But basically when i say “am i shitty for not doing more” its about not doing more to aquire things. For not going above and beyond to own all the shiny things the cousins back home dream of. The pressure isnt to give back to the community, that is my lifes work, but rather…

Even I get flashes of this feeling in Russia, except fortunately for me, there isn’t any real pressure to it, because I’m not related to anyone here and don’t have the same kind of emotional obligations. It’s more…this sense of let-down from people that I’m not who they expected, and that I can’t give them vicariously the experience they wanted. More of an awkward cultural distance that translates into personal distance too.
