Dreams. We
grow on them. We build our hearts with them. They fulfill our souls and minds
and give us hope in the worst of moments and brighten our happy ones.
I just
received a letter from a dear old friend of mine. Oh, letters! Those romantic things
our grandparents used to send to one another. Anyways, today, when I receive it,
and you can imagine it’s not too often I receive one; I suddenly got a little
bit of inspiration and happiness. I haven’t seen my friend since this summer
but I obviously keep in touch with her, after all, even if we have letters, we
also have Skype, WhatsApp and others…but this letter has given me so much more
than any type of technology can ever give me. After a not-so-good day, with
tons of studying and crazy thoughts in mind, when I started reading this letter
I was immediately moved by her words.
Let me tell
you her story:
My friend
left her home in search for an adventure. When you leave your whole life at 20,
no matter where you go, you start a new and incredible chapter in your life. I
confess sometimes I think she has gone completely crazy, but most times, I
think she is one of the bravest people I know, for being able to leave
everything behind and go into the unknown, leaving almost everything to fate.
I cannot describe
what I feel right now. Usually, I can write my feelings, but this letter said
more than I could write here; simply because it was written from her heart,
with such joy. Thanks to her words, I feel a sense of adventure, a need to
change something, to do something exciting and unique that will shape my life
and create an amazing memory to tell my grandchildren one day. I don’t know
what my little or grand quest will be, but I’m intrigued of what it might be.
Thank you,
RochiBelt, for giving me this sense of adventure once again, for pushing me to
do something passionate and exciting.
I wish you
the best in your quest and hope you find something magical in every place you
set your foot on,
and remember that we will always be here waiting for you!
