I've been an immigrant for almost 10 years now. I first moved from Albania to the UK, then to the US, then Japan—and now I'm back in the US. I deeply miss my family, my country and my language. Every time I unexpectedly hear my native tongue—whether in a song or from someone nearby—it brings tears to my eyes. It's not about patriotism; it's the quiet ache of always feeling like a foreigner, no matter where I go. I have immense respect for immigrants around the world who leave everything behind to challenge themselves and start anew.
