Lovely story Monica.

Myself being born in Romania and grown up in those grey concrete blocks. I aspire to be closer to nature as much as I can. While I lived in London, the weather was not great, but it has lots of green parks, that make city life much nicer.

Wow this is so striking! I see now what you mean about feeling no attachment or belonging to your home. How could you, to a place so sterile. Your metaphors and similes are fantastic, and the comparisons between the dead, grey old world and the vibrant, colorful new life is beautiful.
