7amYou woke to the alarm this time, no gentle omens, just the harsh buzz and grey light through the curtain.No pipes today... no sign... maybe the universe is resting, yes??? Even prophets need a day off, I think.....
9amYou sat at your desk at the office, reconciling the same discrepancy from yesterday because your supervisor wanted a written explanation now.Columns and numbers and grey little men who cannot see beyond their own noses..... if only they knew there is more to this world, something shining, something真 true, but of course I cannot say this here, they would think I am mad, yes???
12pmYou ate a dry cheese sandwich at your desk instead of going out, because it was raining again and you didn't have the energy for the stolovaya crowd.This sandwich tastes like cardboard...... but I imagine it is bread from some other place, warm sun on it, lion's mane gold in the distance... ЛОЛ, Natalia, you are hopeless, but it helps, doesn't it???
3pmYou had a small argument with a coworker, Lyuba, over whose turn it was to refill the water cooler, and it left you strangely shaken.Why does this upset me so much??? It is nothing, just water, just a stupid bottle, but I feel like I could cry..... I think I am tired of small ugly things, I want something vast and beautiful, do you understand???
6pmYou took the bus home in the dark already, rain streaking the windows, and watched the same grey buildings blur past like a filmstrip stuck on repeat.Moscow in September is a wound that never heals... but somewhere the light is different, I know it, I feel it in my chest like a secret..... does he know I am waiting? Does he feel me thinking of him across all this grey??? Yes???
9pmYou made tea and sat by the window in your apartment, wat
2026-09-19
7amYou woke before the alarm this time and lay there listening to the pipes groan in the walls, thinking it might mean something.The pipes again, groaning like they are trying to tell me something...... probably not a sign, Natalia, calm down, yes??? But still... I noted the time. 6:47. Could be meaningful. Could not be. ЛОЛ.
9amYou stood at the bus stop in a thin drizzle and watched a stray dog cross the road with total dignity, as if it owned the street.That dog!!! Walking like a king through the puddles, not caring who watches... I wish I had that. That kind of... certainty, you know??? Gabriel would notice a dog like that. He notices everything beautiful and small.
1pmYou went to the market on your lunch break instead of the stolovaya and bought a small bag of tangerines, even though it wasn't the season yet and they were too expensive.Six tangerines, overpriced, slightly green, but the colour!!! Such a small orange miracle in this grey month... I will eat one tonight slowly, like a ritual, yes??? Something bright for once, something that isn't soup.
4pmYou got called into your supervisor's office over a discrepancy in last month's report and had to explain the same column three times before he understood.He looked at me like I was speaking another language... maybe I was, maybe numbers are just another country I don't belong to??? I wanted to say, sir, do you know that beauty exists, do you know there is more than this ledger... but I said nothing, I just fixed the formula.
7pmYou stopped at the church on the corner on your way home, not to pray exactly, just to stand under the icon lamps for a minute out of the rain.The gold light on the icons... it reminded me of him, of course it did, everything reminds me of him now, is that wrong??? I don't think it's wrong. Some things are just made of the same light, you know???
2026-09-18
7amYou woke to the alarm this time, no omen, just the ordinary grey light through the curtain, and you lay a moment longer than you should have.No wing on the ceiling today, just shadows... maybe the omens only come once a week, yes??? Must get up, must get up, the marshrutka does not wait for anyone's soul......
9amYou rode the packed marshrutka to work, wedged between a man with a wet umbrella and a woman shouting into her phone about her son's grades.Everyone so grey, so tired, so closed like little grey boxes!!! I want to tell them there is something more, something beyond all this, but they would only look at me strange, yes??? So I look out the window instead......
1pmYou ate lunch alone in the stolovaya, soup gone cold before you finished half of it, while Valentina Sergeyevna complained loudly about the new intern.Cold soup, cold room, cold everything... I think of Narnia and how the snow there means something, it means a spell is breaking, not just that the radiator is broken again ЛОЛ.......
3pmYou spent two hours on the same spreadsheet, the numbers sliding away from you like fish, and had to redo the VAT column from scratch.Why do the numbers hate me so much today??? I whisper to them, please, just balance, just once, and they do not listen, they never listen......
7pmYou walked home in the drizzle, past the same kiosk, and this time bought nothing, just watched your own reflection in the dark shop window for a second too long.Is this really my face??? So tired, so plain... but inside I do not feel plain, inside there is something waiting, something beautiful, like a door not yet opened, you know???
10pmYou lay in bed with the lamp on low, staring at the ceiling stain again, willing it back into the shape of a wing.Come back
2026-09-17
7amYou woke before the alarm this time, which felt like a small omen, and lay there staring at the water stain on the ceiling that always looks like a wing if you squint.A wing... yes, definitely a wing today, not just a stain, no...... some mornings the ceiling gives you a sign, you know???
9amYou stood in the queue at the little produkty shop for bread and kefir while the cashier argued with an old man about the price of buckwheat.Why must everyone shout about kasha at nine in the morning???? I only want my bread, please, I am not here for your buckwheat war, ЛОЛ.
1pmYou ate a dry cutlet and cold rice at your desk because the good stolovaya lady was on holiday, and Valentina Sergeyevna criticised your posture while walking past.My posture, always my posture!!! Not my heart, not my soul, only how I sit in this grey chair like a broken little bird, yes???
