A bit of home
I got this opportunity today on October 25th. My friend Saška came to Victoria with her amazing host family from Chilliwack where she is also on a year exchange program. Knowing her since grade 6 and not seeing her for 3 months I was super excited to see her! Being able to speak Slovak again was hard and I guess I somehow forgot how to speak in my own language! We did some (window) shopping and for 5 hours I felt like home again. And I guess these small moments help me go through it all. Being able to feel home even when being on the other side of the World is great! She gave me the comfort I was seeking for, for really long without even realising. When I sadly got on the ferry on my way to my island I felt better and stronger than I did before leaving to see her! She gave me the strength to hold on cause I know I have her here, even when she is still pretty far away :D.
Bringing a piece of your old home to your new home may be sad and probably you will cry like i did when the car with her left but also moments like this help you a lot! And after this amazing day I am ready to go on, also thanks to her! <3 Love you Saši
And I got to meet a great German girl Alicia! You rock girl!! It was great meeting you and I hope to see you again sometimes! Thanks for an unforgettable day!
