Honestly I don’t even know what I would count it as. I’ve spent more of my life over here in the states than I have back in England

And saying that is weird because I was actually born in Scotland so I’ve never really stayed where I was born

I’m a foreigner no matter where I go!

And yet, I always see you as an English girl in the USA. Turns out you're Scottish! I'm so confused...

My best friend at school went to New Zealand when we were in 4th year.
Another friend went to New Zealand when we were in our 20s, lived there for 15 years and then came back.
I have lots of friends in the States from when I worked there but they lived there any way so it was me who moved back here.

My best friend from primary moved from east London to Corringham, Essex - about 20 miles away - when we were about ten. It felt like she'd gone to Mars, I was inconsolable for aaages.

My Uncle emigrated many years ago to Australia and my Cousins obviously live there. 2 of my nephews have now settled there.

I sometimes wish I had done the same thing. However family kept me here..but family ties can break down so my advice to anyone is to live YOUR life...you are only here once.
