Matt shares the quiet complexities of being raised in a household shaped by European values while living in a fast-paced American city. His reflections cover everything from family expectations to what it means to feel “in-between” cultures. It’s a story that highlights how heritage is carried—not just through rituals, but through memory, mannerisms, and mindset.
As he talks about the ways he’s stayed connected to his roots and where he’s chosen to evolve, we get a thoughtful perspective on cultural continuity. It’s not about being one or the other—but about building a bridge between both. His honesty invites others to reflect on how identity is shaped by more than just place—it’s shaped by people, choices, and love.
