before i'll start writing i just want to thank everyone reading this for giving me some of their time

I have been raised in a house where my parents were over protective which means i have been everything but independant my mom used to keep me from going to school trips and activities and she wouldn't let me go out past 8 or do basic things by myself she has been a great mom that's for sure but i grow up to be a girl who's afraid of trying anything new by herself 

after spending 19years back home ,suprisely i had to move almsot 2000Km away from my small city !!! That was too much to process i kept thinking about all the things that could go wrong and i freaked out ! ( can you blame me? )

i had to move to tangier , a city that i've never been to and no one of my relatives live in it . Am I really going to handle this ? Am I going to have good friends ? the weather ? who's going to cook for me and clean and and and . the (and)s didn't stop crossing my mind and i was truly SCARED 

i packed and went to the bus i knew this is a new chapter that i will face and i had no idea how it'll turn out .I cried all the way to Tangier ( again don't blame me :D ) .I arrived and i already had an idea how to get to my new place .for someone who coming from such a small town tangier seemed HUGE and i was lost while trying to memorize where we were heading 

I arrived and i was still processing everything i was going through it wasn't easy at all i felt alone actually Very alone .Anyways in the middle of this emotional choas i tried to find a way through .I used to go to school and head back home i didn't discover the beautiful city 

in my second year i decided to not repeat the same mistake twice so i got out more and i enjoyed it .Tangier is such a beautiful city ,the weather is great ,people here are open minded due to its location and i was just captivated by its beauty I loved the idea that i feel that i live both islamic and europian city because it's diverse you can live all kind of cultures here and let's just say i become addicted to morning walks to RMILAT and afternoons at ACHAKAR and evenings at Medina 

who would have ever thought that this experience turned out to be such a great one what's amazing is that when you stay alone and away from all the things that your comfort zone include you challenge your fears and doubts clean your things and cook your own food and get sick with no one around 

i wish i can move to somewhere even more far i adore travelling and i adore knowing what i am made of under all circomstances even more and i make some really delicious spaghetti
