Hello, my dearest.
It's just a quick message in all the world's heavy pandemic times. I had many doubts to write or not, but I've decided to risk be annoying as hell instead of silence, because sometimes silence can seems like if You forgot and don't pay attention to people, whom You love. And in my stupid chaotic life all people I love and care it's my mom and You. Hope, You and Your family, all people, whom You love, stay safe and healthy. I pray God for it to be true. I don't know, how Government of Your country works, but here in Russia we can't come out from home without receiving permission and QR-code, or we'll be arrested or will pay a fine. Hope, conditions in Australia are better, because here we feel ourselves as animals, locked in cages. And this letter with shooting I did at home for me as a memory about freedom. Memory about bright sunny October Saint Petersburg's days. Still there happened no event in my life, which could be more important, more wonderful, so I can say (as crazy shit, I know), that I miss You every hour of every my life's day... I saw Your video message to people, where You asked to support art workers of Australia and I've participated in this campaign. I draw this hashtag, posted it in all my social media and hope it will help. I don't know, what life waits all of us after the end of pandemic, but I desperately need to see, that art will still exist in the future and actors, singers, writers, directors will have their work places. And Your art I need even more, than everything else. These dark days I've started to rewatch «Rake» (alas, in record, so it won't help to all people, who worked for project, though I'd wanted to do more – just don't know, how) and, You know, while episode is still running, I forget everything, what happens today, as if the world is still the same. And seeing You I feel calm and safe. Your appearance (even on the screen) always makes me feel, like I'm home (so weird feeling, because even at home I never feel myself home), but it feels easy near to You. So, please, stay strong, positive and healthy. Even if after pandemic all the people will think, how to survive and solve their problems, even if all of them will say, that they don't need art, I want You to remember, that there will always be at least one person (though, I know, that it's not enough), who will always wait for Your works, even in the chaos of this world. With absolute absence of patience, with big happiness in my heart, with tears and smiles. Thank You for my heart still can feel it. It's a great miracle — in heavy times to keep such love in the core of heart. It helps to survive. It helps never giving up. All I want to – You also have such light and believe, that soon everything will be ok in this world.
P.S. I know, You said, that «Rake» is finally over, but You've said it already before, after the third season's end, so maybe some plot, connected with pandemic, could again bring the series to life, when You can work again? I think, there's enough materials and chaos and nonsense in our lives today, to put Cleaver inside all of it again. This dramedy is so hilarious, bright, funny, witty, so I suppose I still can't accept, that it's over for forever.
P.P.S. One more wish to stay healthy. It's better more, than less.
Goodbye. All my heart's warmth I send with this letter. I hope, You'll feel it, while You will read these words.
With the deepest respect, love and care,
Forever Yours
Loreley
