I Laughed Alone in Tesco

I saw Indomie on the shelf, and I actually gasped. Then I stood there laughing to myself like a weirdo. It was just noodles, but it felt like home.

I Almost Gave Up

I almost booked a ticket back home.
Then I got a random email: “You’ve been selected for the job interview.” I didn’t even remember applying.
That’s the day everything changed

I Made Jollof for my Kenyan Housemate

She asked if it was “like spicy rice.”
I just smiled and said, “Taste it first.”
She choked, said “it’s intense,” and then asked for seconds.
Win!!

I Wrote a Note to Myself

You are not weak for missing home. You’re strong for being here.”
I taped that note to my wall.
That note has saved me more times than I can count

The €30 That Changed Everything

I was sitting quietly in a corner after church.
I didn’t say a word to anyone. Then one of the ladies walked up, gave me €30 and said, “Manage it, okay? We’ve all been there.” I was jobless at the time. That €30 felt like €300

My First Snow

I had never seen snow before moving here. I ran outside in my slippers just to feel it. A stranger laughed and offered me gloves.
It felt like magic and kindness at the same time

Unexpected Invite

I was walking alone when someone from church said, “Come eat with us.”
That simple invite stopped me from spending Christmas alone

You Made It Here

You clicked! You read!
You felt something! That means you’re human. You’re here. You’re trying. Let that be enough for now.
