Scenario

When diaspora friends remember their homeland differently

My best friend and I both came from the same place and built this life here together, but lately when we talk about home it feels like we're remembering two different countries. She's romanticizing things I remember as suffocating, and I can't tell if my memories are getting darker or if hers are getting softer with time.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two friends who shared the same origin story are discovering that their memories and meanings of home are diverging in ways that threaten their connection and their individual sense of truth.
