Just wanna have peace

I am Daryna, just a student from Ukraine. And we had actually very good life till one moment..

THE BEGINNING.

Full scale invasion of russia brought us a lot of anxiety, death, ruins..

I remember that morning.. nobody understood what happened. My little sister was 2 weeks old, and we literally wanted to escape from everything to some piece. A lot of panic first days, but hopefully we decided to stay home and volunteer because it was not so dangerous to stay in the western Ukraine.

THE CONTINUING.

As I am a student and I am studying in Lviv, the city near the Polish border.

Hopefully, I am so proud that we could study offline at university last two years even despite danger.

Last year was really hard.. in October it was a big bombing of electricity infrastructure and we had no light, water and even connection.. it was dark and cold that period. I remember just how we studied for our exams with candle lights.

RECENTLY.

Now, I am as an exchange student at the University of Jyväskylä and it's a pleasure to live a bit in safety. Two days before coming here I couldn't go out for exam at my home university, because it was a big bombing in my town Lviv.

And being here and just observing this situation when you are far away is also so heartbreaking.

Sometimes just wanna express my feelings and pain, and share how it's unfair to live in a war reality.

Just wanna have peace, freedom in my country...
