No. I've always been British since I was born. I've been "permanently" integrated in the UK for 12 years... Whatever that even means! You have no idea idea what you're talking about. Being both Cypriot and British is permanent. I was literally born this way.https://twitter.com/DanielRathbun/status/1032504848363806720 …

I apologize. I didn't mean to offend. To the contrary, I was trying to express solidarity and encouragement. I am from the US and have lived in Germany for 9 years. Ithasbeen hard, but it has also gotten better. May I ask, are you homesick for the UK or Cyprus?

Of course, you're welcome. Cyprus sounds lovely. Would love to visit some day. I hope you can eventually feel at home again, whether that is returning to Cyprus, or your experience in the UK or elsewhere getting better. Feeling like you no longer have a home really sucks.

Yeah, we bought a house here and it's not that I don't feel at home it's that sometimes homesickness comes in waves. I think the peace process in Cyprus or just thinking about the war can trigger it. I'm sure visiting might stave off another 2 years too.

Heh. I get it. That's kind of how I feel about the US. Left after George Bush, missed Obama's full term, trying to come home during Trump's term. Home just doesn't feel right anymore. But I still miss it.

It's complex. I wish I had been accepted by Cypriots and/or the Cypriot government growing up. Would certainly heal some wounds. Might be getting a passport in the next few months... The law has changed and "Cypriot" is not partilineal anymore.

Oh wow. I had No idea about those issues of Cypriot citizenship. I just knew that Greece and Turkey have been fighting over Cyprus and messing it up forever.

We also do a pretty good job messing ourselves up.
