#where is home

If you’re trying to get away from someone or somewhere, you’re not home. Unfortunately for those who have migrated from their homeland to another country, they hold a sentiment of longing for both countries. When you’re in one for too long you long for the other. Immigrants know this feeling all too well.

I grew up not knowing which country to plead my allegiance to. I was born as a by product of globalisation, my parents something that I was and wasn't, at the same time; entirely too many things at once. Trying entirely too hard to be one thing and then another and then trying to strike a balance and not knowing if I would succeed.
I grew up a patchwork of culture, unable to boil myself down to one image, unable to link my existence to one particular visual. I came close to one culture, but i was unable to BE It. I think this is the quintessential experience of a child of immigrant parents. Unable to be one thing completely. Unable to mould yourself to one thing entirely. Constantly feeling like if you let the sway of one culture to take you up in its currents, you will cease to be the other. When both cultures start to mean something to you, you make sure you live right in the middle. Playing a game with yourself of how long you can stay here before you are discovered, before someone tells you to go back to where you came from. You wait you entire life, prepping yourself, thinking of what you'll say and how you'll act when that moment comes.
You never know what to do when that moment never comes.

Dude, I am like a cat whisperer, give me a stray cat and I will learn its language, assimilate into its colony of other stray cats, find the leader, and seize power, thus becoming Lord of Felines in like five days tops.

putting down roots is scary, but uprooting constantly and building new worlds from scratch means you have no home

I can't find anything
They redid the kitchen while I was at uni. I left home and came back to a new one. Each year I come back for Christmas and birthdays and and I can never find a spatula. They used to be in the middle drawer to the right of the oven.
My baking cupboard was the cupboard that was mine in the kitchen. Nobody bakes anymore. I found my cake tins in the garage. I found food colouring that went out of date in 2019. I wonder when my place at home expired. Cause it is home. But whenever I'm there it's not. Home is my flat hours away.
I feel torn. It's objectively a better kitchen with more space for our growing family and all our friends. But where is the room for me? I'm glad my Mum is happier. I'm glad her kitchen is nicer. I'm glad her bedroom is nicer. But my siblings have my room now. And i'm in the guest room when I stay. Guestimating i haven't lived there in 3 years. But I want to go home.

YES YES I NEED THIS SIGN IN EVERY SINGLE PARK PLEASE
This is my daily struggle, I had so many arguments with people with off-leash dogs (in a mandatory leash area!!!). Thanks to this behavior I'm struggling with Kim being anxious/aggressive with other females as she often gets involved in unpleased interactions with free females while on leash. And every single time that I ask for the dog to be at least recalled, I'm being called names and insulted of course.
Also 9 out of 10 their dog isn't really that friendly at all.
