I feel at home in my apartment with my husband and dog
I feel at home in my parent's house
I feel at home in the house where I grew up
I feel at home in my grandmother's apartment in my hometown
It is like my heart has been broken into pieces and scattered
and I leave a piece of it over there when I leave
and another piece brightens when I get here
How am I a mix of these?
Not truly whole without the other
Familia + Husband
Hablar espanol + Reading in English
Tequenos + Pizza
Profiterol + Nutella
La Muralla + Costco
Gaitas + Taylor Swift
Chupe January 1st + Thanksgiving
Farmatodo + Walgreens
Palmolive + Dove
Platanitos + Sour cream and onion pringles
Cruz Diez + Lincoln
Playa Azul + Ft Lauderdale Beach
Finca + Hiking
Limpiador de pocetas m.a.s. + Charmin
Neblina + Snow
Arepa + Verizon 5G
Nancymar + Target
Pan Canilla + Amazon deliveries
Queso + Xfinity internet
I sometimes feel not enough Venezuelan or not enough American
But that is the beauty of it
I am both.
