How eloquently put. This resonates with me as I was 8 when I arrived in Qatar and spent 12 years there under similar circumstances. I can't tell you how to feel, I do not share all of your lived experiences, but I can remind you that the one constant in all of that is you. No matter where you are, what time you've spent where, you are still you. Qatar is part of the puzzle. We cannot change the past, but we can work towards the future. You have the power to impact the lives around you. Global politics is complicated especially when risk of speaking out is high but there is help to be done quietly too. Be the village to those around you, and it might begin to feel like home too. Thank you for giving us this insight into your beautiful brain
