I have been thinking a while if I should post my own coming to Twitter and NAFO story, opening up scares me extremly, but here we go:
My personal ties to Ukraine before the war were zero. I didn't have a family background or friends

coming from this beautiful country. But I followed the news from 2014 on, and it caused a spark.
When Gulag-country took the step to the full blown war I was crying for weeks. The news feeds lacked of views from Ukraine, so I came here. To find voices you won't hear on

normal television news.
And I met amongst other amazing ppl my dear @darekadattehito , she showed and learned me so much. The wittiest racoon there is!
@mr_gh0stly was the one that led me to NAFO, I also waited a bit till I finally got what tracksuits have to do with it all.

I found a great security net with the lovely NAFO DE and AT groups. Love you guys 😘😘😘
From my nature I am terrible introvert, you find me way more in the comment section than doing my own posts.
So trying to take aktive actions was a big step for me
