Being a military brat is hard because we have no mooring beyond our designation.

The only place I neither felt nor was treated like a foreigner was in the US, where, ironically, my politcal status was "legal alien".
It seems I need to talk about this whole pile of crap. I will post more later, otherwise it will be overwhelming... possibly both for me and for you guys.

Belonging, but mostly not belonging.
I understand.
I think one has to find other ways to belong . .. .. maybe not to place, people, . . . .but to something else that is big enough to make the days work.
I could not respond much to your first post because I got very distracted (and I am already in a bad mood so forgive me) by the "we are all going to die sometime." That pretty much cuts off dialogue.
Besides, none of us here is friicking dying. We are living.
. . .living
more or less as well as we can with what we are dealt, even as sucky as that is.
