Journaling says: "I'm lucky enough to have 2 places to cal home. One where I was born, Brasil, in South America and the other one is Canada, in North America, a place where destiny unexpectedly sent us. Change the place we call home is more difficult than you think, but in between the highs and lows, I feel I'm doing just fine.But the thing is now I'm a foreigner with all of that word involves. It's that feeling of non-belonging. I don't feel like Canadian, mostly because I'm not, but I guess I'll never feel like one, even if one day I decide to be a citizen of this country. Awkwardly, I feel even more Brazilian as time goes by. This specially happens if I stumble upon little pieces of my own culture and that's when I feel like home again. For example, sometimes when I hear a Brazilian song on the radio, even if it's not my style of music, I keep listen and enjoy, just because that song is familiar to me, is part of who I am, so I feel like I'm back home, to the land of my origin or something. It's a subtle feeling. All the little things that used to be so ordinary, like listen to a Brazilian song on the radio, turned into something special now. It's inevitable to feel homesick when that kind of thing happens. We feel impossibly even more homesick in this situation. We didn't know it would be like this until we put our feet outside our birthplace."
