Mental Space
Not in a good mental space, to be honest. Not really worried, safety wise. Performance anxiety and uncertainty about whether I can get in. Then the psychology of the trauma and the trauma of the psychology. This is a place that has been to Hell and is still there. One can't fathom the Hell that exists by the shores. That's scary.
Will I want to live and work when I come back?
South Sudan was different - a nation preparing for its birth, peaceful, poor, but happy. We were welcomed with open arms. The population respected us (MSF) for the work it was doing. MSF had been entrenched in South Sudan for decades. It was a rite of passage in MSF to be in a Tukul (hut) under the black night sky of South Sudan. I went through that, and never returned.
#life
May I request that we not communicate via WhatsApp for the interim period? I need the space and time.
I apologise for this. I don't mean to be rude.
🐻 is always open.
