Get over yourself
Move on
Live your life
Not holding on
Stop dreaming
And fantasising
No hallucinations here
Its not a maybe
Its not a someday
Think current - this is your life
Yours are already there
Existing for you
No emotional procrastination
No undisciplined thinking
Stop rehearsing what isnt going to be
Stop confusing a dream with destiny
There is no parallel universe
Live the life you are actually in
Make this one meaningful
So stand up tall
keep on moving
And ******* get a grip

Love built across continents
Identity stretched to its limits
Embracing another culture
Whilst clasping onto the original.
Balancing tradition and family expectations
Sacrificing inner parts of yourself
To meet another's idea of respect.
Age old traditions emerge
Bringing questions to surface
What is, who is, where is, how and why?
The emotional pull extends
Upbringings, identity and freedom.
Invisible cultural assumptions arise
At the moment of disagreement
Bringing excuses and accusations.
Misunderstood pressure bubbles underneath
Bottled up homesickness.
Meanwhile the change embeds itself within
Stuck between, neither here or there.
Home or abroad, love is...
...where the heart is.
