Great read! I recently returned from a trip to Asia and it was so nice to be somewhere where everyone looked the "same" as me, where the clothes were cut to my height, the foundation shades matched my skin, where the food felt good for my body etc etc and I didn't even go back to China, I was still a foreigner but one that could choose to be an anonymous as long as I kept my mouth shut. It felt like one more layer of safety.
The point about returning to something that’s no longer there hits. I went to my clan village with this nostalgic image of it. it’s definitely moved on😭😭😭
