"Many years have gone,
I glance back to see
Growing up here was good
Many people say that don't you ever forget it.
Try to come back soon."
It's always somewhat weird coming back home to Sarajevo, it seems like so long ago that I lived here, I love it here, I do. But it always makes me think of everything I have been through, all the changes, all the things I have done, all the things I wanna do, all the things I desperately want to get done, but just never seem to get done. So I dunno, makes me think being back here. Being here always makes me question everything I am doing, what I am doing with my life, the people in my life. But usually it just brings back great memories. A lot of great memories and great things happened down here, I loved living here. But that is in the past now, which is weird to think about. It was where I learnt how to speak English, make my first best friend, my first kiss, first time I fell in love, first time I shaved my legs, first time I got my legs waxed, first time I on purpose made someone else cry. All events I think about when I am back here, maybe not in that exact order, but I am pretty sure they all pop into my head when I am left here too long.
But whenever I think about Bosnia, I start thinking about IB and all the great people I had the pleasure of meeting when I moved back to Norway, I do miss them a great deal, I miss high school, it was so easy back then, even though we didn't think so. Not that my life is uber hard right now, it was easier to just have to think about the future, like it was some far off thing that we would never catch up to, but now that it's actually here. Its a little different. Working, living alone, being in a different country then my family is weird, not that I wasn't expecting it, it's just different when it actually happens.
But a lot of great memories!
I miss you all!
We do need an IB reunion soon. (:
