My secret place on a rooftop in Barcelona saved my lifesteemCreated with Sketch.

I lived in Barcelona for six years. Graduated there. My whole adolescence took place there.

We lived in an apartment in on the ninth floor. The view from the Terrace was already amazing. But going up on the roof you saw all over Barcelona. There I sit almost everyday for my last schoolyear. Sometimes smoking a joint. Sometimes listening to music. Imagine listening to Barcelona by Freddie Mercury and Monsterrat Caballe with headphones while watching all over Barcelona and feeling completely free. Loving the feeling of being completely alone on this rofftop, no one judging me for my feelings. I was in a self discovering phase of my life. I still am, but it was the time I questioned the whole existence and my life. I realized that the most powerful feeling is to feel good for no reason at all. A state of appreciation of existence. Ecstasy! Just remembering this safe place of mine. Where after a day or even before it, I could just be completely myself. I must have been there at every time. From 1am to 12pm. I even believe strongly to have seen an UFO, basing my knowing of what I saw and knowing the flighroutes of all the planes. Never would a plane have flown between the two twintowers at the beach. I have so many memories with that place and even shared it with my close friends sometimes! Thankyou for reading! I hope you have a place amazing like this!

I sincerley don't know who I would be today without this place :-)
