A letter for those who are growing up between two worlds.

Every week, one honest reflection on identity, belonging, and what it means to grow up feeling like you never quite fit — and the quiet discovery that you were never as lost as you felt.

Written by a Buddhist monk in Halifax who spent six years sitting with some of the most isolated people in Canada — inside federal prisons — and learned that belonging is not something you are given. It is something you slowly learn to build.

"The person who has lived between two worlds carries something rare. Not a wound — a capacity. And the world is only beginning to understand how much it needs it."

I grew up in Sri Lanka, studied psychology and psychotherapy, moved to Canada, and spent six years as a chaplain inside a federal prison. I've sat with people at the very edge of what a human being can carry. This letter is what I learned in those rooms.
