as someone who's felt the tug of a distant city for many years now too, this piece really hit home—you perfectly captured the homesickness for a place you've only seen in pictures or in your head. i especially liked the line "when you’ve dreamt of something so long it’s altered the colour of your mind, you owe it to yourself to give achieving it your best shot" because...yes! we do deserve to get a chance to live out our dreams in the city of our choice! anyways, this was wonderful (and fingers crossed you get to london very, very soon! <3)
