As someone who's lived and worked abroad for over 25 years, 20 in Ukraine, 4 in Georgia this part really strikes a chord.

The idea of never fully belonging, even after living in a place for decades, highlights a profound and often overlooked aspect of the immigrant experience.

It’s not just about legal status or time spent in a country, but about feeling accepted and valued as part of the community.

This feeling of being an "outsider" even when you call a place home is something many immigrants can relate to, and it underscores the importance of empathy and understanding in society.

Thanks for sharing this close to the heart piece!
