A man with two nations

Hi, I'm Chris (actually my name is D. but i prefer using Chris), i'm both Italian and Brazilian, I was born in Rio de Janeiro but i live and study in Rome. I've been here in Rome for more than 10 years ... and that's pretty much the first time i feel homesick, well tbh i've felt that way before but for a few time and never felt so deeply homesick.
I'm missing Brazil a lot, it all started with music, everyday before going to school and after leaving it i listen to some brazilian songs on my mobile phone, then i found this amazing song on youtube i used to listen to when i lived in Rio, it's called "Nosso sonho nao è ilusao" by So pra contrariar, then I heard about my cousins (who live in Brazil) applying to cool and important schools and i started to wonder ... how my life would be if i were in Brazil? But from the other side I love Italy, i've been living here for more than 10 years ... that's my home as well ! I have friends here, i have school here ... I have a life here ! The truth is i can't even tell how appropriate it is to call it "homesick" considering i'm actually in my home !! I'm a man with two nations. So changing point of view: Is it possible to miss a home when you are in another home of yours? What do you think about that?
