Belonging

Do you feel a sense of belonging in the city you are living in now?

To be honest, I don't.

I have been living in Taipei since I graduated from college to get a job in tech.

Two and a half years have passed, and I still have this thought in my mind - I don't want to take root here.

It's not a strong thought, like I hate this place or something, it just feels like something is missing.

I don't think it's only because Taipei is not the city I was born in.

I lived in Hualien for four years, and I felt a deep connection there.

Maybe it's because I don't have any close friends here?

Or maybe I just don't like the noise in the big city?

It's hard to tell.

But at least right now, I have no plans to quit my job.

I am thinking about moving to a quieter area next year and exploring the city a bit more to see how things will go.
