as opposed to

i never realized how weird it is sometimes to hang out with people who aren't from the same place you're from. i often feel like a fish out of water in the US, as though only people from my specific town in puerto rico REALLY understand everything about me, everything i feel and stand for.

maybe that's why i fell in love 100 times last night, why i felt like i was home. or maybe it's cause i was drunk.
