Every now and then I ask my friends big questions, such as if you could live anywhere in the world where would you want to live. And so far I've never met anyone from the province who wants to go further St.John's. I asked my friend Jonathan today, he is from a village with 200 people population, and he looked at me like I was an alien and said: "Here, of course!"
I like it, they make me think a lot, local people. They made me re-think all my life actually. When you live on a beautiful land and see open ocean every day, mountains and huge trees, whales and icebergs, and when you are friends with everyone, why would anyone want more than that? Enjoying simple things in life, taking it easy, being happy, why, seriously, anyone would want anything more than that. I like it how there is no rush here, how everything is in harmony, mainlanders think that newfoundlanders are slow and naive, but honestly, newfoundlanders are kind and humble people, to the extreme. And when they say:"I was away for a month, and when I came back I wanted to lie down and kiss the ground" it truly amazes me, because that's what this place makes you feel like, because it's home! And then I said:"I want to go to Australia for like a year or so" he looked at me with a smile that made me not want to ever go anywhere from here.

Don't get me wrong, I do love my homeland and my family, but.. I don't even know anymore. It's just that, everything is good here. You don't need to go out of your way to be happy, it's when you can concentrate on being yourself and being a better person. And homeland doesn't make me want to be a better person, it makes me want to be an asshole, I guess I have issues, but it's not anyone's fault really.
