This is my second Christmas in the UK & the first I'm looking forward to 🎄

This year I am happy. I am happy because I no longer have nightmares about crossing the sea, forests & borders.

I'm happy because I finally feel safe.

I am happy because I am working for my future & I am studying at uni.

I am happy this year because I have hope for the future. Although I am an asylum seeker, but I am full of hope.

I am happy to celebrate because after many years I feel that I have a normal life at last.
