On occasions when I get asked: ”so how is it to be back”, words cascade out of me. Most of the time though I smile politely and say “I am not sure yet”.

A few weeks ago, during an Instagram DM conversation, someone complimented me on how my new life in Sweden suited me and that I seemed to be thriving.
