Where Are You From? ๐
Recently I was in Paris ๐ซ๐ท at a cocktail party in an art gallery ๐ผ๏ธ and this question really made me think. ๐ค
As a third-culture kid growing up with French and Vietnamese parents and having lived in 5 countries before I turned 23 ๐บ๐ธ๐ซ๐ท๐ป๐ณ๐ฌ๐ง๐ธ๐ฌ, I am looking for a sense of Home and Belonging all my life.
A better question to ask:
Where is Home for You? ๐ก
Ultimately I embrace the fact that Home is a Feeling ๐. Wherever I have my friends, family, and community, thatโs where Home is for me.
Home for me is New York, where I lived for 10 years, Saigon, where I grew up, Paris, even though I only lived there for a year, it feels like home for me there.
What about you? How would you answer the question Where are you from? Or Where is Home for you?
Do you agree that Home is ultimately a feeling: โHome is where the heart isโ ๐?
