A Letter Home.

I was going for an erratic but powerful story, and this short article captures my intention well.

It has been almost 10 years since I moved to Europe and 14 years since the Arab Spring changed how I perceive the world. My rose-tinted glasses were forced off, and injustice looked me in the face. As an 11-year-old, I wasn’t sure what to ask, and I am constantly developing how I understand the events.

I don’t have solutions, but I know that solutions will not come so long as the West selectively upholds liberal democratic values.
