I am always so impressed how writers like you can write when English isn't your first language. It's hard enough for native speakers like us. I love this line- "telling them in English felt less judged and exposed, as if my second language protected my stories with a shield." I'm not fluent (yet!) in another language, but I can understand this! Keep going!

This is a wonderful story of wrapping oneself up in an adopted language and making it one's own. Beautifully written.
