Hi Alexis - welcome to Openhand.
There are many different types of souls connecting here, including incarnated angels. Yes, it's a challenge when you feel distanced from home.

I'd say the key is to bring home here - inside yourself. Personally I read synchronicity a great deal and commune with my 'home team' in that way.

It would be worthwhile watching our 5GATEWAYS film - it shares the stages of evolutionary ascension - which then helps understand the mission here...

Wishing you well
