Skyler took Eula to greet Zack, whiles exchanging some pleasantries, she handed the gift she prepared before leaving for the Clifton's home
walking down the street with the cool evening breeze making the trees around to dance to it's tone, and the moon and twinkling stars brightening up the sky, the lights from the lamp post bringing a little warmth
the road was quite, except for the occasional passing of people, the voices of Skyler and Eula could be heard as they chatted away
{ so what do you think about New Orleans}Skyler asked
{ ummm I suppose it's not as bad as I expected...} replied Eula
{ not as bad... what where you expecting}
{nothing much, honestly I thought it would be aukward staying with my dad's family and that I will hate this city, but so far everything has been good }
{it is good that you don't hate this city but you need to check it out, you know... try to feel it}
{umm can I pass, New Orleans isn't all that, I googled this place and I don't think I want to explore}
{but you haven't actually had a real taste of this city yet... New Orleans is not a place you can digest in just a day...talk more of judging it by searching on an app} he had a "you have no idea of what you are saying" look on his face
{I didn't mean it that way, I just don't see the need} she felt apologetic for saying that to his face, this was and is his home she had no right to disregard this place
{girl!!! this is your home now so you need to find that reason to love this city}
{I don't know, I have been in Arizona my whole life and I kind of like it there... the city, the food, the people it's just different.... New Orleans to me doesn't scream home }
{I understand, I felt that way too when I was in Los Angeles, Miami or all other cities I've been to.... it was nice but it never felt like home but my cousin made me realize that the place doesn't matter it's the feeling that does...}
{what feeling matters more....}
{yeah.... you can go anywhere in the world and feel like home, like you belong there, not because of the location but the feeling of purpose and warmth and comfort and complete}
{okay I don't get it}
{alright take for instance Juliana, she lived in Los Angeles and when her parents moved to Japan, she would have followed or stay back in Los Angeles with her other relatives but she chose to come to New Orleans to be with us....why so you may ask... it's because of her feelings....
as an only child she always felt lonely and due to her father's job she had to move all the time, when she stayed at her cousin's home in Los Angeles she was never happy because her uncle and aunty always fought she was scared that her parents will end up like that...
I don't mean to brag but my parents treat her like the daughter they never had and she got the siblings she always wanted. #purpose✓,warmth✓, comfort✓ and complete✓}
{wow! I can't believe that makes so much sense...haha...}
{I knew you will understand... you just have to give this city a chance, try to find your purpose, warmth, comfort and complete
{Okay! I guess it won't hurt to see the city for what it actually is and try to find my "PWCC" haha....} she laughed at his suppose concept
{I promise you are gonna love it } Skyler said with a little grin on his face
Eula had a sweet smile on her face, she was looking forward to enjoying her tour around New Orleans
they went on and on asking about each other's lives growing up, to what to expect from their years in college
Skyler narrated his experience as a freshman in UNO. by the time they got to the Clifton's they had a good knowledge of each other they exchanged contacts and made plans for their tour around New Orleans
{it was nice having you today, thank you for honouring my invitation}
{yeah I had fun myself I never knew I could narrate my whole life to someone I just met
{me neither I should be on my way now still got a lot of cleaning to do after the mess we made at home}
{haha... yeah you sure do, take good care of yourself and get home safe, good night }
{I hope your stomach doesn't hurt anymore}
{yep am completely fine, I just need to have a good rest }
{alright good night beautiful}
{tsh...} she smiled as she walked inside the compound and to the front door, she turned back and waved at him before going in
