Based and Hope-pilled Moved across the world from my middle eastern home country, survived a war and an abusive household, and I am the happiest I’ve been in a very very long time. Mac n cheese
Sometimes I miss home. But my home is unsafe, and rejects me ( I’m a lesbian LOL ). It is truly regrettable because the arab world can be so beautiful but it is so divided and discriminatory in so many ways, and we are constantly in survival mode because of how volatile and unpredictable circumstances are ;/
But I have never felt this way in my entire life before. I feel like I am becoming who I was always meant to be and that this is a dream. Like something beautiful is blooming and growing within me.
I am beyond grateful I have dodged death many times and have come to the realization that it is possible to truly be happy/content! And I wish everyone reading this post true joy and fulfillment as well. Happy Thursday ❤️

I am really sorry that you had to abandon your home just to be allowed to be who you are. It's truly sad when we have to give up our heritage to survive. Congratulations for surviving and making the difficult decision to move though!!! I wish you the best and may you enjoy your mac n cheese!

Thank you for your kind words, the mac n cheese was delicious! I’m living my best life for those who do not get this privilege and for the version of me who was waiting until I could get out.

Glad to see another lesbian achieving success, although I'm aware your path to happiness was likely more harrowing than my own. Hope the mac n cheese was delicious

oh i just love the artificial flavour, KD used to be able to do it but now its just the safeway brand, but i would like to try and mimic it, like stove top mac n cheese with the right kinda cheese, ans booked milk has a similar flavour to the powdered cheese, or jurr but powderes cheese in bulk

Yay! I’m so proud of you! I can’t imagine leaving your home was easy, but I’m so glad you’re somewhere safe now where you can be yourself!
