Memories

Looking at the last Black & White post, really made me take a trip down memory lane and remember my days of innocence. Certain memories of how I met some of the great people I know today, memories of all the place I'v been in this great city, all the places I'v laughed, cried and truly made my mark.

I don't live here anymore, physically but my heart and soul will NEVER leave. 

I came back, after my goodbye, my goodbye to the city and all it's remarkable and unforgettable people. But I'm sad, I'm sad because although the city remains, the city feels empty, the people I once knew that made this city what it once was, have gone. They've gone to make their mark in other citys and towns. I no longer feel that warmth and love but I feel the bitter cold whip my face, my afternoons are no longer a blissful walk of laughter and fun with my friends but are instead spent in my living room couch while tuning into old TV tunes bantering on about things I don't really care about. I repeat it once again though.

"I don't live here anymore, physically but my heart and soul will NEVER leave."

My new city, is like a tree in new land. I don't know what it will look like, what it's leaves will look like, or how long it will live. It will only have my back it I care for it, nourishing it with my smiles, caring for it with grace and loving it like my child. I don't know the people here and they stare at me with unfamiliar faces, I stare out my window trying to find something that looks familiar without any luck. I do however, believe that once I grow into it, I will get to know this new place, I will make new memories with its people and I will have a new inspiration.

"Maputo, I don't live here anymore, physically but my heart and soul will NEVER leave."