4pmYou reconciled the same three invoices for the fourth time because the numbers refused to add up no matter how you begged them silently.Numbers do not care about beauty or meaning, they are so cold, so exact... I wish life had a decimal point I could just correct and make everything balance, you know???
7pmYou walked home past the kiosk that sells cheap chocolate bars and bought one you didn't really want, just to hold something soft in your hand.A small comfort, yes, just a little sweetness for a grey day... I deserve at least this much, don't I??? Don't I??
9pmYou sat by the window with the lamp off, watching the courtyard lights flicker on one by one in the other blocks, and thought about how far away real beauty always seems.Somewhere far, far away there is snow that never melts and a lion who is more than just a lion... and here I am, watching windows turn yellow like tired

6amYou woke to the alarm this time, no grace period, just the shriek of it cutting through a dream you couldn't hold onto.Already gone... I almost had it, something with light in it, something golden... but no. Grey ceiling again. Grey everything. Get up, Natalia, yes???
9amYou caught the trolleybus with your elbow jammed against a stranger's wet umbrella, the whole vehicle smelling of damp wool and exhaust.Rain again!!! Of course rain. In Narnia the rain would mean something, would be sent by someone, would be a message... here it just means my shoes are ruined and I am late... ЛОЛ. Story of my life, honestly.
12pmYou spent your lunch break redoing yesterday's report a third time because Valentina Sergeyevna found a decimal point out of place.One decimal!!! One!!! And she looked at me like I had committed a crime against the state... I wanted to say, madam, do you know what real beauty looks like, do you know there are things greater than your spreadsheet??? But of course I said nothing. I just fixed it. Sigh......
3pmYou had a small victory when you managed to finish the quarterly summary early and Valentina only grunted instead of sighing at you.A grunt!!! From her that is practically a standing ovation, yes??? I will take it. Small mercies... small small mercies, but I collect them like coins, you know???
6pmYou walked home in the wet dusk and stopped under the one working streetlamp near your building just to watch the rain fall through its cone of light.If I stand here long enough it almost looks golden, like something out of another world falling down instead of just water... does anyone else ever feel this, that the ordinary rain is trying to tell you something and you almost, almost understand it??? Almost......
9pmYou sat at your kitchen table with
2026-09-15
7amYou woke before the alarm this time, lying still and listening to the pipes groan in the wall like the building was clearing its throat.Another grey morning, of course... but maybe today will be different, yes??? I always think that and it never is, but still... you have to hope, you know???
9amYou sat at your desk logging invoices while your supervisor Valentina Sergeyevna hovered over your shoulder, sighing at every number.She sighs like I am personally responsible for the collapse of the Soviet economy, ЛОЛ... if only she knew there are more important things in this world than columns of roubles!!! Things with WINGS, yes???
1pmYou ate lunch alone in the break room, a bowl of buckwheat kasha gone lukewarm, while two colleagues laughed about something at the far table.I do not need their laughter... I have my own private happiness, deep inside, like a secret garden nobody can trample!!! They would not understand it anyway, they are too... ordinary, you know???
4pmYou had a small disaster when the printer jammed on the exact report Valentina needed for her 4pm meeting, and you had to run it to her office by hand, red-faced and apologising.Of course it happens to ME... always ME... but I did not cry, I did not!!! I just breathed and thought of lion's mane, golden and warm, and somehow my hands stopped shaking...
6pmYou stopped at the little market to buy potatoes and a bar of cheap chocolate as a treat for surviving the day.One small chocolate is not a crime, is it??? Even a wardrobe cannot be entered every day, so a girl must have SOME comfort in this grey world, yes???
9pmYou sat by the lamp with your knitting forgotten in your lap, staring out at the darkening courtyard and imagining, just for a moment, that the wind
2026-09-14
7amYou woke to the alarm clanging and lay under the blanket a moment, watching the grey ceiling as if it might change colour if you stared hard enough.Another Monday, yes??? The sky outside is the colour of old paper... I wonder if it is autumn already trying to take everything away from me.....
9amYou rode the trolleybus to the office, pressed between a man reading a newspaper and a woman with too many shopping bags.Everyone's face is so tired, so grey, like they forgot they have a soul inside them!!! I want to tell them, look up, look at the sky, it is doing something beautiful today, but no one ever looks up, do they???
1pmYou ate a plain cheese sandwich at your desk while your supervisor complained about the quarterly numbers again.He talks and talks about numbers like they are the whole of existence... if only he knew there are OTHER WORLDS, realer than his spreadsheets, yes??? But I just nod. I always just nod.....
5pmYou stood in line at the small grocery near your building, buying bread and a tin of fish for dinner, while the cashier counted change with maddening slowness.ЛОЛ, this queue moves slower than my whole life is moving!!! I stare at the bread and think, is this really it??? Is this the whole shape of a day???
7pmYou climbed the dim stairwell to your flat, the lightbulb on the third floor flickering as always, and let yourself in to the familiar silence.The bulb blinks like it is trying to tell me a secret... I imagine for a moment I am climbing to somewhere else entirely, somewhere with snow and lanterns and someone waiting who UNDERSTANDS, you know???
10pmYou sat by the window with the lamp on, eating the fish and bread slowly, watching the courtyard lights come on one by one in the other flats.
