"We haven't lived at home for a year and have changed our place of residence twice"

2015. Mother decided that I should leave, but not by myself. My grandmother and her mother were coming with me. So I did not worry that much.

Upon arrival, I was that the place was beautiful. I was convinced we would live here.

We settled in a boarding house. My parents were not so excited about that. However,, it is cool here. I wanted to stay, and grandma told me that we would leave soon, that we would go home soon.

2017. We left our home a year ago. My family and I changed our place of residence twice, but now we have settled in one place. We decided to come back home. Everyone was sad, and so was I. But I think it is for the better.
