We're back where we've left.
It's called Repatriation. But it's not really where I belong, so I don't feel any patriotism. Not that I feel patriotic towards any country.
Moreover, the people who left this place almost 5 years ago, were very different from us now.
We've changed. A lot.
We've also moved to a new neighborhood, not even the one we are aiming to settle in to, because our house isn't ready yet. And we feel like aliens.
Our friends from before? The ones that were still in touch with us were really happy to have us here again.
But they're used to us not being here. So we have to be very active in order to see them.
And, we are not the same.
So, we don't always know what to talk about.
We've experienced so much. We've seen the world. Met people of so many other cultures.
We've been through really hard times.
How can we even start talking about that?
We're scarred. And this scar is deep and nobody can see it.
And we tell a little bit about it. But words somehow never seem to be enough to explain.
And so, we both feel very alone.
