Rules of life

Everything that we do today or plan to do is all just to bring victory closer. We need to adjust the new conditions of our life, yet all our thoughts about the war and only one desire we have is to beat the enemy and win the war

Julia Krasii:

We should do our bit and have a good time to win this war. Soldiers are fighting so we can continue to live a life, not to endlessly moan and suffer.

Marharyta Yanets, Berlin:

Although it’s difficult to realise, but life doesn’t stop, life continues.

They wanted to break us, but we have to show that we are unbreakable.

We will live, create, come up with interesting ideas, laugh, love our significant others even more and of course our country.

We just should continue doing our bit!

Victoriia Dzhim:

We should not take into account words which people say about you. Their words are connected with their current feeling but they don’t have anything in common with us. But take into your account all the suffering of Ukraine, it’s our business.

Yana Bereznyak:

My rule for this month is getting some time to enjoy the life every day. It’s hard to keep balance, when you have war on the one side and a lot of work and study tasks on the other. I just need to remind myself that the life out of this box, which humans live in, is beautiful. And I shouldn’t miss it.

Valeria Hodasevich:

It’s almost the end of the spring. In more than 20 days we will have summer, and I hope we will have a good times like before the war. But we need to make sure that nothing wrong happens in these days, and after 9th of May (because it’s a strong day for russian) we should pay our attention to ourselves, to our victory and be alive. Because, after all, all we have is ourselves. And no one could change it

Mariia Ponomaryova, Berlin:

It’s important to know that our lives only depends on us. No matter how hard it is for us to realise it, but nobody will answer our prayers. And we always should be ready for it

Yaryna Travnikova:

I think it is important to pay attention to things we can influence. Do things that we know how to do and take care of our mental health, support relatives and create supportive atmosphere around us.

Maryna Yanovska:

I guess the only thing everyone should do next month is paying attention to their own need and preferences, without letting themselves moan about the world and how unfair it is. It’s our responsibility to live, not just exist, not to lose our patience, and simply having as much of a good time as possible. Build our own happiness (or at the very least an illusion of it) out of all the previous sufferings.

Artem Sergeyan:

We should learn how to have a good time with ourselves and how to stand solitude. We need to stay safe and pay attention to everything. Because being alive is precious. Staying sane in this crazy time is really important.

Halia Kunashuk, Poltava:

As students, we can still do a lot to help our country. It’s essential for us to do our bit to study hard, as this is our main duty. The knowledge we gain is extremely useful today in our situation.

Also, we can be volunteers and do some work for our army. In this way there is a possibility to avoid losing our patience and to help our soldiers.

Sophia Ilchenko, Tenerife:

My life rules:

Always pay attention to your relatives and friends

Don’t lose your patient because of children

Don’t moan about life too much. Be grateful

Anastasia Dyagileva:

I think the best rule now is that we shouldn’t moan. Moaning doesn’t help our army and people in occupied areas. We should try to live, work, study for good of Ukraine

Volodymyr Ursulov:

There is a song called “Save your tears for another day”. No matter how difficult and hopeless it seems, you have to keep trying to achieve something. For me, this is the main rule of life.

Dmytro Buhta:

The only thing I will always advise people is to start doing something to reach the goals. It seems like really simple, but for a big amount of people it has been a real problem for ages. “Just stop complaining and start working..”

Kateryna Grynchuk:

Now our main rules should be: paying attention to continue to support our relatives, each other and our army. Trying to avoid moaning about life and what’s happening because it will destroy our confidence in the future and the upliftment of the general spirit.

Arseny Vyshnevskyi:

I think everyone saw the list of things to do for everyone who wants to make the victory ASAP.

I agree with it but want to add the main rule. We have to change our attitude towards the language of the enemy. We don’t have to use it in our everyday life. This will help us build a reliable shield against the influence of the enemy in the future.

Anastasia Kovalenko:

One of the most important rule for our times is “Do your bit”, everybody should do what they can, still it will be huge help, because war is not only strong army, it is also strong people behind their back

Daria Ivchenko:

One of the best ways to do our bit during this war is not to forget and keep remembering: make donations our weekly habit, continue spreading the news, avoid moaning (this is what we can do after the victory but not now)

Olga Slipchenko:

Now it is the war, but we still continue to live, and I really love my life and if I have some depressive thoughts I pay attention to positive moments and win. We have the moment of now, and we need to be strong

Sasha Melnyk:

Nowadays we can’t moan about our soldiers, volunteers, and government. Vice versa, we should unite and support each other. I’m sure that it helps us to win this unfair war!

Anastasia Lukyanenko:

You should pay attention to your thoughts and feelings during the war. It can help you to have a good time with yourself and manage with anxiety. When you are calm and confident, you can do much more things and help a lot of people.
