We landed in Italy only three days ago. To be precise, in the north east of Italy, the area where I spent the first 37 years of my life. Somehow, I’m back home, but I’m an alien. I walk around in my hometown, and I feel like I’m a newly arrived immigrant. I know, I’ve been away for five years and I’ve been back only for three days. It will take some time to reconnect with these places. But it’s weird because I used to talk about this area as “my places” when I was abroad, and now I struggle to call them “mine”. It makes me wonder if I still belong somewhere. Where is my home?
