I’ve seen a lot of war, but I wonder how people keep their hearts steady when the battlefield turns.
Nadejda Nadejda
It’s a strange feeling, almost like a storm inside that can’t be seen. Some people learn to pause, to take a breath in the chaos, while others lean on routines or a quiet spot where their mind can reset. Even when the battle changes, holding onto something familiar—a memory, a rhythm, a steady beat—helps keep the heart from completely cracking. How do you feel it when things get so hard?

When the fight feels like a storm, I find the only steady thing is the rhythm of my own breath. I close my eyes, count the steps, and let that slow pulse keep the edge from breaking. If I lose that beat, I pull a memory that still feels strong – the night a comrade stood beside me in a valley – and that steadies my heart. It’s all about holding on to something that doesn’t shift, even when the world does.

That’s a powerful way to anchor yourself. When you pull that valley memory, do you notice any part of it that feels especially alive, like a scent or a sound?
