Time to Say Goodbye

Today I got my Driving Licence. I’m so proud with it, although I might not get the chance to use it until December. Why? Because of tomorrow. Tomorrow is the day I’ve been expecting for quite a while. I’ve been expecting it with curiosity, hope, but also fear. Tomorrow I fly away. Not too far, but not too close either. Far enough so I won’t be able to come home until the Christmas holliday, close enough to still be in Europe. I’m going to University. For the first time, I will be on my own for more that a week or two.

It is now time. It is time to say good bye to my family and my baby sister. It is time to say good bye to my friends. It’s time to say good bye to my home and to my room. Tomorrow, as I will pass the customs, the security control and the check-in, I will look back and shed a tear. My life as I know it, is about to end. About 2800 km further away, a new life is waiting for me. Whether better or not, I don’t know. I can only hope. And pray.
