Home is always within you

Some people spend their entire lives trying to leave home. And most of us come to hold disdain and contempt for the place that we grow up in. But really, even though we may want to leave that place more than we want anything else, it’s the one place that we can never truly leave behind.

No matter what memories or experiences our home has given us; it forms us, shapes us, and teaches us who we want to be and who we don’t want to be.

Home is always within us. It’s a part of who we are. And just as we can never escape who we really are, we can never really escape the place where we’ve grown up. If we manage to leave it behind and go off in search of something else – something better – we may just realize that the answers we seek were there in that place all along.

i love Durban

Just like people, cities possess personalities. But unlike people, the changes that occur in the personalities of cities do not leave us angry or annoyed but mesmerized and awe-inspired.

Durban’s dynamic and vibrant persona is unlike any other city’s in the world, it pulses with the thrill of the unexpected but is simultaneously filled with the comfort of a place that invites you just as a home does. No city is perfect, but the imperfection of the city of Durban is purely extraordinary.

Those who live in Durban know that no matter where else you go; there will be no other place that can embrace you as much as it can. And those who have visited Durban, have felt the energy and the pull of the city just as the ocean’s waves are attracted to the shore – and of course, there are no other beaches quite like that of those in Durban.

Durban is my city, my home, and the reasons to love it are rather endless.
