naked journaling

This episode was recorded right after the power went out - a normal thing where I live, but one that pushed me over the edge that day. I talk about the everyday frustrations of immigration: power cuts, instability, constant small inconveniences, and the quiet anger that builds up when you're tired of adapting all the time. Toward the end, I try to hold space for gratitude too - not to cancel out the frustration, but to sit with both at once. Just an honest journal entry for anyone who feels overwhelmed by the reality of starting over in another country. Listen on all platforms: https://pod.link/1829512132?view=apps&sort=popularity
