Some people may just like to learn about other countries and the only way to really experience them is to be there.

God bless you always!!! 😄 😄 😄

Of course not. That was the reason I said I was sorry for my teen angsty post, anyways. This time it hit me harder maybe than other times as I wonder what am I to do with my life.

I have never actually been to London and I would love to visit, though the always rainy part is not my style as of me living there.

It's human nature to always want bigger and better things, regardless of where you are in life. Often when I speak to people abroad they express how much they would love to live in England, or visit London and so on, and I never really understood it, since to me England is a gray place full of grumpy tories.

This pretty much, except replace England with Ireland and Tories with pretty much all the political parties here currently.

We become accustomed to our ways of lives and that becomes the norm and the norm becomes boring. Very few people are totally happy with the way their life is, even millionaires probably wish for something greater, more love or more appreciation and so on.

I say it's part of the evolutionary process, if we were always happy with the way things were, we wouldn't aim to achieve anything better, maybe that's why we're not still monkeys.

You should just come to Peru, problem solved!

Seriously though BCN is an amazing city to live in, but for completely different reasons each US city can be great too. Matter of tastes.

You came to this conclusion because some people you talked to wanted to visit Spain?

Sorry for the teen angsty post that has nothing to do with the rest of the Lounge posts, but I am curious about your opinion about this topic.

I currently live in Spain and my parents are living in Mexico. It is my personal dream as of now finish university and come to the Land of Opportunities (AKA USA), a country I cherish because, after all, I was born there and... I don't know, it has something attractive many people know about. Plus, I would be closer to my family.

The thing is: I came to visit this winter (both Mexico and USA) and it was funny that people I got to know knocked their socks off when they found out I was from the Old World and blabbed on and on about how they love Barcelona and how they have plans to visit or to study there.

It was funny. I know and have known before this experience we are always staring at our neighbour's sportscar while sitting on a pile of gold, we are always wishing to have been born in the 90s (or in the 60 or in the 20s), but this time I wondered if people actually are so polar to be either such settlers they get to be close-minded townboys that clinch at the sound of the word Evolution or such insatiable embrace-the-world settle-with-nothing let's-be-capitalists world walkers that will never actually be happy with what they have.
