I Am Lost In This Big World

Lost In the Middle...

Written on January 8th, 2009

I moved away from my country years ago and am living in London for almost 3 of them...

Even if it's considerably long time I do not feel really Londoner. I do not feel belonging here. I have friends, job, relationship but all in all I know it's not my country, not my place and I am not 100% belonging here...

When I go back home I feel as a visitor. Long time away makes all feel strange and far and at the end of the day I do not feel belonging there either cause I can't imagine my daily life there...

So where do I belong to? Is it right for people to move away from there countries or better to stay where you are born?

And most important what to do further try to go back and belong OR stay and try to belong?

    i would stay and try to feel that you belong first.if you don't start to feel that feeling than go back.try to build a foundation for yourself.once you get used to it you will never want to turn back.soon or later you feel that theres a place in life for you.you will have that happy feeling of understandingness.i hope you get that feeling soon!good luck in life!hopefully you will find that you do belong soon!;D
