And don&#8217;t get me started on the Golden Gate Park and its harmonious and relaxing Japanese Tea Garden. Or the Pacific Ocean and the adorable crew of porpoises we managed to see, gently riding the waves near the shore (picture me screaming: &#8220;I just saw a black fin!&#8221; and making a happy dance on the beach). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All right, apart from the fact that I am now totally rambling about my last vacations, where am I going with this? Well, you know the feeling, right? When you finally arrive to your little Piece of Land after a relatively long trip, you start to recognize the trees and the roads and the shape of the horizon behind. Then in one breath, you suddenly have this realization, that you are<em> home<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s exactly how I felt coming back from my Californian trip and seeing the mountains get closer and closer. And it caught me by surprise. I genuinely didn&#8217;t expect this, neither did I expect how strong the feeling was. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"978\" height=\"978\" data-attachment-id=\"2912\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/wildera.art\/blog\/golden-gate-bridge\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/wildera.art\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Golden-Gate-Bridge.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"978,978\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Marine Montron&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1559128598&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;\\u00a9 2019 Marine Montron (wildera.art)&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Golden-Gate-Bridge\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Golden Gate Bridge&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/wildera.art\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Golden-Gate-Bridge-650x650.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/wildera.art\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Golden-Gate-Bridge.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/wildera.art\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Golden-Gate-Bridge.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2912\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wildera.art\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Golden-Gate-Bridge.jpg 978w, https:\/\/wildera.art\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Golden-Gate-Bridge-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wildera.art\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Golden-Gate-Bridge-650x650.jpg 650w, https:\/\/wildera.art\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Golden-Gate-Bridge-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wildera.art\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Golden-Gate-Bridge-270x270.jpg 270w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 978px) 100vw, 978px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s been almost a year since I arrived here, a foreign country. And since I&#8217;m living on a temporary visa, I wasn&#8217;t really in a mindset of actually considering this part of the world my <em>home<\/em>. I mean, since the first day I feel like I belong here (somehow, don&#8217;t ask me why) but my rational mind kept reminding me that no, this is not your country, your actual home is somewhere else &#8211; whatever that means since I don&#8217;t have one in France anymore. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So which one is right? I think for once I&#8217;m gonna go with my gut feeling, and not ignoring it especially when it is that strong. This last year has been the best and the worst at the same time. It has been confusing, and challenging, bur it also made me grow. And build new roots. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My trip to San Francisco was fantastic, but coming home that day was even better, like hearing a voice saying: &#8220;It&#8217;s ok, you know. This is the right place for you to be, and whatever happens, you&#8217;re gonna be ok here. &#8221; And this little spark of peacefulness was comforting in a way that I didn&#8217;t anticipate. I&#8217;m grateful I got to experience this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>And it was great as you&#8217;d suspect \ud83d\ude42 A bit tiring though, we didn&#8217;t have much time to rest between all the different places we visited.
