.. this is some heavy stuff 
. I mean, I knew wars were tough for everyone involved, but hearing it straight from someone who's been there is a whole different story. It's crazy how much emotional toll it can take on these young guys, just to keep their heads down and do their job. And the isolation thing, that's some messed up stuff right there 
. Like, they're supposed to be part of this brotherhood, but in reality, it's every man for himself... or at least, that's what it feels like to them. It's like, we think we know what war is, but until you're right in the middle of it, you don't really understand what it does to people's minds and bodies. We need more stories like Akula's, you feel me?

He's putting his life on the line and what does he get? Scary cold, hunger, loneliness... it's not even a war zone in here, it's more like some kinda never-ending nightmare 
I mean, I'm all for defending our country and all, but is this really worth the emotional toll? 
It's like, we gotta start talking about this stuff, we can't just ignore it or pretend it doesn't exist... these young soldiers are the real heroes here, not some fancy general with a medal 
I can only imagine how hard it must be for Akula to share his story like this... it takes so much courage to be vulnerable about the trauma and pain you're going through 
. I'm glad he's finding a way to open up about his feelings, though - talking about it can really help with healing 
. We need more people like Akula who are willing to share their stories and help break down that stigma around mental health 
.
. I mean, can you imagine having to deal with that kind of cold and hunger on a daily basis? It's crazy how much mental health struggles can affect you when you're away from home and loved ones for so long 
.
. But can we get some better support systems in place for these young soldiers? Like, mental health services or something 
. I mean, they're already dealing with physical stuff, but it sounds like the psychological toll is just as bad. It's time for us to start prioritizing their well-being too 
I'm so moved by Akula's story 
. We need more stories like Akula's to help break down the stigma around talking about mental health struggles 
. And I think it's so brave of him for sharing his story in the first place 
.
