Pieces for my final puzzle Some pieces are exactly where they're supposed to be, some of them are on the way to fit where they belong and others are totally missing. I am thankful for the ones that somehow found their way to the final puzzle, and I am more than thankful for the ones that are missing, because that means I still have new adventures to live. I used to define my “Romanian” self as an independent and complete woman, poor me… Before starting to live abroad I’ve thought that “Alina” is, more or less, shaped, I had everything I need (my friends, my family, job, university, my own way to live my life and so on), but somehow I felt that something was missing. After my Erasmus in Spain I got to discover that the thing that was missing was not at all just one thing, they were (and still are) plenty of unknown pieces that have to be found somewhere, somehow.
2 weeks, 14 days, 336 hours
Fortunately, I had (and have) the luck to be surrounded by new, motivated and amazing people that have involved me in everything they have done. I am eating the less enjoyable part in the beginning, but step by step, I arrive to the point where I enjoy the best part. My flat mates, actually my new friends, did the groceries for me; they took photos of the city to make me feel that even if I am inside of my room, I am part of what they are doing; and when they saw that I collapsed they brought me cute and nice presents, even if we only knew each other for a couple of days. So, I told to myself, the best part is on the way. I don’t really know and don’t want to know what pieces I am going to find for my final puzzle, I love to be surprised, and I am sure that the new adventures that are ready for me here, in Lecce, will show up some missing pieces that will fit perfectly for my final puzzle. ~ Alina
