“Travelling is a brutality. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comfort of home and friends. You are constantly off balance. Nothing is yours except the essential things: air, sleep, dreams, sea, the sky - all things tending towards the eternal or what we imagine of it.”
Cambodia, India, Thailand, Indonesia - this was where Rita had spent the last 7 months away from everything and everyone she knew...
If there was any image that came to mind to describe her, it was that she was like a plane on continuous turbulence. She had the kind of energy and vividness I believe you would only get after having spent 7 continuous months off track, 7 months out of your comfort zone – and now she was in the most brutal phases of all… trying to land back to a normal life rhythm, trying to land to a place she could call a new home in Madrid...
Our lives are filled with moments of turbulence and uncertainty. But then again, they account for the best stories too – if you’re planning to live a life well lived, embrace the turbulence for the results it may give – because it’s the brutality and the turbulence that gives it worth…Because the landing will happen, maybe not now, but eventually.
