Exploring a familiar place

My brother and I are the first generation of my family born in the US. My parents grew up in Puerto Rico where they met, got married, and eventually departed after joining the US military. A bi-cultural upbringing is an old story. Although I spent most of my childhood visiting the island, it never quite felt like home. In the spring of 2023, I moved back to Puerto Rico for a series of months to cultivate my own relationship with this familiar place.
