Wow Ehae! Just wow! How do you do it? Astonishing and beautiful. I had to pause at a point to reflect, because that's how much your words carry power and beauty. This post hits 'home' for me as well. That thought of missing a place like Nigeria...not because of the country itself, but because of the pieces of ourselves we leave behind. I know how it feels. Thanks for sharing your words with us. Please don't stop.
I love the density and layering of emotions captured. It makes the text seem longer than it actually is (in a good way). I hope we keep having to remember to forget. To automatically forget kind of feels like losing consciousness.
This is a point of view I have never read (I don’t know if that speaks to the narrowness of my read list but it’s true). I found it both interesting and difficult . A fantastic piece
Thanks so much Naomi! Yes, you're def right about the POV- I think its first person but in direct conversation with someone. Its my first time writing in this POV but it just organically happened while I was writing. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much! I’m so glad you could relate. And certainly it’s an interesting feeling!

...for whom it is easy to forget.
