I was waiting for the bus to get to work. During shelling, explosions and rockets in the sky.

I stood at the bus stop and watched the tracks of rockets flying into the sky. People came out of the shops and prayed. My body responded to the explosions with light squats.

But everyone continued to move in the direction of work. And my bus passed in 15 minutes.

I was happy to leave that place, because 15 minutes later a rocket arrived at the house near the bus stop.

My family was at home and also everyone heard it and felt how our house was shaking.

The missile that hit a neighbor's house was shot down over our house in the air.

The worst thing is the first explosions. Then the body stops responding and becomes unable to feel.

To avoid getting even worse, do not allow tantrums and panic.

You need to learn not to think about what might happen in the future, but to look at what is with you now.

After each explosion, I tell my mind that I am alive, I am whole, I continue to live. The pain I feel inside me will pass, don't block it.

And if a rocket falls next to me, I just won't have time to even realize it, I won't be there anymore, and I won't be afraid.

What doesn't exist is scary.

I was near this house today. This house in the photo is next to my apartment.
