Episode Synopsis

In this episode of Mic on the Go, I reflect on the feeling of missing home — but also realizing that home has changed… or maybe, I’ve changed.I grew up in the Philippines, but now I’m here in the UAE. I still speak Bisaya, I still crave the food, I still remember the streets — but when I go back, something feels different. Maybe it’s me. Because I’m not just that girl from before… I’m layered now.I carry different languages, different beliefs, different dreams.I am Bisaya, but also Emirati.I was Christian, now I’m Muslim.I’m here, but also still there — in memory.This episode is for anyone who ever felt caught between homes, between versions of themselves, between past and present.Let’s talk about what it means to miss a place that no longer fits you the same way.
