Name: Mr. Fox


Age: 30-something

I mostly post about:
Fragments of life, memory, war, and the strange feeling of trying to remain human while the world changes around you.

I write honest personal entries about life in Ukraine during wartime not as news reports, but as lived emotions. Memories of peaceful years, quiet evenings by the sea, conversations, fears, hope, exhaustion, music on empty streets, radio signals in the night, thoughts about humanity, loneliness, survival, and the fragile beauty that still somehow exists beside all of this.

Before the war, my life was deeply connected with the sea, travel, ships, people from different countries, and long roads between places. Some of those stories still appear here too.

This journal was reborn after a long silence. Every entry is published both in English and in its original language. I also share my own photography : small visual fragments of different periods of my life, usually connected to the mood of a specific post.

If I had to describe this journal simply:
these are probably letters from a person trying not to lose himself completely.

My hobbies are:
Photography (almost professionally), lomography and everyday street photography, music (acoustic, post-rock, instrumental covers, atmospheric music), psychology, radio communication, history, classical literature, travel, long night walks, and collecting strange little moments that most people pass by without noticing.

I love meaningful conversations and people who still know how to feel deeply.

My fandoms are:
Not really fandom-oriented.

But I love thoughtful writing, old internet culture, personal blogs, atmospheric media, documentaries, literature, music, photography, and people with their own inner worlds.

I'm looking to meet people who:
...feel something when they read my words.

Kind people. Thoughtful people. Quiet observers. Those who still value sincerity on the internet.

You absolutely do not have to share my experiences to understand the emotions behind them.

I’m open to meeting people from different countries and backgrounds — as long as empathy still exists in them.

(And yes, one exception remains:
I do not welcome people who support or justify the war.)

My posting schedule tends to be:
Usually several times a week.
Sometimes more often when thoughts become too loud to keep inside.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are:
Cruelty, dehumanization, propaganda, or people who completely lost the ability to empathize with others.

Otherwise, I prefer discovering people naturally through conversation and writing.

Before adding me, you should know:
I’m Ukrainian.
And I think that inevitably shapes many things I write now.

Still, this journal is not built around politics alone.
It is about trying to preserve memory, humanity, warmth, irony, curiosity, and the ability to notice beauty even during difficult times.

Welcome aboard.
These are still my messages in a bottle.
