Remnants of a conversation - I thought about migration, language switches, and echoes - remnants of conversations. I thought about being a fish out of water at times and wondered what the expression would be for a bird whose landing gear has been damaged. I am glad it can still fly…here here! 2025!
There's a TikTok video that I like: a guy comes home from work and throws himself on the bed, evidently tired and exhausted. Then there's the usual TikTok audios, and this one says: "Oh Lord, this day just drained me." And the caption on the video reads: "POV: After a long day of Speaking English at Work as an Immigrant.'
Sometimes, The English be exhausting lol. But It's funny how we can get caught up in our own languages and that of the colonizer. Kudos to the crow for such a great metaphor
Hahaha, Englishing can be exhausting. That video sounds hilarious Phiwe. Kudos to the crow indeed and hope it keeps on flying high. I am considering renaming this newsletter as well, encouraged by your step in doing the same. We will see. Cheers!
