"Being brought to this land feels like I’ve been severed from everything my heart knows." This sentiment reflects the deep sense of displacement felt when living in the West. It speaks to the emotional disconnection from the language and traditions that are not expressed here. In this moment of separation, the heart longs for the comforting embrace of the known, yet it is also left to navigate the unknown—a new world where both memories and hopes are carried silently within.
