We live in a culture that rewards composure. So you learn to perform stability while your nervous system stays on high alert. You meet expectations. You carry the load. You keep moving. And your body keeps score.
If you’ve ever wrestled with how you see yourself… how you feel about yourself… and how those inner conversations shape your mental well-being, you’re not alone.
You’re successful. So why can’t you sleep?⠀⠀ If you grew up between cultures, you probably learned to adapt. To perform. To outwork fear.⠀ But that 3am restlessness? That “never enough” loop in your head? That’s not just ambition.⠀ It might be your nervous system still running from something.
Migration isn’t just about paperwork and flights. It’s about the invisible grief that follows you, even after the bags are unpacked. You may have chosen to leave, but even chosen departures come with heartache.
