💕coming back home to ukraine always feels like stepping into a soft, warm memory.

the streets, the air, even the light here it’s different. familiar in a way that makes my heart ache and heal at the same time.
i’m happy, because nothing compares to being close to my family… hearing their voices without a screen between us, hugging them until we both can’t stop smiling.

but there’s also this quiet sadness, knowing that time here is never enough.

it’s a strange mix joy that fills you up, and a bittersweet pinch that reminds you how much you’ve missed🫀
