"They say dreaming is free, but is it?

You need mental space to dream. Dreaming comes at a cost. When you have to survive, dreaming is a luxury and you don’t have the currency to pay for it." Such an important reminder! For many immigrants I imagine the initial move is the start of a dream but sadly that seed of a dream can get snuffed out very quickly or slowly over time because of how hard the reality can be when they arrive at their destination.

it's definitely hard, and I guess some find it easier than others, depending on generation, country and overall context.
