Such a beautiful post, Hussain, and a beautiful photo of the Indonesian island that you will be leaving behind -- it looks like paradise but has become a prison for all the refugees detained there year upon hopeless year. I look forward to following you in your journey to your new home!
Kia ora Hussain, and welcome to Aotearoa NZ! Your story is an inspiration for all of us. I look forward to following your writing and hopefully meeting you in person soon :)
Kia ora David, I am already feeling a sense of belonging to NZ with the warm welcome I have received so far. Please stay in touch, I look forward to meeting you too in-person one day.
This is the first thing I am reading this morning and it fills me with great deal of sadness and hopefulness but I am writing this with a smile 💙 onwards and upwards!
Yes, Hussain, your writing is powerful - it moves us and that can be a really good thing. Congratulations on this new chapter in your life! You will (and already are) a source of great encouragement for a lot of people (your courage is true inspiration for me, that's for sure!).
Thank you dear Goodson, I equally find your writing beautiful and powerful. Your support have had a huge effect on development of my writing. Many thanks!
Thank you, Hussain, and many thanks to Sophie and Helen for introducing you to those of us who get to walk along with you now that the storm has settled.

The photo location might be the only place I might miss about this island - a prison free location.
The day has come! And we are walking with you. 💜
Thank you for sharing this beautful post, Hussain. Looking forward to reading more of your story here.
It does feel like walking together this journey. Thanks for the company Sophie.

Thank you Srishty, I am glad you are feeling hopefulness at the end. My writings tend to stir emotions that gets uncomfortable to read sometime.
