts, 3 hoodies, 3 pairs of pants, some black and some white T-shirts in my wardrobe.
In addition to all this, I really love order, everywhere, in everything, I am a perfectionist. My tableware are arranged by size and color, my T-shirts are also arranged by color, so are my shoes.
My desktop is empty on my computer, and everything on my phone is organized into folders. I always clean my inbox and personal correspondence, not because I hide something, but because I hate seeing a mess. I love that everything is clean, in all shelves, in all closets. My paint cans are also in arranged by colors and sizes.
And in my fridge, each product is on its own shelf, and if someone breaks this harmony in my space, they can very much regret it! Only I myself can breaks it 😂
👋🏽Guys, hello everyone. I'm here. Yesterday, due to the fact that the police again used vi0lence towards the protesters, pensioners came out to protest, hoping that the police would not touch them. But you will not believe, they threw stun gren@des and gas directly into the crowd of pensioners who had only flowers in their hands !!!
Therefore, today the whole country and I also went out again to support our grandparents, so I could not appear here. Now I am so tired and I want to sleep 😪😴
❤️I hope your day went much better :)
❓What would you like, what would I tell you tomorrow? Any ideas?
Well, I'll tell you a little about my painting life. ✍🏼
I have always loved to draw, since childho0d, and all my life I have been in search of my own style. In elementary school, I attended drawing courses for childrEn, I like it. And when I was very little, I really liked to draw household items such as a vacuum cleaner or a washing machine 😂 it probably sounds strange, but I can show you my children'S drawings somehow if you want?
My grandparents worked at the “Belarus Film studio” and very often I came to their work and saw how cartoons were created, so as a childd I liked to draw cartoons, probably like all children :)
Sometimes, when my grandma sat in a chair and watched TV, I sat on the floor with a sheet of paper and a pencil and painted her portrait. I also remember that we had a hand-painted plate hanging in our kitchen, flowers were depicted on it and I loved to draw them while my grandma was preparing dinner ❤️
When I got older (12-13 years old) I like graffiti style and i tried to paint on the walls and on paper, but for some reason I soon gave up drawing for a long time...
To be continued...
P:S Give me your ❤️ Please, if you interested my life story about drawing 🥰
PP:S By the way, how do you like my new panties? 😂
I not painted for a very long time. When I was 18 years old, I met a guy who drew and wanted to start tattooing. He introduced me to his company. And we started spending a lot of time in tattoo studios.
Due to the fact that I was constantly in this environment, I started painting again. I Tried different styles, but I didn't succeed 😔 I understood that I wanted something else. I understood that it was not mine. One day, I found a pen for calligraphy and ink, and decided to try writing calligraphy. It didn't work very well.
To do calligraphy you need good, special tools that were not sold in my country. I decided to take a calligraphy course to learn more about it. As it turned out, the courses in my country were also not very good, so I didn't get any experience from this.
Then I began to learn how to write calligraphy on the Internet, using videos from YouTube. I figured out the instruments and ordered them from Russia. I wrote up tons of paper, I think 🤔 I spent many hours at my desk. But I didn't get the desired result. I felt the ups and downs, my desire to paint swayed like a swing🤪
And one day my mom paid me an online calligraphy course. It’s was a present for me ❤️ 📜They sent me homework videos by mail and I did them. They talked in detail about the tool, about paper and many life-hacks for calligraphy. It was a very good calligraphy course. I felt my drawing level was increasing and I began to sign postcards, write letters, and rewrite poetry with pen and ink 📚
And so, I began to channel all my energy into calligraphy. Later I learned about a style like calligraffiti. This is the same calligraphy using a wide brush, more like Arabic calligraphy. I liked it and I settled on this style.
Anyone familiar with my art knows that I love space, and at some point in my life I woke up and realized that I wanted to try something similar. I painted nebulae, starry sky, camets, and planets. Then I decided to combine two styles of space and calligraffiti. But again, I didn't get any satisfaction from my work. I knew for sure that I would find my own style and myself in this, you need to be patient a little.
👩🏼🎨 The most important thing in my art is colors. I always focus on color. Through color I convey my mood, my emotional state and experience. The color in my works speaks about everything that I can experience at this moment. I love mixing colors. And I started doing it using the fluid art technique. If you only knew how many damaged canvases and nerves are on my room 😂 Of course, nothing worked for me, everything was not right. And I dropped it again for a year. While I was not drawing, I studied techniques on the Internet, watched videos, and did some work as an experiment.
