The past is another country. I can never remember who said that, but it feels so true. I'm not one for nostalgia, personally, but our memories can be kind to us. They are never accurate but are moulded into what suits us for that particular day, which can be quite nice (or sometimes not!)

I live in another country, so my feelings of nostalgia is sometimes overwhelming. I dream about my old childhood home and people I've known. But in the scheme of things I'm happy to have made a new life abroad and so grateful for video calls. I've another family, had to make new friends and negotiate a different language which was hard in the beginning. I'm now settled and happy but still have these huge waves of nostalgia sometimes.
