Finding Home in Stories
Sometimes home isn't a place you can find on a map—it's a feeling you carry in the stories you choose to tell.
I've lived in seven cities across three countries, but I still dream in Malayalam. Every morning, regardless of which time zone I'm waking up in, my first conscious thought is always the same: what would my grandmother be doing right now in that little house by the shore?
Home, I've learned, is not the place where you're born or even where you choose to live. Home is the collection of stories that make sense of who you are when the world around you feels foreign.
