So recently I thought about what it would be like to live in the midst of a war, with violence and death acting as a potential threat to me every single day. I don’t even think I can imagine what it would be like. At least, not in a way that I could have a true understanding of what it is like and how it feels. I think of myself as an independent young woman right now, being able to do what I want, where I want, and when I want. What if that was taken away from me? What if I was not able to step outside my house by myself without fearing for my life? Life would be so different. Not to say that I don’t appreciate what I have now, but I feel like I would definitely take a lot less things for granted. I imagine that a war would cause me to grow up fast, and figure out what my real priorities in life are. Would I lose my sense of humor? Would there be no more fun and games of any sort? I really don’t know. Another thing to take into consideration is, what are wars like now, in the 21st century? I wish I was more knowledgeable on politics and the situations in our world right now on a global scale.
