Alice, Mad Hatter's Daughter 2
(Continuation. Please see the texts of the earliest images of this series – my “letters from the other side”).
I answered to blinkybot38 and than decided that this answer could be the next letter. Also I want to show you this whole series without much delay, 1 photo a day. That’s sort of experiment from my side. I’d do it even faster, but this series is important to me and I want to share it as wide as I could, and there’s a lot of groups that wouldn’t let you. I already experimented with uploading photos just at the photostream (one even was in explore, thank you so much, Flickr!), I thought that I could share them later, but I didn’t. Seems that it doesn't work that way. So, that’s the letter for everybody who cares: Hope dies hard, and the place inside the system could give you some priceless advantages. Especially when there's a lot of people outside and inside it. Also we there, inside, already gained our own freedom. We could do practically everything we want. We aren't criminals after all. Just ordinary free people, artists and so on. Maybe that's one of the reasons of this nightmare situation. You could live your good and free life inside the system which isn't people-friendly, you just couldn't change the system not by the hard way (Russia wasn't democracy, the state just pretended to be and even that is over). And only when such system goes nuts, your good life is over. But then your hopes are growing as well: they are alien after all and without them is much, much better. I hope that all together we could get rid of them completely. Though I still don't know how exactly and how long could it take. Considering that we began 20 and something years ago and many of us, Russians, tried hard. Or we did it forever?
