I'm not someone who easily cries whilst reading, but this one got me.
The horrors of war, shootings, bombings, etc. Trying to survive whilst also still doing everything you can to help your people. Being so torn between loving your country and being loyal to it, but also knowing you and your loved ones can't stay there if you want to survive.
And amidst all that still finding love and moments of beauty.
