#PersonalJournal : My morning was started with a misfortune. It was one of other bad days I got to face on the road. May I say that I’m actually in love with this town? I never thought I could fall for a place, not for a person at all. My heart is attached to a land where I still call myself as a stranger. I treasure sad and happy memories I’ve made here.
I couldn’t count how many times I met people who have been so kind to give me assistances when they were also in hurry and difficulty. I believe there is a happiness in every kindness. Being kind won’t make you lack anything but it can put a smile on your face and recharge your soul. That’s how I feel so far. This is a city of lovely things, not because it has high buildings, historical nor touristic destinations but the warmth and peace it could bring to my heart that makes it more impressive.
For all these years I’ve spent here, I cried and laughed out loud about many things. I wish I could scribe how this town made me feel every single day but I think I’ll only write whenever I find the right words to describe it. I wouldn’t reside here forever because I have the strong urge to uncover another place to welcome new experiences, somewhere to broaden my knowledge and to make me feel more alive.
Someday I will long for this town. It’ll always be my best discover for sure. Here I touched down with my broken wings and I am still recovering until I am able to fly like ever again. It was just broken wings but it will never break my dreams. Let’s see how I’m fully healed later and loving this town more than I could never imagine before.
