"where i have been, where i'm going to"


Thursday 10th February 2011

Where are you going?
Where have you been?

During my life I haven't been in many places but those where I've been are really important for me.

I remember my vacations in my mom's farm. It took us eight hours to get there and when we arrived to a small dusty town we walk for maybe forty minutes and carrying heavy bags.

I met many uncles and cousins and cousin's sons and daughters.
During those days I run through huge trees, I swam in cool rivers, I ride a horse and I shred honey with it and a dog.

I spent the darkest nights I have ever seen where only the moon light helped us to see.
I spent those vacations between scary stories about witches and beautiful bright mornings. I spent those vacations where my mom had so many memories that it made me know her better, that it made me feel I had been in my family's roots, in my family´s reasons to be proud of what we are, to be proud of our long journey.

After those places where I've been I'm sure where I'm going. I'm going to a big city where I'll create roots to be proud of.
I'm going to where I can feel what I felt in those vacations, I'm going to happiness.
