Once a foreigner, always a foreigner
This is something I've felt since I moved back to the US, I just don't fit in. I pretend I do, people don't notice, but I just feel like such a foreigner.
Its the same feeling as when you are a foreigner, people talk about stuff and you don't understand, but because all of the non-foreigners understand, they assume you do to.
Once you cross that boundary, and who knows when it is, you can't go back. You come to a place where you are never content to stay in one country - which is an expensive habit - and you really only feel a connection with other people like you.
Today in class, one of my professors who has moved around a lot said it best -
Once a foreigner, always a foreigner.
Thank God I'm not the only person who feels this way.

I'm glad you've come back to writing here!
Now I think I belong to my country; I am just a person with special experiences.
Erin, do you really wish to fit in your country? I get a feeling that you still remain to be different to other people around you?
わたしにわアメリカ人はとても退屈だ。パースとについて話すが難しい。このこくにわ人はちがった人が好きじゃないと思う。Don’t know if that makes sense （I forgot everything）が英語で書きたくない！ That’s just what I think. ここに私たちは EQUALSです。
No worries, I understood everything ^_^
アメリカ人でもどこの国の人でも、退屈な人は退屈なんだよ
日本にも退屈な人はいっぱいいるよ
When you want to talk about the past, talk to meeeeeeeee!!!
