Being tired of having constant back thoughts of “but will I stay here?” rippling into your life while simultaneously doing everything in your power to avoid making the actual decision that will return peace of mind.

Being so grateful for your amazing life and at the same time feeling lost, lonely or stuck abroad (and then feeling guilty about that).

Longing for a committed relationship but not actively dating because you “don’t know where you’ll live in a year”.

Knowing you need to make friends in the place you just moved to while barely keeping up with your social circle back home and the other 2 countries you lived in, quietly thinking “but I actually don’t want more friends 😬”.

Spending money on classes to learn the language and then also secretly loving not understanding it without effort so you’re able to check out mentally outside or in big groups (I see you introverts).

Considering moving home so you no longer need to miss out on the family gatherings and dinners with friends while knowing you’ve completely outgrown the place.

Not fully investing in the place you live in now because the possibility of moving elsewhere is still a realistic one, then not making any moves because you’ve already invested in your current chapter.

Craving for your holiday home-home because it just feels so easy there, but returning exhausted from said holiday because it felt like a world tour, now craving your other home.

Counting your blessings belonging in multiple countries, while realizing you’ll never belong somewhere fully ever again - because your heart is scattered around the world and not one place will ever make it home again.

Did I miss one?
