The MOVE (3): Leaving Tunisia

30 April 2009

It’s amazing how people get attached to a place even if they’re not aware of it. And it’s weird how even when you think you’re strong enough to manage a moving process and get over a place, and to keep everything under control, you find out that you’re just as unorganized, unprepared, and out of [...]

I had piles of different kinds of stuff I wanted to get rid of, [...]
