“I’m sorry to keep you waiting. That was an important call from my brother-in-law, calling from Kyiv.” The shopkeeper was apologizing to her customer, who patiently waited for the shopkeeper to get off her Ukrainian Zoom call.
"The people involved are human." If only we can all continue to keep that in mind. Your grandmother didn't share much, but she left you with the truth of war. Thank you for sharing this post. Everything about it captures my futility in this moment.
Hi from Ukraine! Your post made me realize how little I've thought about the other side. It got me thinking about what people from safe places might feel or "should" say in small talks. Thanks for sharing!
That's a tough question! I'm not sure, to be honest. I need some time to think about it.
Definitely wouldn't want to hear words of support for an aggressor country.
Actually, I was browsing youtube for the Obsidian experience and came across your channel. It's fantastic to see how you're running it and sharing your thoughts, Vicky!
