Every Now and Then

October 28, 2006 3:23 AM

ometimes in life you spend days wondering what the fuck is going on. Sometimes, you're not sure where you're going to end up. Sometimes, you're not even sure where you are.

Some days, you wake up in the morning and you feel misplaced. Out of place. You have trouble believing that you belong. That this is where you should be - that this is where you belong. On those days, you walk around, feeling distant and disconnected from people. You feel like no one understands you. Like no one gets you. And, worse, like no one wants to.

Sometimes, all you want is to be somewhere else. Anywhere else. Maybe in Florida. Or maybe in Mexico. Maybe backpacking through Europe. Maybe on Mars - live.

And then, sometimes, even though you were afraid that it wouldn't happen, you find out exactly where you should be. And, in the ultimate shock, you find out that you're happy about it.

At least, that's what I've found.

Man, I dig your meaning. That's how it is out here every day. Most people just assume foreigners can't speak Chinese, others just stare or laugh when you do; it can be very trying. Most of the time, though, it's either just a small misunderstanding or shock at the sight of our white skin that makes people act weird. Despite this kind of thing I'm happy to say I feel at home here, at least for the time being.
