When will January 31st will come?

 

Days go by, as I wait for January 31st to come, at 9pm, so I can board the plane that will take me to that next adventure.

Almost three had gone by since I received the news of this adventure to be possible; Unbelievably but certain, I had been selected among some other people to that internship in Amman, Jordan.

It’s January 1st, still 30 more days to come; to await, to prepare. It is still January 1st, I kept on awaking on my bed, on a mattress that I had almost forgotten for all the nights I have not slept on it. I open my eyes and see the stared purple sky above me, that I once picture as the beginning of my Universe. I follow with my sight and find a dream catcher that surely has kept all my dreams since the day it has been hanging there.

I follow the path and the blue balloon arises, full of shining stars and clouds, protecting the light and holding the protectors that will keep the safety of the environment.

I turn my eyes and see birdie, with his life-longing fly, always staring at the horizon with the hope if reaching the stars, never to accomplish it, but never quitting. I turn to both sides and crash with the books of my youth, some new, some older than others, keeping the good knowledge, stories and anecdotes inside them, waiting for me to reach them, open the right page, and read again that story that once made me smile, laugh, think, meditate…

I wake up, I stand up, and reach the mirror, where I look at myself, and think of the person I have become, analyzing where have all those dreams gone, either to reality or somewhere in my mind keeping the faith to come true.

The day goes by as any other day.. then I go to bed, go to sleep, waiting for tomorrow, to start all over again, think when will January 31st will come.
