Koraly Dimitriadis

The morning after sleeping with a man I know isn’t good for me, I feel exhausted and achy. My 7-year-old is due back from her dad’s any minute. Too many days' dishes are stacked in the sink, clothes and toys are strewn everywhere — and I start to tear up. My small apartment is just as disorganized, run-down and cluttered as the rest of my life.
My ex drops my daughter off and she’s hungry. I haven’t done the grocery shopping. She starts to yell at me: Why can’t I go shopping when she’s at Dad...

For Koraly Dimitriadis, buying items brand new was always tied to migrant success - until she discovered the hidden treasures at her local op shop.

Had I just found the key to my pain relief? Could sex actually be good for me as opposed to a sin or wrong unless married as it so taught by my Greek Orthodox culture?

Moving has been ranked one of the top five most stressful life events. Our house is symbolic of ourselves, our safe haven from the outside world, which is why it is so hard to leave and start all over again.

As a tenant who goes away for work trips or short holidays once or twice a year, one of my plans to bring me closer to buying my own home is having someone stay at my place.

If you do not have his blessing you are a step away from Heaven, one closer to Hell. How do you stay pure? Your body and mind must be free from sin.
