"The American Dream is "that dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement. It is a difficult dream for the European upper classes to interpret adequately, and too many of us ourselves have grown weary and mistrustful of it. It is not a dream of motor cars and high wages merely, but a dream of social order in which each man and each woman shall be able to attain to the fullest stature of which they are innately capable, and be recognized by others for what they are, regardless of the fortuitous circumstances of birth or position."

So far away

People change
I just realized that people change, I´m not the one I used to be. I grew up and became someone else. I took a chance and moved to Florida. Why?
I could have stayed and been perfectly happy with my friends in Sweden. But I didn´t feel like it, something was missing. And the place I had been living in for so long did not feel like home anymore. People changed and we were all going separate ways and I needed to get away, try something new and find the happiness. I had too much memories from Sweden, I´m not saying that it was bad there because I have so many good memories to but this one thing just made it hard to be there. Everyday I got reminded about it and I couldn´t just get it off my mind and it only made me sad. I will live with it forever but it feels better to be in a place where no one knows about it and I don´t have to get reminded.
