Down Sides of Being a Third Culture Kid
She always felt alone.
Everyone around her would come and go
(With exception to family)
She grew up without a constant rock
Without a permanent place she called home.
It’s the life she had to live being a third culture kid
Yet she would trade it all
to be a part of a permanent community.
She would trade it all to make life long friends
Instead of losing them
Maybe then all her Anxiety
Depression
Fears
And pain would vanish
She never belonged anywhere fully
She was always to “Asian” to be classified as Danish
But too “American” to be accepted as a Filipina
She would trade her vast experiences
Of moving and traveling
Just to feel like she belongs somewhere
People coming and going
Has led her to develop a fear of opening up
She knows deep down that she will lose them again
So why does she still try?