📝 And then one day I found the perfect formula for myself, the perfect style. I remember this day and this work. I was so happy and so proud of myself. I rarely like my work. But now I am enjoying the process, I am so passionate about it. Of course, I don't always succeed and I'm nervous, but it doesn't matter. I've come a long way. And I finally found myself. And I am extremely grateful to all of you for supporting me and showing interest in my art. After all, this is all that I have. ❤️
There will be a student protest all over my country today. All students will take to the streets and demand the fulfillment of our conditions. Therefore, today there will be trouble with the Internet again. The authorities turn off the Internet so that people cannot get together, so that would not be able to follow what is happening.
Tomorrow there will be a Sunday protest (it happens every Sunday). All people will go out and demand the fulfillment of our conditions. There will be many detentions again 😔 Again the police will use force😡 but this is nothing. We are not afraid! We will go out to the last and will fight for our freedom and democracy! I'll be careful 🙂
See you on Monday. Have a great weekend everyone! 🤍❤️🤍
Have you ever faced a mental health problem? How do you feel about psychologists / psychiatrists?
Many of you with whom I have been in contact for a long time know that I have had mental health problems. I was depressed for 5 years. I went to the doctor for a long time.
💔 Once I had a breakdown. I went to the store to buy canvases before painting, and woke up on a bus in another city, and did not remember at all how it happened. I shared this with my friend, and for the sake of safety I moved to live with her for some time. I felt very bad then. I was constantly sad, nothing made me happy. It seemed to me that my life no longer makes sense.
📿I attempted suicide. I remember how I tied a rope around my neck and jumped off the chair. I don't remember anything further. I woke up on the bed, they beat me in the face,that i to wake up. I remember that there were thoughts in my head, but I don't remember which ones. It was like a drug bad trip.
🚑After that I was admitted to a psychiatric hospital, I stayed there for a month. After that I am still being treated by doctors. Now a year has passed and I feel good. I stopped taking pills a year ago. Because I thought they weren't helping me. I took up meditation and spiritual development. I think it helped me. At the same time, I went to a psychologist. And I still go to a psychiatrist once a month for an examination.
I am very glad that now I feel good. If you have something like this. Then don't be afraid to talk about it. I would like to support you and say that you can get out of this. This can be overcome. Just trust the world around you. If you really want to get rid of depression, then you will succeed. The universe will definitely hear you and give you strength. If you are sad now, I want to hug you ❤️
This morning I was at the funeral (my uncle died), I'm fine. But I was a little depressed by this atmosphere 😔
Then I went to protests. Sunday as usual. I just returned home. The police shot people again. How I hate them! I have a very bad headache, I have already taken two pills 🤯
How was your day? Write me in DM or in the comments here, what would you like to hear the story about? What story can I tell you? ❤️
Many have asked how I got depressed. What happened.?
I have always been a cheerful person, I had many friends, I wanted to go to a theater college. I loved performing on stage and was always very sociable. But one day I met a guy. Hahah yeah, my depression was because of love.
My boyfriend was a very rude person. He often offended me, pointed out my shortcomings (which I did not know about before). He told me bad things. Sometimes he was kind and then I was happy. But more often he was very rude. He mocked me morally. And I have changed a lot. I cried constantly, I was on my nerves. He often cheated on me. I could not leave him because I was very y0ung and very in love. He was good at manipulating. Only after a while I realized that I was in an addicted relationship. Have you heard such a term? I felt very bad in this relationship, I slowly killed myself. But i could not leave. In addition, I had problems in my family (but I don’t want to talk about that). This also affected my condition. This guy was constantly breaking up with me, yelling at me, he was very rude.
We've been in a relationship for 5 years. And he left me this time for good. I was very depressed. There was so much resentment in me. I was going crazy. I climbed the walls in pain and despair.
After I coped with depression, after a while, I began to understand that he was innocent. During this period of my life, there was a turning point for me as a person. And I am also grateful to him for that. He did a lot of good things for me. You just start to understand it only after a while.
We met after a long time and he asked for forgiveness from me for the fact that he did act not beautifully with me and deceived me. He even wanted to start all over again, but I did not agree. At that time, I did a great job on myself and did not want to go back there.
