Sunsets in Dubai were unlike any other that I've ever seen before. The sun was larger, shone brighter than anything you'd ever see, it was surreal. I turned to music a lot, especially when in the car, I just loved looking outside the window, while my music played through my earphones... just looking at the scenery, the sunsets, the building that I'd pass every time while we drove to the city, that made me feel warm, that looked like something you'd see in a city like Paris with it's curved balcony's, cream coloured walls and plants in little pots scattered everywhere. There was a song for every moment. I was constantly admiring the scenery, noticing the little things here and there. 

I'm home now and I'm happy. The trip wasn't too long and wasn't too short and I'm okay with that. The morning that I had arrived back home, I instantly went to bed, finding myself waking up at 10pm (i was so pissed!!!!). But it was nice to be back in my bed, in MY room, rather than on my dads couch. I messaged my best friend, we spoke throughout the night and we started a tv show together (the o.c. in case you were wondering), and messaged back and forth about it, and I was happy and it felt like home, and I needed that because I'd never left home for that long before, traveling to another country, on my own.

I'll miss the sunsets, the wandering cats that I'd managed to spot everywhere, the buildings that soared so high up that their top would be covered by clouds, I'll miss my family, I'll miss it all. So until next time, lots of love for you Dubai, you've been a beautiful adventure.
