Where The Heart Belong

I have LIVED in Nairobi for most of my life, except for 6 months of my life. I lived by the sea and it was the best experience ever. And I can't wait to go and grow old near the ocean. I love the coastal region, one day I'll settle in Negril Jamaica, and live happily ever, but for now, my favorite destination has always been Kilifi, there is just something special about this town for me. When am there my entire being is complete. I have this peace that I can't explain by words. And the people are just amazing like I have known them my entire life. To me, Kilifi will forever be home. It would be where my heart would live.

Home is where your heart is and that is why you hear that a lot. I know people that have lived in London, Australia, and America, but still, come back to Kenya. It is about finding that place where you feel peace, and where you feel like you can call it home. It is a place where the thought of going there makes you smile and giddy and gives you that sense of home.

Do you love where you live? I’ve lost many people that I loved while living in Nairobi and although a lot of my history is wrapped up in this city, I want a fresh start and a lot of people want that too.

To be honest and I would suggest this to anyone, go out to places that you love, that keep being on your mind, and that you love to learn about. See if you love that place, see if you can see a future in this place and that it’s more than just a fascination with a holiday destination. If you find the place that you know you love, that you want to call home then do everything and anything in your power to get to it.

Don’t just think that you can’t do it because you can do anything if you set your mind to it. Don’t moan about how things aren’t changing and that your dreams aren’t being done, do something about it. Like the old saying, if you don’t like it, change it.

Finding a home is something that everything should be done. Don’t settle with the feeling that you should stay around. Find where you belong because if you don’t, you’ll always have those what-ifs and you’ll wonder if that place was really home to you.

Just because you live somewhere, does not make it your home. It just makes it your house or current living situation, but when you know you belong somewhere and your heart is in the right place, happy, then you know that this is your home. That is where you belong and yes, you may have family in another town or city or country, but they should want you to be happy, and being somewhere that isn’t home won’t make you happy. Be happy and be yourself.

Follow your dreams. Find your HOME with your HEART, not your HEAD.
