When your friend/loved one tries something new, PLEASE encourage them and don't shit on them just because they're not instantly a whiz at it...

Don't get competitive. Don't get jealous. Don't "test" them. Under NO circumstances pass judgement unprompted and without being constructive.

All these behaviors might seem funny in the moment but they are deeply damaging.

Sounds so obvious yet most people I've met have sucked at it

Humans are migratory, it's in our biology to seek food and shelter and to move ourselves in small bands of people to find it together.

But, immigration in today's world is seriously difficult for us mammals. Paperwork, expensive paperwork, filed in correct order, back and forth, to cross borders and stay within certain made up lines. Corrupted officers who know the power they have over the direction of your travel, the "gifts" that make the passage smoother, the hands that stamp approval covered in gawdy decor. The exhaustion of travel only to be met with denial of entry. We try again and again and again, until the door begins to crack. Stand in this line, move to this line, pushed with heavy hands from the back. Legally aliens, forever adrift.

Somedays it's easy, smiles and handshakes and welcomes all around. Other days we are met with fire, emergency, come back later, and it will cost you more.

Grateful every day that my path of immigration has been allowed. But my husband still cannot enter certain borders, his homeland of origin being his only "crime."
