I can say that I live in the rear, so the war did not really affect me. I heard some shells flying. I heard all this, and even saw it in some situations.
Our city has an excellent school and I love it very much. I have graduated from it and now I am entering a technical school. I remember clearly that my parents wanted to keep me away from this information and from the war as much as possible, because I was still young. Apparently, my parents did not want me to learn all the horrors of the war. Therefore, I do not particularly remember how everything happened, but I remember that when the war began, we wanted to go for a summer holiday, but then checkpoints appeared. My mum still had to explain why everything turned out this way.
War is always about some very terrible things. You always don’t want this war to happen. Therefore, the humanity needs to learn to do without it. For me peace is precisely when there is mutual understanding between people, when people are able to agree with each other without causing physical harm.
I feel like a happy person because, despite all the horrors that happened near me, they did not get me. I know people who left their country because of all these events, who moved to other, more peaceful countries – where there is no war.
