Mental health, island-wide PTSD, being ignored for decades is another piece in the puzzle of what unites us. I was born in Cy after '74 and I still have emotional pain from these events. 100% agreed and full solidarity with all Cypriots (except fascists — you know who you are).

Any fear I had of events and flags, or of T/Cs or Turks (especially soldiers) I channelled into empathy/love for Cy and the need we all have for getting along in a deep way. Over the years I have finally escaped all the disgusting counterproductive brainwashing at school...

...the sad truth is that many do not want to face, tackle, and discard, the propaganda we were fed at school as G/Cs BUT at least the younger generations are spared from almost all of the fucked up shit I/we/my generation had to endure.

I do see positive stuff in the future. So that's something. I feel often I am swimming in a sea of negativity (not towards ethnic minorities) but towards a better Cyprus generally. But I have to say that I do not agree with those people's negative takes.

The strides and dare-I-say leaps and bounds Cypriots, all of us, have made in the last 10 years are amazing. If one can't see it, it's probably because they are lost in the details. The reality is, we're actually really impressive as a culture given how bad our recent past is.

I like to describe myself as pessimistically optimist. I see bad stuff in the details but the zoomed out picture is one of hope.
