Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Hallo cool Leute!!

I have to say first of all to myself, because I don’t know if my brain has actually understood that I’m leaving in less then a week… yes exactly, one week! This time went so fast and so intense! I’m glad of every moment I spent in this beautiful city and of the beautiful person I met! I really need to thank the DeutschAkademie because has been a warm and freindly place in these months, and most of all thanks to the teachers I had, to be so patients and always so kind! Thank you because if I arrived here without even speaking and understanding a word of German, now I feel home here and I can communicate in this beautiful language!

Ok, now I think my brain accepted this ‚leaving soon‘ thing… I thought about this moment few times… and I immediately changed thoughts because I didn’t want to face that and end would have come, sooner or later… it always does! And when it arrives you have to think about it, no way to change canal anymore, and you would be surprise on how many things had happened, how many beautiful people you met, how many new friends you can now call by name. And actually this moment were you kind of rethink about the last months, or years for someone, is a really important moment because you can now see were this new experience brought you, how much you have grown, how much you have changed, how many beautiful things you have seen and learnt. And the only thing you can truly do is just appreciate life even more, and thank this beautiful world. And of course it has to give you more energy to keep on going because it is not the end, but just a page of your life that would turn soon, to start writing a new one, but without forgetting any of the things that are written before!

And as Charles Baudlaire said in Le Voyage:

„Mais les vrais voyageurs sont ceux-là seuls qui partent
Pour partir; coeurs légers, semblables aux ballons,
De leur fatalité jamais ils ne s’écartent,
Et, sans savoir pourquoi, disent toujours: Allons!

Ceux-là dont les désirs ont la forme des nues,
Et qui rêvent, ainsi qu’un conscrit le canon,
De vastes voluptés, changeantes, inconnues,
Et dont l’esprit humain n’a jamais su le nom!“

(But the true travelers are they who depart
For departing’s sake; with hearts light as balloons,
They never swerve from their destinies,
Saying continuously, without knowing why: „Let us go on!“

These have passions formed like clouds;
As a recruit of his gun, they dream
Of spacious pleasures, transient, little understood,
Whose name no human spirit knows.)

Thank you for everything.
