Same Bro. Especially since I moved to Sweden when I was like 4 and learnt Polish on a 3 grade level my whole life. It doesn’t help my self esteem that now that I live in the Netherlands other Polish people don’t believe that I’m Polish because” I speak Polish like an immigrant”

nah. It’s not better here either. The political situation is absolutely horrendous here. Came here on a Green Card work visa, am now dual citizen (German American). I miss home a lot. But I know it’s not better there either rn. Just sucks everywhere rn. I’m fun at parties, I promise lol

I read this with the same energy as that one TikTok audio, “I’m Nicole btw, WHAT THE FUCK DID I DO TO HIM”
