@ealafie: Leaving the US changed my life in ways I cannot explain. I have learned of the great privilege I have, the beauty in human connection even when I don’t understand a language, I have learned what it means to be proud of who I am. I have found confidence because of the love strangers have poured into me and I am forever changed, the love of my family especially. The US could never have fulfilled my soul in this way🥹
