Reminiscing...

It has been three years already and it almost feels like it was just yesterday when Maverick arrived with dreams , apprehension and a fear of the unknown.
Europe has been kinder in ways more than one.It has embraced maverick with all its warmth and affection. A friend who does not speak my language communicates using signs! All this for nothing but a friendship with no strings attached. Such is the warmth of the people. They are not overtly friendly just for the heck of it.The culturals roots are embossed in each mind.
I may be getting my permanent residency status only now, but it already felt like home on day one.This is where I was destined to fulfill my dreams.The year gone by has been an year of many firsts! Some I can never forget in a lifetime.
Coming back to the home that is, an oft repeated cliche turns back to me. Having studied seasons in books, I could only witness them once I was here.Watching nature translate its euphoria into colours, is nothing short of a miracle.
Reminiscing about the past always brings sadness, but there is always a beautiful and promising day to look forward to.I am trying to hold on to the beauty and love for as long as I can.I am trying to build memories for times when I will look back with nostalgia albeit with happiness.
