Why didn’t I choose to spend these days with my family? There are plenty of questions swirling in my mind. Still, I can fight.
What am I going to give back to my family, who have done everything for me? The people here might not know how I ended up among them, but I know the hard work behind it. I want to do something for my parents before I leave this world. Being alone here in Oxford, with no one from my country or anyone I know, is what truly helps me see myself more clearly.
life’s a circle, and seasons change,
This too shall pass—though it feels so strange.
