Hop on!




So this being my first blog post, it only seems fitting to start at the beginning. First of all thank you for being here and making it past the first sentence :)


My intension and hope with this is for you to hopefully get to know me better and for me to be use this as a form of therapy ..... this is much cheaper than ACTUAL therapy.


I'm a third culture baby ... what the heck does that mean? Well to me it meant spending most of my teens and early twenties trying to figuer out where the hell I belong and where the hell I fit in. Now I can here you , you're probably saying, "Well yeah , what else are you supposed to do in that age period?" Which is totally valid. Being a Millennial, now probably considered an Elder Millennial, I didn't come across too many people who were brought up in my situation.

I was born in the Middle East to Indian parents and then immigrated to Canada when I was 17. I did one year of high school before starting University and as I started to make friends, every one had stories about these long term friendships they had and these long rooted histories that I didn't have . You see when you grow up in a country that isn't the one your parents belong to, you know that your'e more than likely not going to stay there past high school, you might come back, but at some point you will leave. In that kind of environment friendships become very transient, genuine and hopefully long ... but still fragile. Hearing about how people here grew up (non- immigrants) made me feel like I was missing out on something , and most immigrant families only had the one jump, home country to new country. They had a sense of HOME and grounding of some sort, I felt like I didn't.


Thank you again for getting this far. I hope you can connect with at least some of where i'm coming from. Have a great day. Much love.
