A good reflective piece that is worth reading....

Some colourful vocab and also ideas, of which here are just a few:
 To live away from home - or what was once home - is mostly a choice and to journey is often a privilege, and yet, distance has its own tyranny and, in effect, we live two lives.

To stitch a new life is to first cut old threads.

We travel to build futures, and yet, we carry crumbs of the past - recipe books, picture frames, a mother's dinner set, a father's tie. 

It reminds us that the best gifts aren't perfumes and shirts but simply presence.

all of us divided by borders but joined by a giggle. 

Because when bodies touch, distance briefly dies.
