London, sweet London

Ah, it’s so good to be home. Home is where you know where everything is and where it smells like you and where you control your Google Home with your phone. I missed home.

I missed London with its ‘copy-paste’ houses and its fresh air. I missed the streets and the sound of the city. I missed the sunny London weather. I also missed a restful sleep - that 2 hours delay with Romania just messes with my brain.

I will miss Baia Mare, friends, and family again. I will miss Viva the Dog. I will miss driving. I will miss the Youth Centre. But I’ll be back to visit them, soothe my dor*, then return here. This is my home.

*’dor’ is considered an untranslatable word from Romanian. Its meaning is similar to ‘missing someone/something’ or ‘longing’.
