"THAT happiness" - my kind of tale...

          I asked dad if i can go on a 'break' as it was too much stress to take in, i mean it took me 18 years to finally decide what i actually have to do in my life, and finally when i took a step forward, i stepped  in a whole new world, where everyone is a professional and nobody carer about the existence of a beginner. No matter how much i struggle, i'm gonna be the backbencher no teacher likes. 

          "Baby sit" said dad, "you know when I was a kid what my worst nightmare was? HUNGER! my dad was really poor and wasn't able to feed 8 children and a wife. Every morning when he left the house we all just hoped not to see him empty handed when he returns. The waiting time would be so frustrating but, at the end when he use to return with the bags of food in his hands it would be the happiest moment of our life, nothing else could make us happier. So, think what if dad wasn't that poor and we never had to face hunger? " he waited for me" life would have been so much easier ", i replied." Yeah, but I never would have known, that THAT happiness exists, that just  a food bag can make you feel like you own the world.", he replied.

          "And what when your dad came empty handed?" I asked. "Honey, I am already living my worst nightmare so I have nothing else to get scared of. I would just go in fields and walk crossing my arms around my chest like a king. Sometimes I even found myself one or two tomatoes to eat which i used to call bonus. " taking a pause he continued, "see baby life is a battle and a soldier don't take a break when he is tired, a soldier takes break when he is done." he said.

 What I did next? Well, first I canceled the trip and then I started writing this blog, and I don't know why but I don't have that wrinkled temple while typing instead, i have a little smile on my lips.
