Dear Ally, I’m very glad that you find this article helpful! I would love to know more about what you’re experiencing. You certainly are not alone and I think others would benefit from what you have to share. – Ute 😉

Im an American TCK (born until finished high school in Spain and multiple Middle East countries). I recently graduated with my DVM and through a twist of fate met a farmer from North Dakota. So Im in North Dakota now, and this is the first I have lived in my home country since college. This article is perfect to describe the itch and out of place that i feel ever since I moved here. It’s good to know Im not alone in feeling this way.

I know this feeling and completely understand your fear. When we realize that we change, we adapt to new places, habits and see our previous life through new glasses: it can be terrifying but it’s very natural. This can also happen when you live in the same place and experienced a major change. I’ve also avoided going ‘back home’ from time to time for the same reason you mention. It’s a process you’re going through and I’m sure you’ll go back one time and appreciate and like it again. Sometimes it’s good to take some distance in order to re-appreciate what we had/have and already know (or take for granted).
