    The Weeknd not leaving Toronto in 21 years reminds me of the time my bestfriend said to me «i don’t care about nationality i don’t really label myself with any nationality i’m just being me it doesn’t matter where i’m from or where in the world i am» and i said to him «you may say that now but we all have a place that we call home whether it is a house, country or a place somewhere and you might feel more homesick when you get older cause i’m sure old people feel more at peace at their house in their home country»
