The universe always finds a way to balance things out. Just when my life feels at peace—when I’ve finally forgiven myself for things that I could never change, when I have an amazing partner, family relationship’s fine, and my job is great, suddenly my country seems to start falling apart.

Politics has never made sense to me, and I never once cared. But hearing someone lost their remote job just because their company doesn’t want workers from a torn country upsets me. I’m scared it’s gonna happen to me soon or later. I’m scared these whole new regulations will bring back the nightmare from our past and turn our home into one of those military-driven lands where life feels like nothing but hell. I’m so scared and hopeless.
