#warcoffee talks about something. The war is

Jan 14, 2023

Hi!

I've made a warcoffee, lit the candle, took two chocolate candies & decided to put this day here. Victory (still a cat) is nearby. Sleeping.

It was a terrible Saturday. I feel as if I've been working in the field all day long (ok, I don't know how to work in the field all day long, only my imagination works here). I even watched the movie. Not bad. I had an enormous desire to put my brains somewhere far from this war.

These missile attacks make me feel helpless.

We heard the explosions early in the morning. We - Victory & I; Vlad was sleeping at that moment (till that moment). I had warcoffee & some reading. Victory was looking out the window.

How do they sound? These explosions? Like crazy & very loud fireworks. But we (Ukrainians) know this subtle difference between explosions & fireworks.

There was no air raid alert. It was strange. Ok, five minutes & 4 or 5 or 6 explosions later, the air raid alert began.

I said (or thought, or I don't know):

- Again.

Victory was scared. Me? Got used. I checked how much food she has & we have. Enough for some days (maybe even weeks). Was satisfied. Filled everything with water. Started monitoring the news. When you read 'Kyiv is under missile attack,' your heart is crying with tons of why. No answers. Just the damn war (sorry).

This attack wasn't long (or was it?). An hour and a half.

But in the afternoon, we had another one. More massive, more terrible. With deaths, blood, and damages. What for? What for? No answers again.

It's calm now. Soon we will have another power outage (I lit the candle as I love, got used & wanted it). I will write a nobook (the book that shouldn't have been written) and put some words into the war book-diary I've been writing in Ukrainian since Feb 24. Mom will call, and we'll exchange our regular 'we are fine' words.

Some people in Ukraine won't have the chance to do it. They were killed today by russian missiles. That Mom you probably saw in the video won't pick up her phone & say:

- Hi, Son. How are you?

Her Son is dead.

I've had my warcoffee. Black, without sugar. Can you hug your loved ones right now?

Yara (or Yaroslava)

I couldn't decide what picture I had to put here. And found this one. Probably some bad shot.

This writing is so strong and coveys your mood so well. Right down to the photos. Sombre and dark. I'm not sure how I ended up here, reading this today (March '23) , dear Yara. But I needed to. I'm overwhelmed with sadness. Also frustration and anger that our governments do not help more with military & weapons. And that I can't help more. I'll be damned if I don't find a way.

I just read your last two posts here. There was so much hurt this weekend with the latest round of terror from the neighbors that won't go away that I could only scroll through Twitter for a few minutes at a time. I feel for you and Libby and Elena and Nastya and Iulia and Olga and Iryna and so many others that can't turn away because it could be their son, mother, friend, or others in the news. I can only send you peace, positive energy, and support from a distance.

The pain and suffering of you and your fellow Ukrainians is absolutely devastating. I can barely find the words to say how upset I get when I see the horrendous impact of the unforgivable attacks on your country. I send you love, support and positivity dear Yara xxx

A blurred question mark of white surrounded by black: the war. Thank you for sharing, with clarity and honesty, your feelings of hopelessness. The world of war is chaos. Expressing guileless emotion will anchor you in the eye of the storm. Indomitable.  hugs❤️
