WTF i had to read this to find out you’re living in Cyprus.
What I like here is the honesty and the care. You speak about a painful subject without turning cold or preachy, and that takes balance. The piece feels thoughtful, humane, and grounded in real experience.
It also helps that your voice stays calm. You leave room for complexity without losing your point. That makes it easier to trust what you’re saying. Gentle, mature, and full of empathy….
P.S. Greeks still carry the guilt of Cyprus being betrayed in 1974, and of that “Cyprus lies far away” line our prime minister at the time used as an excuse.
