Today we remember all those who lost their lives in the suicide attacks on London, this very day in 2005.

London is my home and wherever I am in the world London will always be home. I was born here and have lived here all my life. I love London and I love it even more since the tragic events this time last year. I love that I went to school, college and university with people from all over the world. I love that I can hear 5 different languages on my bus ride home. I love that I can go an eat in a Turkish restraunt, buy my groceries from an asian-owned shop and learn to salsa dance in a bar and that I can do all that on my high st!!

I love that we don't care about other people's beliefs, because we have our own. I love that I can see White kids, Black kids, Asian kids and Oriental kids all listening to the same tune and each one loving it as much as the others.

I love London 'cause it's where I'm from and it's what I'm about, diversity, change, evolution, growth, learning, appreciation, acceptance.

Today we remember those that passed on 07/07/2005 and tomorrow we look forward to OUR future.

Peace & Blessings
Octave!
