From the author: The belief that your life will magically change tomorrow forces you to live for years in anticipation of a miracle, over time giving rise to disappointment and depression. Sometimes a whole life passes in a state of anticipation. “Tomorrow everything will be different for me. Tomorrow... Definitely tomorrow. You just need to live until that cherished Tomorrow...” The belief that your life will magically change makes you wait, makes you believe in a miracle, believe in a fairy tale. Sometimes a whole life passes in a state of anticipation. However, after Today comes another next day, and the next one, and the one after the next one... Nothing changes in your life. Mysterious and incomprehensible Tomorrow remains unknown and unexplored, alluring and melting in a thick fog of hopes. Over time, imperceptibly, but very confidently and irrevocably, your life acquires the bitter taste of depression and sticky disappointment with which you have to face old age or work in a psychotherapist’s office . People who cherished the hope that life would begin tomorrow, but were disappointed in the wait, are about 40 and older. These are men and women, tired, haggard. They come and expect that the psychotherapist will help them cross this insurmountable line for them. “... Anya sat and looked out the window. For many years she dreamed of a family, of children and of him. Dinner was getting cold, snowflakes were melting on the windowsill, tears were flowing down my cheeks. The silence was broken by the sound of clock hands. Loneliness and inner emptiness, like a black hole, absorbed thoughts and desires. This will take several hours. Anya already knew this. Their relationship lasted 12 long years. During this time, she studied her reactions. First she will wipe away her tears, then she will throw dinner in the trash and go to bed. And tomorrow... Oh, this alluring Tomorrow. Tomorrow everything will be different. Tomorrow he will call, apologize for not being able to come, and make a new appointment. He will bring a gift and definitely flowers. But, besides this, it is Tomorrow that he will finally tell her that he can no longer live in two houses, will divorce his wife and make her life the one she has dreamed of all these years from meeting to meeting with him. With such thoughts it is much easier to fall asleep in a cold, lonely, tear-stained bed, waiting for that magical TOMORROW..." "...Tanya looked in the mirror and did not see herself. Other eyes looked in the reflection, not hers, dull and tired. For several years she dreamed of a vacation, an exhibition of her paintings and his support and admiration. Dinner got cold... The children fell asleep, as usual, without seeing their dad. She herself could not see him for several days. She had to wait until midnight to meet, to show him that she loved him and was waiting for him. Today again he will come late and tired. He will hug her in a hurry and go to bed without having dinner. Today she will again not be able to tell him about her dreams. But tomorrow! Tomorrow everything will probably be different. Tomorrow... Yes, exactly tomorrow, he will probably come early and he will have time not only for telephone business conversations and shopping for stylish clothes! Tomorrow he will want to talk to her and will definitely hear about her dreams. And they will go to the sea, where she will paint several new paintings, and they will plan an exhibition there. Tomorrow, all tomorrow! It is Tomorrow that she will be happy..." "...Nadya sat down on a stool in the kitchen. Midnight. The TV is playing quietly in the room. He's watching football. Today everything is as usual: she came home from work (a couple of new clients and many old ones give the opportunity to rent an apartment, buy expensive products and dress in fashion), prepared dinner, greeted him, smiling, fed him, chatted, cleaned up. And she sat down on the stool. He watches football, and she watches her whole life. He is her fifth hope for happiness. The first drank, the second was jealous, the third did not want to work, the fourth... Yes, the usual fourth. The same as all the previous ones and this fifth one. The fifth is also ordinary - he doesn’t want to stress, doesn’t think about the future, doesn’t worry about her and their relationship. She always waited and …
