I grew up between Canada, Lebanon, and Syria, moving through a life that once felt clear and stable, where the answer to that question seemed obvious.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt wasn't.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough memories of summers in Lebanon, family gatherings that felt endless, and moments that once defined what \"home\" meant to me, I begin to notice the subtle shifts I had ignored for years. Conversations change. People leave. The same places start to feel different. What once felt permanent slowly becomes uncertain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNothing happens all at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt happens quietly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA financial crisis that reshapes relationships. Distance that grows without being spoken about. A single moment that makes everything feel fragile in a way it never did before.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd slowly, without realizing it, my answer begins to change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is not a story about one event or one place. It's about what it feels like to belong somewhere, and then to question that belonging. To hold onto memories while recognizing they no longer reflect the present. To understand that identity is not fixed, but something that shifts with time, experience, and perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause sometimes, the hardest part isn't answering the question.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's realizing you no longer can.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tarek Kanny\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1069824305\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781069824301\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Tarek Kanny\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/08\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 102\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.21d","brand":"Tarek Kanny","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":50665401876735,"sku":"9781069824301","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_79327566-e690-42bc-bb86-d122e815e5b9.jpg?v=1792011787","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/where-are-you-from-really-tarek-kanny-9781069824301","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
