Did not cross the border on foot but just as panicked. Couldn’t look in my parents’ eyes when saying goodbye. I don’t know when I’ll see them again. Everyone with means to is fleeing. I am safe in Tbilisi now.
Never thought it'd come to this, but I did have to leave Russia, crossing the border on foot in the middle of the night, with my panic-packed bags on my back and my dog in tow. Felt a massive door slam shut behind my back. Barely had enough time to call my parents. Crazy times.
