Dubai.
The place everyone wants to go with both a bad and good reputation. The middle east, scary? The gorgeous beaches and architecture? Or perhaps a separate opinion, one formulated by ME.
Dubai is unlike any place in the world. It has qualities of many cultures all wrapped into one. Westernization no doubt has dominated this area, enhanced by its wealth. I will most definitely miss this place. Due to business errors and foul play on behalf of companies, my adventure here ends rather soon. I sit in my place of work at this very moment, trying to memorize the essence of this location only to reminisce later on. The people. The traffic. The clubs. The buildings. The views. The feel. The wealth.
A genuine experience to say the least, one of which I declare to return to one day.
The area around me mocks me, teasing me with the woulda coulda shouldas. If only. What would my life be like. Being here has helped me realize that I merely TELL myself that I need friends and things I know, when in reality, I don't. If you remain open to the world, you realize how easy it is to be You, and then have everything else follow. 3 Months is the magic number. If you ever get to travel or move to a new place, you will learn that in 3 months time, you will fit in. You will have a life and a way of doing things. Comfortability.
India, now Dubai and Im sure I will doubt again only to hopefully recall this moment where I know I will always be okay. Time will take me to where I am supposed to go. So the question is what do I want to take with me as a reminder from this end. What to prevent, avoid, or embrace next time around. That is why I write. And that is why I must never forget who I am, who I was, and who I will never be again.
