 Feels strange to think this could happen  
 when the war started i was living in Varna, on the west coast of the black sea

i had to get out of there after seeing the flood of exchange students from india and all the ukrainians lining up to get residence permits at immigration, i don't think it's going to get better for some time yet, the megalomaniacs have got the momentum at this point 
 The strange thing is that we are all going to work, be in our family, taking care of the kids and then some psychopath decide to press a button and...  
 i can't even imagine how it is to live in a country with war going on in the south and east so close by... some of my colleagues at my remote job are from kiev and all, i couldn't get away from varna fast enough when it started, i can't even comprehend it, like, do you not understand that just down the road people are firing guns at each other and launching volley after volley of mortar shells to rain destruction on other people, launching drones to spy out positions and then shooting rockets at them? really, do you not comprehend how fucking dangerous this is?
