I live in Germany almost for 8 years now and it is not bad, but I think it is not the country for me, I am not completely happy here, I come from Ecuador which is a beautiful country but every time I go there, because of all the political and security problems I just want to go away. But where should I go if both countries do not make me happy?
I had a discussion with a friend about being ‘homesick for a place that doesn’t exist anymore’ , cause the country or things or people you miss has changed since you left, but you didn’t get to experience the change so to you it just feels foreign now too
I never felt homesick about my former country. I haven’t been back there since I left for Canada. I get the feeling that when I visit eventually, it’s not going to be a place I recognize or that I’ll even feel connected to.
Canada didn’t feel at home at first but after being here for a while, it now does, especially since I’ve been a permanent resident for a while now. My former country on the other hand may as well be a foreign land.
