#second gen immigrant

thanks, parents

I feel bad for my parents, im so grateful that they moved countries for me and my siblings so we could have a better upbringing then what Mexico could give us but seeing them call their family at big events knowing we cant be there with them its so sad. Its crazy expensive to fly a family over to Mexico I wonder what my life would be like if i lived there and it kinda sucks that my family over there know nothing about it sometimes i forget im even related to them i wish i could have a good family bond with them but they dont even know how old i am

Rare aesthetic: don't know enough about the culture of the country you come from, don't know enough about the culture of the country you spent your early childhood in, don't know enough about the culture of the country you've spent most of your life in

actually i have a thought. Does anyone else refrain from speaking their native language if someone talks to you in it??? Like i live in the US and I have had a few people talk to me in German, but I get SOOOO embarassed and then pretend that idk what the fuck they're saying 😭😭😭
