what were the fires of war like? such a time seems impossible for modern adults like me and my contemporaries to live in. I wonder how it must have been like—the constant fear of death around the corner, the hunger from days of scraping by on measly morsels… and the loss of any hope for tomorrow’s coming.

it’s all the more reason to feel blessed and to be thankful for all that I have. friends, family, shelter, food, entertainment, and so much more have all shaped me into who I am, and I wouldn’t know how to go through something like this without them.
