This war has changed all of us, every Ukrainian

Natalia, Kyiv:

But my question to you today is how to tolerate people, relatives and friends in past who appeared to be stupid, and critical thinking for them is just an empty phrase. How to put up with inadequate people?

This war has changed you a lot. What will you appreciate most of all after the war?

Veronika, Malta:

There is no place in my country where people can feel completely safe, and it makes me terrified. I am in Malta, but even being abroad, the thoughts are always about home. We are those light fighters who spread love and compassion to the world. Pity that we pay a big price for it

It is a moment when a neutral position doesn’t work. When critical thinking is essential. I have never thought that people speaking a similar language can be so far from us in terms of values. And I am proud of the values Ukrainians share with the world now. Ukraine is a new trend

Being abroad, sometimes I feel like I want to hug all the cities and protect them from the pain. Someone told that “my comfort zone is 603 548 m²” and “my family is 44 millions now”. We are a huge family that is spread all around the world and I definitely feel it

There are 5 things can help us go out of the stress circle:

care about body (sleep, food, exercise)
contribution (volunteering, working, etc.)
socialization (online, offline)
study (new soft or hard skills)
believe (what is that something sacred you believe in?) Love

Julia, Ukraine:

How to put up with inadequate people? Unfortunately, I don’t know the answer to your question. I stopped talking with some of my past friends and relatives, because I can’t stand what they’re saying about war and russia. It seems that they live in the different world and don’t want to think at all.

I don’t know if our relationship will be rebuilt after war, but until victory I prefer to stay away from them for the sake of my nerves.

Alina,Ukraine:

I choose not to talk to stupid people.. I realized that it’s waste of my time. First days of war I tried to show trust and reach them. But now I want to save my energy and give it to our Army, our victims, my family and friends..

Victoria Guerra, Ukraine:

So well, girls, when we grow up as strict as our grandmothers.

We will be stingy with tears, we will not complain about anything, and we will always keep a stock of food in the pantry.

Daria, Ukraine:

We can stop talking with ex-friends whose actions or words appeared to be stupid, but what can we do with relatives? We do not choose them.

However, friend of mine has a few relatives from russia, who wrote her stupid propaganda like “special operation” and blah blah blah. She couldn’t get rid of them, until… their instagram and facebook was banned

Anastasia, Ukraine:

My life is the thing I appreciate the most. I know that I won’t be sad because of usual and not necessary things. I’ll enjoy more every moment with my family, friends, on my own, when I’m calm and not nervous

Lise, Ukraine:

Feeling of safety and basic routine, when you can meet your friends and do usual things; these are the most important for me in future and now.

Margarita, Ukraine:

This war has changed all of us, every Ukrainian. We became stronger. We are an unbreakable nation, thus we will stand and win. Most of all I will appreciate peaceful life, peaceful sky, smiles on people’s faces, freedom.
