I can’t breathe anymore. I can’t sleep, eat, concentrate, work. There is only one thing on my mind: Humanity has let me down. (Not that I was expecting much from humanity.) I went to the park to spend time with nature. Beautiful fall weather. It didn’t do much. People enjoying themselves when there is a war on. Then I saw these colors merging so effortlessly with each other. Wish people could be like that. Enjoyed a few seconds of solace. In seeing nature’s beauty. Then I came out of it. It is Day 17 of the war.