I learned a lesson from all this. Everything that is not done is done for the better. And after a while you understand it. No matter how hard it is for you now, you need just to look back and understand that everything is passing! 💪🏼❤️
It was a little star on my finger. I remember of how I persuaded my mother for a very long time, that she say yes to me 😂 Through screams, snot and tears, she allowed me.
On the Internet, I found a tattoo artist who did tattoos at home. Then I still did not understand anything, and I really wanted to do it. I did not understand that everything should be sterile and that all conditions for a tattoo should be met.
Oh, how stupid I was. I think everyone goes through this.
Sometimes it’s so great to look back and remember how carefree you were, and it seemed like your whole life was ahead. At now I have my whole life ahead too, but time goes by so quickly ... 😱
Therefore, I never think about how I will look in old age with my tattoos. I can die at any moment. Life is too short to think about it. So now I want to get tattoos and I will do them. I'd rather regret later that I made them than vice versa ☺️
❓Do you have tattoos? Do you remember your first tattoo?
🍓Soon I will be able to get to Moscow, and I will do two, or maybe three new sets for SG😋 Because of the coronavirus, it is now very difficult to leave the country. But I got the opportunity to go from one business campaign.
🍑Also, I make calendars for 2021. I make them myself, each will be signed by hand, with wishes for each month. I really wanted to do something nice for you 🥰 I hope you enjoy it. Tomorrow I will find out about printing, and I hope they will be ready next week and I can make an announcement ❤️
Our president is crazy. Yesterday he closed the borders and does not even allow Belarusians to enter Belarus 😱 They stand at the borders and do not know what to do. He also gave the order to collect all volunteers from ordinary people, distribute weapons to them, and allow them to shoot the protesters. 😰
You have no idea how scared I am. I’m under constant stress because of this. I try to distract myself and do something, but sometimes it's hard. Why are people so cruel?
I want to get out of here. I want to move to Poland. But now I can't, because the borders are closed. And now I am collecting money for the move.
💰 My OF subscription will always be cheap, I will not put an expensive subscription and I will be grateful if you stay with me and support me 🙏🏽Thanks to everyone who is here. I cannot give you much more. But I'll try to make it interesting for you. That we would recognize each other. Nowhere else do I do this kind of content. And I always worry about what to tell you. Your feedback is very important. I only do this because - YOU! If you will not be there will be no these photos and posts. Each of you is a part of it all. Every comment and every like is very important ❤️
❗️ You can also support me by purchasing my art, T-shirts, calendars and everything that I do. I do everything myself : designs and ideas. You can also offer your ideas, I will be grateful if you participate in this 😊
🗣 I remember a story from my childhood when my parents sent me to a children's camp. The camp was with tents by the lake. I didn't want to be there so much that I decided to go on strike. I didn’t go to eat, refused to participate in events and constantly sat in a tent. Refused to communicate with other children. I spent one of the nights by the fire, refused to go to bed in protest. One day the girls from my tent came and started asking me why I didn't communicate with anyone. I explained to them that I did not want to be here. And they began to laugh and mock me that I was somehow not like that. We had a fight with one of the girls. 🙊 I kicked her in the chest and the ambulance took her. The camp leaders called my parents and asked to pick me up. I stayed there 4 days out of 30 😂
In general, in childhood and school, I often fought. I can't even say how many times.

I think foot fetish is the most common. What do you like best about it? Stockings? Footwear? Bare feet, smell, heels, open shoes, socks? What exactly attracts you to this?
I did not notice any fetishes in myself. 🤔 I do not have any particular body part or action that would evoke emotions in me so strongly. There are just things that I like, but they are the most common.
🌞Here is another warm moment that I remember from my childhood. I loved spending time with my grandmother in the village in the summer. I took my old bike and rode the sandy road aimlessly. I loved to travel to cemeteries and examine graves. I don't know why I did it. But I've always liked the riddle. I loved to walk and think about all these people. What did they do, who they were. What they dreamed about. I was very sad to realize that they were no longer there.
⚰️ It's always so quiet in the cemetery. I still love cemeteries. when I travel to Europe I always visit places like this. Europe has very beautiful old cemeteries and crypts. I really like the atmosphere of calmness and mystery. It excites me and makes me think and reflect. It is very important. It is important to learn to understand yourself. I do not know why the cemetery, but I’m not scared there at all, but on the contrary it’s very calm.
