🙃 The sheer incuriosity of family about where I live. To them, even after all this time, there's the West and then there's... everything else.

Amusingly:

My father's first thought, when I told him I was going to move: "Don't join a cartel!" Dead serious. Was afraid I'd been recruited. 😅

Second thought: "How are you going to raise 3 kids in Colombia?" Also serious, because even though I've been clear about no kids since 17, he'd been harbouring the idea that I'd eventually come around and give 3 of my nephews 3 cousins. 🙄

But hey! Still not in a cartel, & I haven't brought children into my struggling life for "balance". #SmallWins 🥳
