Sola otra ve-e-ez...

Parece que mi compañera de cuarto se ha ido de vacaciones sin avisar.

La compañera se fue
Buscando el sol en la playa
Con su maleta de piel
Y su bikini de rayas

No estoy segura por qué se fue pero tengo mis sospechas.
Quizá quedó satisfecha... ya le demostré que no la ignoro, que comprendo su silencio.
Bueno, de vez en cuando se conecta al chat como para que no me olvide de ella.
Pero por el momento estoy
Sola otra ve-e-ez...

I write

Some have complimented my writing, others have ignored it. I don't know if it's good or bad... and I've realized I don't really care. What I do know is that I have to write, even if it's only in my head. I need to articulate thought. Everyday, on every micro, during each shower, I type imaginary posts. Most of them I forget and stay stashed away in my subconscious. It's ok, I have space.

Te escucho

Te escuché, no creas que no.
¿Pero quién soy yo para opinar?
No me considero más inteligente que vos como para darte concejos.
Mi ego no es tan grande como para pensar que podría tener la respuesta a tus problemas.
Lo que no sé es si prefieres que te diga algo... aunque no te ayude en nada
O si prefieres que me quede callada.
Solo quiero que sepas que lo que dije o no dije
Fue porque me importas
Y quiero lo mejor para ti.
Lo siento que a veces eso no es suficiente.

3rd Culture Kid

Characteristics

There are different characteristics that impact the typical Third Culture Kid:

• TCKs are 4 times as likely as non-TCKs to earn a bachelor's degree (81% vs 21%)
• 40% earn an advanced degree (as compared to 5% of the non-TCK population.)
• 45% of TCKs attended 3 universities before earning a degree.
• 44% earned undergraduate degree after the age of 22.
• Educators, medicine, professional positions, and self employment are the most common professions for TCKs.
• TCKs are unlikely to work for big business, government, or follow their parents' career choices. "One won't find many TCKs in large corporations. Nor are there many in government ... they have not followed in parental footsteps".
• 90% feel "out of sync" with their peers.
• 90% report feeling as if they understand other cultures/peoples better than the average American.
• 80% believe they can get along with anybody.
• Divorce rates among TCKs are lower than the general population, but they marry older (25+).
  • Military brats, however, tend to marry earlier.
• Linguistically adept (not as true for military ATCKs.)
  • A study whose subjects were all "career military brats"—those who had a parent in the military from birth through high school—shows that brats are linguistically adept.
• Teenage TCKs are more mature than non-TCKs, but ironically take longer to "grow up" in their 20s.
• More welcoming of others into their community.
• Lack a sense of "where home is" but often nationalistic.
• Some studies show a desire to "settle down" others a "restlessness to move".
• Depression and suicide are more prominent among TCK's.
