I was raised in a small town and had strong sense of belonging there. But when I grew up I moved on to cities, where I graduated. My attitude, outlook everything changed. My gf is from a different community and mother tongue. After so many years now I do not belong to my home town. Even when I go there I cant stay for long time. Very strange. I like the place but dont belong there any more.
The place where I lived until two months ago, I dont feel I belong there too. How ever after travelling a week or so it always felt so good and home once back. But it is all about the home we had. Our pets, house, bed, sofa, etc. But now we had moved to wa state.
I still dont feel belonging here... above all I hardly feel belonging to any certain community of people. How ever I always have nice time with friends, colleagues and even strangers during travel. But always kept distance with neighbors.
