This book is an exile's book. For objective reasons that I had no control over, I grew up as an Arab with a Western education. Ever since I can remember, I have felt that I belonged to both worlds, without being completely of either one or the other [...] Yet when I say "exile" I do not mean something sad or deprived. On the contrary belonging, as it were, to both sides of the imperial divide enables you to understand them more easily.
— Edward W. Said, Culture and Imperialism.

Speaking of my time overseas, mean girls is a special little movie to me. Because its the only one ive seen that completely accurately portrays the alienation you feel when youre a western third culture kid trying to fit in back in your passport country if and when you go back. TCKs tend to stick together and become really comfortable existing in cultures that arent their family's, so it feels all backwards when you go back and you're expected to be a member of the majority now, only you've absorbed so much of other cultures that you can never really be one of the majority.
You become that white canadian guy who can switch accents without realizing it when theyre talking to someone from a place they used to live, who calls sneakers trainers and soccer football, knows enough of x y and z languages to get through a surface conversation, but is completely illiterate in them. When someone asks you where youre from, you have 3 different versions of the story depending on how long you have to tell it. And then yes, you do in fact get "if youre from africa, why are you white?" You get that a lot. Every time i see that line play out i cackle like a hyena because its so fucking real.

I’ve been trying to get reacquainted with my TCK identity, and part of that is conciously shifting my vocabulary back to what it was like before I returned to the U.S.

There is a popular but wholly mistaken assumption that being exiled is to be totally cut off, isolated, hopelessly separated from your place of origin. Would that surgically clean separation were true, because then at least you could have the consolation of knowing that what you have left behind is, in a sense, unthinkable and completely irrecoverable. The fact is that for most exiles the difficulty consists not simply in being forced to live away from home, but rather, given today's world, in living with the many reminders that you are in exile, that your home is not in fact so far away, and that the normal traffic of everyday contemporary life keeps you in constant but tantalizing and unfulfilled touch with the old place. The exile therefore exists in a median state, neither completely at one with the new setting nor fully disencumbered of the old, beset with half-involvements and half-detachments, nostalgic and sentimental on one level, an adept mimic or a secret outcast on another.
