it has been a few weeks since i have returned to my home country after a couple of years abroad. and the feeling has been surreal. it has been a quiet homecoming. but i prefer it that way. i realise that the more things change the more they stay the same. things have moved on. have become more expensive. people have become more selfish. but my optimism still remains. the time has come for me to give back. and i do so gladly. to friends. to strangers. to anybody willing to receive or listen. time is precious. and we forget that too often. life flashes by in the blink of an eye and then there is no tomorrow. but i would like to change that. i would like to live with greater passion. for my people. and for my country.
