I often find people asking me this question. Maybe its because of the multilingual and cultural upbringing I had.
But I’ve never been able to come up with a straight answer to this.
What should I say ?
Where am I from ?
Should I tell them my birth place ?
My father’s village ?
City where I’ve spent most of my days ?
The place where I’ve spent my childhood ?
What about that place where my happiest memories are from ?
Maybe the place where I feel like myself ?
Place which has my heart ?
How about that place where I run to when I’m upset ?
That place where my mind wanders to when I feel low ?
Or the delusional place in my head where I drift to, every time I feel that I don’t belong here ? The place where I feel alive; where I find solace..
Where am I from ?
