started reading literature about Third Culture. no, not the science community's "look at me!" wankfest. Third Culture Kids - people who have grown up in various cultures different from that of their parents. people who are also called "global nomads". people who don't fit in any culture, but understand so many.

we're restless. we're multilingual. we're lonely, despite the ability to make friends - and drop them - almost instantly.

we move constantly. we have no homes, no roots, no place that we're "from".

i've know the term Third Culture Kid for a while now, but i never did any reading. now that I have started, it feels like i've found people who understand me, or at least what it's like. Not to be really American but also not to be really European. at least i don't meet with the same confusion of some, who have to deal with multiple continents

so, today i'm thankful for finding comfort and understanding. and whaddya know - i found it in books! the same way i did as a child - because books were the friends that i could take with me.
