Aloha,
Many people ask a returned Peace Corps volunteer how they feel and what is it like to return. I am in touch via email with a volunteer who returned from Mongolia and here is a quote from an email. This echos so true to my own experience that it sums up so much in so few words. We are all torn between worlds.
> I'm torn between two worlds I guess. I get bored easily with life here, I see it as just
> working to pay bills. I need to get overseas occasionally to feel alive again.
For some of us lucky few, it is so easy to just get work and pay the bills with not much of challenge. So than what? We all want to feel alive, that frisson of excitement and meaning to wash over us in one unending tide and torrent of life.
