Between dimensions

Two different timelines, living one…visiting the other one when I can

One familiar, the other new but feels more like home…a reality that could have been.

I am often seen as a foreigner in both worlds. I have come to accept this… maybe we are all bridges between these two worlds.

At each moment I decide where I belong. Many try to tell me who I am, but the truth is that I am from here and there. Soy de acá y allá.

Try to place me in one of your categories, so you can feel at ease, you will find you cannot…I am multidimensional.

My story, identity and most authentic self transcends any limitations you may place upon me.

As I traveled back and forth from the country that raised me and the country where I was born, many times I became lost…but found my truest self at the same time. I have missed you. I am remembering.

Journeying between two dimensions, two families, two countries... feels like a small death each time. I understand now that all of the tears, grief, loss of myself were all part of the process to a newer version of me…a rebirth.

With love and conviction, I embrace this new pathway that has formed between all aspects of myself to help me navigate these dimensions. The road is easier to travel now and can share that there is laughter, hope and a beautiful integration along the way if we allow it.

In the end, the home I was looking for and creating was actually always in me.
