oh my, thank you so much for reading ❤️ that’s exactly how i hope my pieces come across, you made my day!

please do recommend the olive oil to your brother. i put it in the microwave for a bit and when it’s warm i drop some of it in my ear. NOT HOT though it could burn 🥲

Amal, this was so beautiful to read. I often think about my hometown in relation to America, too. I recently moved back and this city always reminds me of something else, always. I think when you've had such a unique life experience in contrast to everyone else around you, it often feels like you're in this liminal in-between space. a reminder of how far we've come. so sorry to hear about your health. right there with you. sending healing energy. :, )
