Paco´s Life: Madrid

Hit the Road Jack

And the ICEX training is finished, after the last speech offered by the unique Washington this unforgetable Madrid experience is over. It could have not been better, these weeks passed away really fast, with plenty of lectures, parties and a grat environment. I guess this is the same year after year but I can tell you, this one was enormous. Such a meeting of so nice people seems hard to find in the future. Anyway, the thing is that this period is over and now is time to move forward, Denmark is waitting there. Tomorrow is time to drive, 2500 km of solitude until Copenhagen to think about why I have chosen this way of living, always changing friends, keeping distance between my old friends, family, and that person that, after all, is still so important for me… The truth is that sometimes is fucking hard but dude, I think in the end is worthy or, at least, when I am in my thirties and comfortably settled down raising my kids, I would like to look back and remember all those places I lived in and all these people I met. Many times I say this is an issue about opportunity, this is the time for doing these things, is now or never. Which one is the alternative? Finish the degree, get a job and spend the whole life in Madrid? Well, there will be time for doing this, life is very long. If I had done this when I had the chance, I had never met all these people I found in Newcastle, Cardiff, Aachen, at the ICEX. I know that, in the end, I will only keep some of them but all those good moments will never go away. However, the truth is that now I fell sad and I dont pretend to drop all this sadness here but it pisses me off that I can´t have everything, I have to give up some things. Well, I guess you can never be 100% happy, specially in my case. Is it worthy? I dont know, 2500 km to think about it..
