becoming 23 | ep. 2 - i grew up a nomad

1/9/2019

Preparing to go home has been exciting to say the least. As I take on this journey, I felt like everyone should know where I'm coming from in order to have a better understanding of what I'm trying to uncover about my family and my past.

As we took on new homes, I took on new identities, passions, friends, schools, and more in addition to a family dynamic that shifted immensely. I felt removed from everywhere, as though there was no one place that defined me or I could relate to entirely. Too "American" when I originally moved to St. Croix and not "American" enough when I came to college.

​Not fitting in anywhere has caused me to become incredibly independent, confident and unique. However, I do crave a solid foundation and in that pursuit, I hope to tackle the emotions that come with my past as I uncover more about my family.
​
We'll get into all of these emotions as I become 23.

    Basically,

    I have a very interesting family dynamic. At this moment, I know that my mother's mother is from St. Kitts and my mother's father is from St. Croix.

    My father's mother is from St. Vincent and he did not know is father.

    Both of my parents, and myself, are from St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands. 

    My parents got divorced when I was 10 years old and as a result, I moved around a bit and grew up very differently.
    ​
    I did not spend time around a lot of family, nor do I know much about where we come from, so I've decided to start now.
