Story
Where I Belong Now
A story told in writing, audio, and video about arriving somewhere new with nothing familiar left, and slowly building a sense of home again.
Background
When I arrived, I didn’t know the language, the streets, or a single person nearby.
A turning point
A local family invited me to their table one evening, no questions asked, just an extra plate.
Finding community
From there I met others in the same position, and together we started showing up for each other.
What changed
The city stopped feeling foreign. It started feeling like somewhere I was allowed to stay.
Key message
Belonging doesn’t start with fitting in perfectly — it starts with one open door.
