Well done! I enjoyed it a lot. Just a gentle correction: it’s ‘lightning’, not ‘lightening’, unless it’s a dialectical variation that I don’t know about.

This was an absolute joy to read!! It unravels the reality of displacement with all its shades of pain and adaptation in such a witty way. Loved it!

Excellent! Thank you! You get a sense of your life and the situation that is not possible to get from a normal piece of journalism, however good.
