Three years ago,today, my family and i moved to Libya. I remember on my tranist stop in London, back then, that i wrote an e-mail to my friend complaning how would my parents do this to me, complaning about many things, about my schooling,my friends,the turn my life was about to take. Little did i know that although its tough,i'd get used to it. I'd love it. Well, love was already there. Its Libya. I was Libyan despite all the paper work,despite all the school records that state that im otherwise,despite my country of birth,despite all the facts. I was Libyan, a true Libyan.It wasnt easy, i didnt expect it to be easy, until this day, at times i feel the urge to pack my bags and go back to the life i got used to...Many times...Then i think, well it was about time that i got to know my family,my country,my people. It is about time that i experience life in this land....somehow in between i found joy in living here.. sure it is not easy, sure i miss it over there lots, but at times i think maybe it was about time. Who knows.

your mature attitude toward this is wonderful and Libya is lucky to have people like you.
You know if you went back to Canada you wouldn't feel at home anymore and you would actually be longing for Libya, but its best to settle in Libya living abroad should only be a phase in life ...........
salaam
I admire you and respect you and this piece consolidated it and I share a very similar background with yourself and I have been through many similar experiences and I know it only makes you stronger and these experiences have carved out your personality and it is that personality of you that makes you so special to everyone
