So I moved quite a few years ago on account of my parents (I was 12), and I really did not wanna move away from my home and had a long period of severe depression because of it. The cultural differences is something I haven't gotten used to even now and I hate where I live, (from the middle of nowhere in the woods to a huge city on the other side of the country).
I hold onto my origin very strongly since it feels like the only thing I have left that makes me happy, and it's important for my self identity. But the problem is that I don't even feel like I belong to anything anymore, people question me because I don't have a strong accent and because it's been so long since I moved/I was quite young people like to tell me I'm not really that anymore.
I know this might be a silly thing to be upset about, but it's getting to bad every time someone mentions where I'm from I wanna cry. I don't know what to do to feel better, I can't move back yet because I have to finish studying and that's atleast a couple more years

Just start hiking and biking dipshit. Get a landscape job. Make moving to the country a goal you push yourself with.

I would hike all the time if I could, but I can't because I'm busy studying. Moving is a goal though

Get a job landscaping to pass the time then.

Perhaps. It might be good to get myself to go outside and actually do something

Think of landscaping as learning experience. Use it to reflect. Is the path youre currently on optimized for a city experience? If yes, you may want to consider dropping school and picking up a trade so that you can transition back to the country smoothly.
