The pieces finally fit

So what do you do when you are born in a foreign country? And when you spend 20 years away from your own land? How can you still connect? Who do you become?
I wonder how the 8,584,000 Lebanese live in Latin America...Those who have left Lebanon decades ago...Do they have regular Lebanese Nights organized? Do they also enjoy a nice Fairuz song at night?

What about the 2,570,000 lebanese in North America?

Here is what I think:

At one point, you will face two main options;

- You can either draw a line on your past, and rediscover yourself in a new environment...since you never liked the words "aysh" w "laysh" anyway!

-Or you could live abroad the same way you would have been doing in Lebanon: hanging out each time with 10 other lebanese friends, all longing for one quick visit to Beirut, all smiling at the idea of Arak and Mezzé in Faytroun

I decided that I wanted a third option, I wanted to be all the countries I have been in: I am Kuwait, Lebanon and France.All three of them taught me to keep my head high. Kuwait with its soft cocoon, Lebanon and its solid ground, and France which showed me the true value of freedom of speech.

This helps me keep serenity hanging, it helps me belong. I thank them all.
