Rafia, your writing has sustained me through some hard times as a migrant. Your writing brings clarity. You are such as brilliant writer. You write with such conviction, even when you talk about being unconvinced or stepping into the unknown. I hope you find a new home, a true home - a home that nourishes you. Although as I write this, I don't feel I know what things make a home anymore. There is the forever desire inside me to recreate the sense of belonging I felt in Lahore which leads me to keep looking for it.
Your words struck such a deep chord in me. Not simply because they are the warmest compliments any writer can get but also because they remind of the fact that to migrate is to sentence yourself to a perpetual search. Thank you so much for being a fellow traveler.
Dear Rafia, thank you for sharing your journey, I'm glad we stayed in touch after all these years and many moves... Hope to see you in California soon ❤️
