This is a piece that speaks to the nomadic nature in which my life has proceeded and how difficult change still is for me. Since moving to the United States at seven years old from Bulgaria I have pretty steadily been moving around and words such as “home” or “consistency” carry weight only in regards to their absence for me. This is a testament to how everything changes without your consent, even you.
