After the civil war erupted in my country, life has not been easy.

It has created a horrible situation for many families, including my own.

At this point, fleeing the country is the only option.

Nobody wants to keep their family in a place that makes them feel unsafe.

Leaving the country has been the hardest decision of our lives, especially because we can only bring so few items.

The first and most important thing we will need on our journey will be money, because it will be essential to provide for our needs.

Since the civil war broke out, the economy has not been great and money is tight.

We have been saving up for the past few months in order to ensure we have enough to get out safely and securely.

We will also be bringing warm clothes on our journey.

Although we do not know where we will be staying along the way, we must be prepared for any situation that will be thrown at us.

I will also be bringing items of sentimental value, like my book of old family photos.

Although we are leaving the country, it is important to always remember where we came from and remember the country that holds so many pleasant memories for me and my family.

One day we hope to return after the war is over, but for now, we must wave goodbye to the place we once called home.
