She asked if they could get married in that beautiful inn by the river in his hometown. He answered with a smile, and with another question. “Would you marry me right now?”, he asked, and I remember it well. She said, “It’s Saturday, you silly!”, and she could not imagine what was about to happen. He takes this ring out of his pocket, a ring that was just perfect for her, and puts it in her hands. I could swear it felt like time stood still, and that she didn’t breath for 15 minutes. “What’s that?”; “What do you think it is?”. He smiled again, that same smile that she is so used to, and that always makes her world, no matter where, feel like home. No, it wasn’t a joke, he said. She laughed, the most joyful laughter the world has ever heard. Yes, she forgot to answer his question. So he asked her, “Are you going to answer my question, or just leave me hanging?”. She didn’t have to. He’s always known what would be her answer when it came to that, but she did anyway.

Última tentativa de escrever um blog. “Por quê?”, você deve estar pensando, e eu lhe digo: motivo puramente egoísta. Entrei oficialmente no que imagino que será a grande fase de transição da minha vida, e eu quero poder olhar para trás e relembrar esses momentos. É claro, tenho muitos amigos que não poderão estar comigo no dia-a-dia dessa bagunça, e eles estão mais que convidados para acompanhar a minha saga pelo blog.

Já se passaram quase 9 meses desde o dia em que embarquei naquele avião que me levaria para o desconhecido. Abandonei uma vida em potencial, uma faculdade no último ano, e abri mão do contato diário com os meus melhores amigos… Tudo para me deparar com um rascunho do que a vida poderia ser quando desembarquei do outro lado do continente.

Hoje, posso dizer que a turbulência já passou, e uma vida melhor do que eu jamais poderia ter sonhado me espera. Ou melhor, nos espera. :)
