It’s a strange, aching dilemma that tugs at my heart—staying in a country that repeatedly shows me I’m not truly one of them- always feeling like an outsider, while the people who love me most are oceans away.
Every new white hair on my mother’s head feels like a painful reminder that time is slipping by. And here I am, still struggling to exist as an “alien” in a land I’ve given 12 years of my life to.
I can’t help but wonder: will it ever let me call it home?
