Packing!

We are packing! After almost 5 years I am returning home.

Five years ago I arrived in the UK with a huge emptiness and deep sadness, a huge desire to forget what made me leave my country and feel happy again, it took me longer than I thought to make this possible, but with the time, the pains I brought with me disappeared.

Uk taught me a lot, made me grow as a person, made me accept the differences between people and cultures, realize that even far away there are people who never change and will always be by your side, or who don't and that's ok too.

I realized that people come and go, and you have to enjoy the time while you have it, because tomorrow will be another day to say goodbye to someone who is going to leave, and how many goodbyes I had to say in this country.

Now it's my turn to leave, and it's someone's turn to say goodbye to me, I never thought I'd make so many good friends, people I'll carry in my heart for the rest of my life, and every time I think about it feels a little sad and almost a sense of loss, a sense of knowing that some of them I'll never see again, because that's the way life is.

I will never forget all the parties, concerts, events, boring days, busy days in one of the busiest cities in the world, I will never forget either the silence and emptiness during the countless lockdowns. The long walks in the park, on the canal, across the city riding a bmx, the different foods and beers I tasted.

Now, starting to say goodbye, I realized how important London was in my path, and I see that it could never have been different, I needed to go through all this experience, all the losses, the happiness to become what I am today, as a woman, as a human being.

I’ll never forget Uk and I don’t know what the future will bring, but for now it’s time to go Home.
