"Want to be friends?
We could be the best of friends. I promise.
We can learn how to dream. Let’s get lost.
Hold my hand, I’ll keep you warm.
Inspire me, and I’ll inspire you.
Drinking wine, laughing, dancing, singing, fearless expression, night bus riding, shoe making, museum visiting, dinner partying, dressing up, holding hands, vintage marketing, snickering, bickering, then laughing again.
 I love you.”
No matter how many times I sit down at the computer, ready to write about one experience in London, my mind starts to wander. Sometimes the best way to say something is with silence. Only those who truly listen understand the beauty of silence. So, I’ll sit here in silence and remember what I’ve seen, what I’ve learned: the mentors, friends, and tutors who have pushed me into the unknown… where I thrive. Here it’s ok to be different: to be who I want to be without fear. When I leave London, I’ll continue to move on. I’ll be mindful of the things in London that I love, I will go without fear and be sure of myself. Forever I’ll remember the friends I have made, and moments I shared with the people who I’ve come to love. Life isn’t about one story…one experience. It’s about who I’ve become and what part of myself I’ve shared with others… in return, receiving fond memories that will never fade.
