Monday Memories – Where I live!

I can hardly believe it, but it´s true, I have now lived in Chile for one whole year. I have not been to the US, nor seen most of my friends or family in more than one whole year. Loco.

Much has happened in this year. I´ve gone from an English professor to finally utilizing my degree, I´ve improved my Spanish skills tenfold, made new friends and have really come to love Santiago.

I came here the second time for love, but before I made the move, I asked myself, would I still be able live there without love? Is there more for me there than simply feelings? Well, the answer was and is yes. This year has taught me patience and heartache, along with strength and what it´s truly like to live in the “real world.” Love didn´t work out, but I´m still here, making it, and generally quite content with it all. It´s not always been easy though, and from the bottom of my heart, I thank my parents´ for their continued love and support.

As I said in an earlier phlog, I don´t know exactly what the next step is, the next piece to my puzzle, but I´m sure having a great time figuring it all out.

I chose this phlog for today´s Monday memory, because I´m proud of where I live. I absolutely adore this city and for now, it´s the place that I call home.

…and this is where I live
