I have travelled extensively through the States, some parts I can’t stop raving on about.
I’m looking forward to returning one day soon. Returning to eat Cuban food in Miami... roller blading along the beach in LA...singing the full rendition of New York, New York for the first time when seeing the amazing skyline from my hotel window... throwing the colourful New England autumn leaves in the air....so many happy memories. The small things you never forget about a place. I had so many in the States.
What I particularly like about America/Americans is the ‘can do’ attitude they have, where anything is possible as long as you are willing to make it happen, ‘The American Dream’!
The American Dream, the way I see it, is, it’s not about how much money you’re born into or what postcode you have but making those dreams become a reality. It is an inspiring, aspirational and humbling mentality.
There are countless rags to riches tales about someone rising out of humble beginnings and making it big time. Americans are optimistic, enthusiastic and positive people who love to see people being given a chance to make a better life.
Due to bad politics, America has had a lot of bad press in the last few years and the popularity of the country and its people have taken a nose dive but I’m here to recognise despite all the little nuances that get on my nerves, despite all the bullshit, I praise the people and it’s nation.
So in continuation from my last journal post, which was mostly written in jest, I would like to stress, there are by far more positives to come out of the USA than negatives and I cannot wait for my return.
