Appreciate the small things.
Cultural differences are hard to cope with. Especially when you used to live in a completely different country / world for half a year and then come back and find yourself in your old / new surrounding. Old because those people are your beloved ones, your friends and you missed them a lot. They are new though, because you sometimes don't understand anymore their way of talking, their way of behaving and you ask yourself 'Why are WE like that?'
Of course I miss a lot about Mozambique and I would say part of my heart is Mozambican. And as my friends from there always said: "In her heart she's black." It's not about their color, it's more about their attitude and behavior.
Well, I'm happy about my life here. I'm grateful for a hot shower, for food in the fridge, for friends who love me and who care about me, for family, for nature and for the easiness that the western world brings with.
Maybe we should all think more about what we have rather than about we don't have. Cause I can tell you we have such a diversity wherever we go whatever we want to buy....
<3 We live the good life and we should appreciate it much, much more!
