Super reflective! Recognizable :) The tuning fork analogy is a great find.
Perhaps the temporal aspect of identity plays a role too in finding that balance (or picking the right subsets of cultures)? You mentioned seasonal - I mean adolescence, adulthood, parenthood, senescence. And I’m writing this now from the middle of nowhere in China - countries/cultures change too (albeit not as drastically).
Great reflective article - I've recently moved across to sydney and am wondering what exactly encapsulates this city. Lots of thoughts.

Thanks for writing!
Thanks, Michael. That is a good point about different stages of life, perhaps different cultures suit us better as we grow older.
Often people return to where they started in the last years of their life, doing a full circle, albeit I doubt I will be one of those
