absence. My upbringing was very international. I was a ‘global nomad’ from a young age, as Sara Ahmed terms it, having moved with my parent’s career changes to several different countries. Consequently, our family is very spread out globally and I found the extended period of border closures imposed during the pandemic worrying and difficult. I will never forget the tears and embraces as I saw my grandmother again or met my three-year-old nephew for the first time. In those moments, the long waits in endless queues in understaffed airports and the extra paperwork and hassle to get through customs were forgotten. I was just so grateful to be reunited with the people and places that I love. However, I realise that I may need to manage my expectations and be ready to accept that these people and places may have been changed, just as I have, by the uncertain times that we have all lived through. Perhaps it’s an exercise in looking forward and not trying to chase the past. Things have changed. Irrevocably.
