This is really moving, Nadia, an ode to displacement and finding anchors in the heart and creativity when the world is constantly shifting. You've had such challenges! Your voice is both gentle and strong... :)

That was so good! I loved it , and thanks for the shoutout.

I resonate deeply with all the stuff you wrote about hope! I too feel like I was a twenty something overflowing with hope and now I am lucky for even a drop. It's something I wanna change tho. being hopeless sucks lol

“Mini me was carefree, joyful, studious, well, and hopeful. Life shaped big me in unpredictable ways full of uncertainties and obstacles, but not devoid of love, beauty, happiness, peace, and fortune. Mini me pushes me forward, and big me pulls myself together. We co-exist in different hopes.” Yup. We were separated at birth. I adore you Nadia!!!! I adore your brilliant, reflective, warm, wall-carpeted mind! ❤️
