Yes finally time to write this blog, about a topic I wanted to write a longtime "Where I live" and over the years it became home...
I must say I like where I live now, I really do I know it is not very conventional to say I like living in Male but I guess I do.
Yub it is; overcrowded, to many cars and bikes, a lack of good restaurants, good shops, entertainment option, when it rains the streets are turned in to rivers, people who make staring to a olympic sport the occasional demonstrations and the some other interesting eyebrow raising events that are happing in this place.
But still I like this place, but why asked a friend of mine, well good question so I was tolling with this in my head "what makes a city or country feel like home" so what is it?
Well a part of the answer was given by a very good friend of mine last December, when he asked me why I was gloomy, well as it was before christmas I kind of missed to spend time with my family and friends back in home. He just answered don't feel like that you have now good friends here who care about you and like to spend time with you and are there for you at any time... This was really nice to hear.
This made me think a bit further and I came to the conclusion it does not matter where u live, how the city looks like, how many museums there are, how cool the entertainment is, or how many good restaurants and shops there are, etc. But it has everything to do with people very simple with people. They are the friends that make any place livable, with them you are creating memories giving faces to normally anonymous streets and buildings, they make you feel that you belong "people give a place a face a character" either positive or negative that is.
What I try to say is I feel at home here because I have wonderful friends, they inspire, teach me, guide me, keep me sane and make this place unique and home. Think about this if you come back from holiday you will not say wow I have missed the STO building so much right, bud you will have missed your best friends right.
See that is the point people make the place not building, cars, restaurants, shops, etc they help to shape the place but it is people who are the key to make a place home.
This it why do I like to live here because I got to know amazing people here and many of them turned out to become very dear friend.
So to all of my friend here thank you for being in my life and making this my home...
