Reading this piece I'm reminded of a recent 8-month vagabond around the world. It was certainly an expereince of searching and seeking. After returning home I met with a comfortable feeling. I felt more peaceful, and overjoyed to be beside my family. It was a feeling far removed from how I'd felt before leaving. Sometimes I think we search, just so we can return home, and truly understand the place for what it is. This post was amzing. Brought up some intersting feelings. Subscribing so I can read the next ones!
I can very relate to this beautiful article, after out of home for almost 10 years, however, I am still not 100% sure about where I will be, but start to see more clarities...Congratulations to move forward with your decision among your options and enjoy your time home!
As a 3CK I envy the people who spend their entire lives in the same place they grew up. Great piece.
As someone who needed a year's adjustment when moving from NYC to Toronto because I could not come off the adrenaline high that is Manhattan, I found your reference to the speed of HK interesting!
I think we'll have a lot to connect over when we meet soon. Feeling very strong TCK vibes with this one. Can't wait to read more of your stories over your Substack.
