Relatable… actually living alone in a foreign country can be depressing… no part how much you like being alone.

Covid-19 lock down situation and working from home makes it even more depressing.

Oboy! Depression in Canada is a conscious choice. It’s better to be depressed in Canada than to be oppressed by cows and a president who values cows more than humans in Nigeria.
