This is lovely! I appreciate that you covered the moldy veggies that need to be chucked for the health of all concerned. And that you talk about how later in life friendships tend to mostly be women - so relatable. Women are amazing. A great read. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for this beautiful, poignant post! There is something otherworldly about Third Culture Kid friendships. As a TCK myself, I remember the letter writing so vividly, those olden pre-Internet days, picking at the mail box every morning, waiting, studying the stamps and postal scrawls on them, admiring the stationery. I've kept them all and wish I could have brought them with me as I continue rolling around the globe. I can also really relate to how real and precious even those with sporadic communication are, they are like a portal to you in another time.
I was having a "meh" morning and this message made my day. Thank you for this note. From one Third Culture Kid to another, wishing you a steady hand in the many adventures to come, and friendships that revive you along the way.
Thank you for this and your beautiful writing! I had to reread many parts because I loved the way you wrote them, and also because although it is about an entirely different culture I felt like I know exactly what this is about, the feeling underneath.
Just finished reading Nam's insightful piece on transnational friendships and I'm blown away! 📚👏 Such a beautifully crafted exploration of connections that transcend borders and cultures. It really made me think about the power of friendship in bridging divides. Bravo, my friend. Can't wait to read more of your inspiring work. In the meantime, I claim the " Gin-and-Healing Friendship' 🤗
