It’s so strange to yet be a teenager and have had enough time on this earth to have “old friends”. These familiar faces are encouraging markers of growth. Individuals become more than a person in a different place but rather one that you’ve been blessed with the opportunity to share memories. Last time I was here, a good 4 or 5 years ago, Mea – along with a few other friends- and my siblings hung out almost every day. We would swim and trash (with legos) my mom’s friends home. Seriously, we played with legos everywhere. all day. everywhere.
In e u r o p a, it is more common for students to be world travelers. The common person understands that the world is larger than what they’ve grown accustomed and realizes the importance of learning through experience. This firsthand, adventure form of exposure forces adaptation to new bacteria and cultures( didja catch that?). Mea has been to many countries and of all, she prefers Barcelona in Espania. So far, my favorite city is Budapest in Hungary. It’s a city that is quiet enough. Intelligence is valued and gelato can be shaped into a rose and remain affordably priced. Pizza is ridiculously good. It is enjoyable to watch soccer with the people( yea, saw the FIFA semi finals at a pizzeria there, once upon two fifa’s ago).
Ma mere and her old squad. They survived a technical high school and all work in EE for the rail systems.
The break room is well lit, with many toys to play with.

Ma mere wanted to visit her high school principal.
One Direction told her to stare at the ground. So she did.
The lift with two sassy queens #mylife
She’s an elderly, wise woman. She is stern and strong. She is beauty.
And she told me not to dye my hair white so obviously, ma mere said “amen”.
She also told us to beware of Italian men and their ways. Unlike the many others who have said the same, she paired her warning with advice:
Out-smart them
….football… not legit futbal..
Old age
