This is hitting me right in the heart!

My room looks like a battlefield at the moment - clothes strewn everywhere, half-open suitcases, vacuum bags on the floor - and I am just so glad and gratified that you've articulated the complex thoughts better than I possibly could have.

Lots of love and hugs for the beginning of a life-changing chapter at Cambridge❤️❤️❤️

Beautiful! I love the way you express yourself.. You made me realise life is made of these tiny moments and you have captured them so beautifully. I miss my home now. Can't wait to read your part 3.

This line will stay with me for a ong time,

"Leaving home is a reminder of the many compassionate, loving people I am lucky to lean on as I navigate an uncertain journey."
