I enjoyed this so much, Vahida (as well as those photos - you still view the world with that slight side-eye that I love). How interesting to have these ways to be in the world through language, culture and code. For me, migrating from the US, Australia allowed me to be weird (eg to be myself). I’m more myself here than I was ever at home. My accent is my excuse to be different and I feel more accepted here than I ever felt at home.
