We all need to feel that we belong. We need to find that place and be able to recognize it.
I have been an immigrant for 14 years. I move around a lot and wherever I go, I never belong to the majority. By being one of the minority groups in a country you easily blame the problems on the society. You glorify your own country, mainly because you have not seen it for a very long time, making it to a distant paradise, that you are striving to return to, one day. Longing for a place where you can call home.
I really think that we should appreciate the moment, right here and now. We have moved for a reason and we are getting something from the experience, we always learn and we always grow. People always judge you depending on certain elements and it is hard not to fall into arguments and quarrels. No matter what happens in your daily experience it is so relaxing to come back to this certain place and be with the people who grew up in the same city as you did. Who ate the same food as you ate while growing up. Be with this people who don't judge you for anything, but simple take you for who you are. A cultural belonginess, unconditional generosity, everlasting and non judgemental love. This is where you grow strong, you have a place where you belong. We all have it, but are we able to appreciate it?
