I went to Vivid Sydney on Friday, and I saw so many people over there. I was thinking about (I was like) 

I thought where are these people come from? I didn’t realize (that) Sydney has so many people before.  

It was quite beautiful, and every skyscraper looked very stunning. It just looks like the game scene of cyberpunk2077.  

I’ve been living in Sydney for more than 2 years. However, it still makes me feel like a brand-new City in my heart, and it is a place not really belong to my soul. There is no sense of belonging. 

Well, Melbourne in my mind was a place that full of belongingness, but I only had that feeling before I went back at three months ago. (Before this winter). 

Because, when I really went back there at February and I found all my friends gone, and I immediately realize that the place where makes me have belongingness is only exist in my mind.
