Chapter 1: Feels like Home :)

Chapter 1: Feels like Home 🙂

Ever since i’ve unexpectedly moved to Amman, i didnt know what to expect. For me Amman was just a place where i go on hoilday every 2-3 years… meeting family… enjoying weddings… and being a tourist!. When the unexpected news from my parents popped up… i was shocked! i mean im going to be leaving everything behind.. thats besides my clothes and books…BUT My friends! My school! My road! and My life! i didnt know what it would ever feel like to live here but to be honest i was up for the challenge and i was exicted!

But there was a problem! a BIG problem…. what am i going to tell my firends?! they think im coming back…. i mean we had so much planned… to take the same classes together…to apply for university…to visit new places in our hoildays and much more! i was afraid i didnt know how to begin to tell them!.. mainly my best firend.. i mean she hasn’t got anyone but me..i mean we understand eachothers emotions and feelings plus we have known eachother since the 5th grade… we went through happy and bad times together..we are considered to be sisters!. i didnt have the guts! not at all! …

I picked up the phone to call her.. and i said…. ” i wont be coming back.. im staying here with my family….” the reaction was unbelievable!… it had a great effect not only on my best firend but her family too… they have been used to all the times we spent together…. ramadhan, Eid, birthdays,hoildays and sleepovers…for the past 9 years… i felt like i was one of them. Her brothers were mine.. her sisters were mine and my mother was mine.

The unexpected news shocked everyone back in oxford! Everyone!… It was my little hometown… the little roads i walked in are all pictured in my head…the creepy shortcuts home and the amazing places. i never thought i will ever value these places untill they were gone. There was a sense inside me telling me that i am going back… and Amman isnt my home..even though my family is here, my culture and my history… but ive never lived here…i dont know what people do for fun…how you supposed to act what you supposed to say and what you definitely cannot say! i left everything behind, and for the first time ever i felt homesick to a country that’s not mine. I tried hard to forget the fact that i was staying here in Amman… i kept lying to myself that this is just going to be a hoilday… a very long one.
