There and back again

I guess it gets kind of depressing posting about the same things over and over again, and it is because no one bothers reading it. That makes it even more depressing, for me it does anyway. So now I am going to write about things other than being sad and broken hearted. I am going to write about what it feels like coming back home, to a place where I sort of grew up in and seeing the people that matters to me again.

It seemed like years since I left London - though it's only been a year and four months - and I thought of coming back, of course but years later. I thought wrong. I was given the opportunity to come back after a year and let me tell you this, it was great. Better than great, it was precious. It was even more precious when my wonderful girls; Viviane, Afusat & Lizzy came all the way to Heathrow to pick me up and boy let me tell you, the look on their faces when they saw me was beyond priceless. I was lost in words.

Moments went by, I met my wonderful Jay and walked around Central with him. Literally walked from Oxford Street to London Eye (the Jubilee Garden) and back again to Oxford Circus. It was tiring, but it was worth it. Time flew by just like that and we did was just talk. Catching up with him was good, and it feels almost heartbreaking when it was time to say goodbye. I spent time with Orgil, Travis, Salim, Paulius and Farruh. That was a good day too. It was cold though, that was the only downside about it really.

It felt.. Surreal. To me, it wasn't just a vacation where "Oh I'm in London again," it's more like "I'm back home." Back home to a place where I belonged and welcomed with warm hugs and smiles. That's how it felt going back. But I can't deny, I like where I am now too. I may have not spend most of my years here but there are years and years to come (if God wills it) and it's full of adventures. Life here is full of adventures. Even the bad kind, it's just a part of the it I suppose.

I like using the word 'adventure'. What I'm basically trying to say is that the people in my life - regardless of whether it's a stranger, someone close or someone that I am yet to know - they are all a part of my life's adventure. Many more memories to be made, many more rough situation to face but you know what? That's okay. It's okay because that's how it works. It's all just an adventure.

There's always a silver lining. Always have faith, and be positive. If it's anything you taught me, it's to always find the silver lining.

If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all.
