Am thinking about how there is no place on Earth where I don't sound at least a little foreign when I speak... This wasn't always true; when I was a child, my pronunciation in my first language was perfectly standard, but now I use that language so little that I have to consciously think about my pronunciation to get it 'correct' (otherwise I start accidentally imitating random provincial accents, which almost certainly appears ridiculous). And I'm not sure I ever had a single natural accent speaking English; it varies wildly depending on how stressed I feel and whom I've listened to recently, and doesn't match any geographical location.

I don't mind it, but it's still strange to think that the only country to which I'm legally tied is the United States, and that the country to which going feels like returning home requires me to have a visa to do so. I'll probably spend almost all the rest of my life in the U.S. anyway because the employment prospects here are much better. But sometimes I see advertisements or whatever in my first language and I miss something that was never really mine and never will be.

(This sounds much more negative than I intended, really... I'm very lucky to 'belong to' the United States, for all its flaws, and I know there are so many people who would give an arm and a leg to be in my position. But my emotional response doesn't always reflect that.)
