REASON

I have been living in London for 9 years. I then lived in Madrid for 2 years and now I am living in Toledo.

This is just me experimenting different ways to vent my emotions since I am quite an emotional person and I overthink everything. I try not to because I shouldn't take everything so "to the heart". This is just me talking about my experience of moving, people I have encountered, differences and anything that I may think is important to get off my chest. I want to share my experience because I think it is important. Not because of this story being about me but because this story is one not many can tell and I actually want to help others through this.

In this process of adaptation, I feel that I have hurt everyone who has come across my hateful, vengeful and pained self. I am still learning to look at the good and understand the bad. So before I start, I want to apologise beforehand for anything that may offend anyone but understand that I am still healing. I don't mean any of the things, that may offend you, seriously I just said or say these things in the spur of the moment.

I do wish to help other international students. I have always been good to listen to other people's problems and be the "hugging" friend, that was me trying to get out there and if you wish to talk I will read and tell you what my thoughts are. I had seen that there are no voices out there, talking about what we teenagers go through with these changes, there are just article after article or blog telling our parents what they must prepare themselves for. To this, I ask, we are the ones who are involved, first hand, and we should get some preparation for these things also. Whether the change was spontaneous or planned, we should all try out this international thinking  mind on for size. I think, if not all, but most would benefit from this experience.

As I mentioned earlier that I want to help others with this experience and hopefully make the adaptation process or "the worst part" more bearable. And as cheesy as it sounds, it gets better if YOU want it to.

The one thing that made me want to write this was to bring to people's attention that everyone is made up of their experiences in life and we can't all think that we are the center of anything. In this world, we share everything.

Why do big groups like the European Union exist? Because we are sharing our lives with others. In accordance, they are sharing theirs with you too. What is that phrase?? Oh yeah: "Sharing is caring."

So next time some random person (who you have never talked to) walks by you, be it in school or wherever, smile at them. Ask for their name and how has their day been. Try to be more understanding of them, put yourself in their shoes. What would they think or rather what is it that they could sense from you.

Are they quite, shy, boring, confident, spontaneous, weird, creepy, crazy, simple, silly or goofy, the typical clown, the try hard?

What do they like doing? Do they post a lot on Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter and so on?

How do you know these things if you have never talked to them? The answer is; you don't, it's impossible to know anything about them WITHOUT first GETTING TO KNOW THEM. Then and ONLY then can you decide; "I do:/don't like them. They are so ...

I just want to say this because, you know what? We are all going through the same whether you are popular, unpopular or in any other of these so called "social" groups.
