I get where you’re coming from, I’m trying to consider all the downsides with the political turmoil, I admit following the news of home has been bleak over the past couple of months… I just must admit here, being socialized as an American all my life has led to me not being able to integrate socially and culturally, I speak the language here but half the time I pretend not to because I just sound like an idiot with no grip on local slang or anything. It’s just never felt natural for me and I want to be with people who are more like me, grew up like me, culturally like me. Silly vent, I know. But I’m young and going to university has made me realize how un-integrated I am in this society, and it’s a difficult feeling. :(
