I don't love NY but I do love Odense

People who know me are conscious that I am never cheesy or sensitive. I act like this kind of bastard saying “don’t give a shit” to everything. But just for today, forgive me if I’m more melodramatic that I am usually. Maybe you can blame the coffee or the so sweet muffin from DSB.

DSB muffins are so good

One time I heard that home is where your heart is. Even if I still feel like a stranger trying to do my best to introduce myself in this cold country, when I am back to home this feeling just fades away. So my home is not where I live. Currently I live in Roskilde (being more precise, I live in the middle of nowhere in a place called Trekoner) but I don’t feel that’s my home. It’s grey, cold and different. Well, the whole Denmark it’s grey, cold and different but there’s a place which bright with a different light. There it’s where my home is. This place is Odense.

My closest friends really know that I’m keen on big cities but from time to time I find a place a small place where I really feel comfortable. In the past was Oxford and currently is Odense. H.C. Andersens byen er stedet, der jeg mangler når jeg vil slappe af og have de hyggeliste tider.

Sometimes we tend to think that we are foreigners in a new country we are alone. As an Erasmus student I might say that I feel alone and I don’t have my family next to me. But I found a new family. It’s a Danish family that doesn’t hesitate to help you whenever you need. It’s not necessary to say names. They do know who they are.

I am so happy because I have to families so if I’m in Spain or in Odense I’ll never feel alone. A good Spanish friend of mine told me once that it’s not bad to be alone. Being alone gives you time to think, reflect and take care of you. The big problem is being to feel lonely. In Denmark, for sure that I don’t feel like that. In Odense I am always with my friends, therefore I am not alone. And in Roskilde I know they are next to me and they care about me, so there’s no need to feel lonely.

Perhaps we are not the best one showing our feelings and saying how much we appreciate each other, but most of the time it’s enough with actions.

I don’t need a lot of things in Odense, only Odense.
