Been home for a week and it has been a beautiful experience. I won’t ever move back but to see and appreciate my hometown has been eye opening. Just go back, even if it’s just a one time thing and you never return, you’ll find something beautiful about the place that raised you.
I was always thinking about how much I wanted to leave this Irish town growing up, but have begun seeing this place so differently ever since my international friends spoke about visiting. I started looking for interesting parts of it they might like, and turns out there are a lot. It’s really something to be proud of
whether it’s from the clerb or from your country of residence, going home is a boss move I live in Amsterdam and haven’t been back to Malaysia, my home, in almost 2 years. being back again now, just wow. the world is under a warm-sepia tone, food has unimaginable flavour, and people are swaggier than ever :))
I wasn’t born here, but I was raised here & I used to resent that about my upbringing. I didn’t understand why I had to be raised away from my culture in a place that only made me feel alien but now that I’m older I’m finally beginning to appreciate it. I was raised here but I’m seeing this city in a way that I never have before. It’s so serene & quaint. I love how many local coffee shops we have & how rich we are in grass & trees. I love that my identity makes me unique, & it’s refreshing to meet other people like me in this southern, suburban city. It’s lovely here.
Don’t be that person. Mf got a banana and a Celsius, something is going down and they need to make a quick exit. You got mad vegetables anyway, let the cashier breathe a little before they struggle to remember how to ring up them green onions you copping.
Nothing better than giving someone a little squeeze to show them you got them. It’s always great when someone can sense that you need it and add a little something to the hug. Don’t settle for a dap. Get in there.
I have no context at all but I love it. Feels like I’m missing out but that’s alright it’s just good to hear somebody having a big ol belly laugh and enjoying this shit while we’re breathing.
