The norm

I've noticed that since I've moved here, for some reason feeling like an outsider isn't that bad. It seems to be alright, somewhat comforting even. However, in Florida, it was not. I started extrapolating on this thought and asking why?

Why is it ok here, but not there? From what I could come up with it was because I seem to have a relationship, or at least the illusion of one with the place from which I came. It is as though I was birthed from there, where yes I was and I remained there for my entire non-adult life, but I am not the genetic make up of that area... I am human, though others there are human, they come from foreign places. Foreign to the area, so therefore I should not base my un-normal behavior on such peoples.

So, what happens when there is a continuous influx of people? The norm changes and so, my peoples are gone. However, I think I will find them again, in a different form. As life has changed me, it has changed them too.
