For those who have lost almost everything and are still daring to begin again. When you choose to move—truly move, not as a tourist or an adventurer, but as someone rebuilding from the ashes—you step into a life that demands trust. Not the easy kind of trust that comes with clear plans and safety nets, but the raw, trembling kind that asks you to keep walking even when the ground disappears beneath your feet. For some of us, relocation was not a luxury. It was a necessity. We

This topic may feel heavy—perhaps even offensive to some. The word genocide  carries a weight that most minds instinctively turn from. But there is wisdom in facing difficult truths with courage. To study how such atrocities unfold is not to dwell in darkness—it is to learn how to keep light. When we understand the machinery of hatred, we are less likely to become its gears. When we can see the pattern, we have a chance to interrupt it. Genocide does not begin with mass grave

Relocating to a new country brings obvious challenges, but one of the most overlooked challenges is emotional. You will hear many voices along the way, and not all of them will strengthen you. Some will encourage, others will criticize, and a few may even sabotage. Learning to set boundaries is not just wise—it is survival. Moving is more than a purge of things. It is a fire. It burns away the superficial and leaves only what is sturdy enough to endure. Relationships are ofte

When we think of the witch trials, we often imagine bonfires, shadowy figures in courts, and whispered accusations passed over fences. Yet beneath the drama of superstition and fire lies a deeper story: how societies under strain weaponized fear, how political and religious divisions fueled suspicion, and how women—so often the target—found ways to endure. The witch trials were not about witches. Most of the accused had no connection to pagan practices or secret rituals. They

When the ground shakes beneath us, many face the same agonizing question: Do I stay and fight, or do I go to protect myself and those I love? Leaving can feel like betrayal. Staying can feel like self-destruction. But seeking safety has never meant surrendering your values. Stepping away does not mean abandoning the struggle. Survival, too, has always been part of resistance. The Burden of Guilt Those who leave often carry a heavy guilt. They imagine neighbors whispering, you

Landing in a new country isn’t just about stepping off the plane. It’s about finding your bearings—learning where to buy groceries, how to greet your neighbors, which bus to catch, and which stories have shaped the streets you’re walking down. At first, it can feel dizzying. Signs are in a different alphabet, shops close at unfamiliar hours, and the little routines you once took for granted suddenly require new learning. Disorientation is part of the process. Over time, thoug

When you relocate, you don’t just pack boxes. You carry your body, your routines, and the steady rituals of care that keep you grounded. Medicines and therapy sessions may not seem as visible as furniture or heirlooms, but they are part of your hearth — the daily warmth that makes a place livable. Moving to Eastern Europe can raise questions: Will I find my medication there? What if I get sick before I’m registered in the system? Will therapy still be an option?  These worrie
