oh man, this topic definitely hits close to home! i’ve noticed that my sense of belonging is very situational - sometimes i feel out of place among other asians or even taiwanese if i feel like my american upbringing sticks out too much. and of course, here in germany i often feel like an outsider! it definitely helps to know people like you and in this writing challenge who have had similar experiences 💕🫶
