Temporary TCKid Home

Hey everyone, Clark Levykh here, age 25, living currently in Vancouver Canada. Part of my story is that I definitely don’t feel that I belong anywhere in Canada, I’ve been right across this country and most of the people (from my experience) are VERY anti-social and egotistical, it’s absolutely horrendous.

Here’s the link to my latest blog post. I would love to hear what your transition was like when you went to university or college.

Okay, I must admit, I have been reluctant to make this blog post, primarily because I do not want my fellow TCK’s to think that they are guaranteed to experience what I went through. It is important to remember that we all deal with life issues differently, even as TCKs. It was while I was […]

 Note: Comments are from Michael Pollock Love that poem and the what the character, Aragorn, stands for- a person who stands to inherit much, yet makes his own way for a time in part to protect those he would one day lead and in part out of his own fear of failing to live up […]