🌎When I was in Budapest, I went to the «Kerepesi»cemetery. If you ever visit Hungary, be sure to visit this place. It is insanely beautiful and very old. I will attach a couple of photos that I took there. I wandered there in winter, it was cold. Instead of coffee, my glass had mulled wine. So I tried to keep warm 😂
🐥All my memories when I was in the village I remember with warmth. It was the best period in my life. I can safely say that I was happy then. I felt alive. I liked exploring this world ❤️
When I was 10 years old, in the same village I wrote about below I fled from that same cemetery🙈 The cemetery is located on a small hill. I ran with all my strength with my mouth open. I screamed something it ended up with a May beetle flying into my mouth. The last thing I remember is his tenacious paws wrapping around my tongue.
After that, I lay in bed for several days. My grandma called for me a doctor, he said that I had shock syndrome. My body was shaking for several days.
When everything was over, I could not look at the insects as before. I even became afraid of mosquitoes. Once when I was stung by a wasp, I fainted 😅
I'm even afraid of butterflies. For the last couple of years, I have been able to take a ladybug in my hand. This is a great achievement for me 😅 I'm afraid of the rest :)
Today I am packing my things. I'm leaving Moscow tomorrow. This trip was very productive. I shot a lot of footage, several sets.
I got acquainted with @shameless_sg . We did not know each other personally before, we talked for a long time on the Internet. I am very glad to finally mе€t her, she is very cool. I like that she knows what she wants from life. I love to communicate with such people.
I saw my mom. My mother is depressed now (because her brother (my uncle) died, if you remember I wrote that I was at the funeral) She was very worried. She is much better now 🙏🏽🙏🏽
I miss my cats very much. I'll come back tomorrow I will hug them 😅
I want to tell you a story about how I became a SG model.
Once I was working in a solarium and a guy came to us, he wanted to get a little tan before going to the sea. He began to ask me how best to proceed, how many minutes to take for the first time. So we got to talking. I found out that he has tattoos (it is better not to go to the solarium with tattoos), I began to explain to him, using my example, how to protect tattoos from ultraviolet radiation. And suddenly he said: – listen, you have such a beautiful appearance. Why don't you shoot for SG? I think you will succeed
I didn't understand what he was talking about. He explained to me and gave me the contacts of a one girl who could help me. It was Yana Sinner. Perhaps many of you know her. I didn't think for a long time, I wrote to her. She also answered me quickly. She asked me to send some photos and fill out a form. A couple of days later, I was already registered on the site. Yana sent me contacts of photographers with whom I could work (yes, I cannot work with any other photographer) and then I realized that I needed to be photographed naked 😱
To be continued...
LITTLE SPOILER — in the meantime, here are some photos from my new set. I think it will be just gorgeous. Hope you like it 🥰❤️
Continuation of the story of how I became a model. 🥸
When I realized that I needed to be naked, I thought I needed to tell my mom. My mom is a good internet user. Would not want it to be a surprise for her. 🤭 I was very worried, but to my surprise, she supported me and said that if I wanted to, she didn’t mind. She subscribed to me on Instagram and follows my sets 😁👍🏼 There are still people who send her my photos in private messages and say “look what your daughter is doing” 🤯 But this only makes my mother laugh and surprises me from the stupidity of some of people.
A month later, I went to Moscow (there are no photographers in our city who could take photographs for s). This is how I met Natalia Randle. A wonderful girl and it is a pleasure to work with her. ❤️ She told me some of the nuances of SG's work. You know, there are so many of them. For example, I don't like that there is a long queue. Now I have removed several sets that you will only see next year 😢 I really want to show them to you. After my set finally came out, I was really looking forward when they to buying it. After all, you do not receive the status of the SG immediately, but only after the first purchase of your kit.
I checked the site several times a day. I read all the comments, I counted every like. Can you imagine how important it is? 😱 How important you are to this! Without your support, I would not have been able to become an SG.
And now, 11 days after the release of the set, they bought it. I saw this message in my mail. I was so happy. I called all my friends and said "oh yes, I did it!" 😎 I felt a sense of a small victory. Is it a great feeling when you get what you want?
