In a few days we go back to the place where I come from, a place I left almost 22 years ago. There are times when I still can’t believe it. It is a small place. An island. This journey […]
16. A new stage
It has already been seven months since the operation. It seems incredible. As if it were long ago yet recent at the same time. I was very aware yet at the same time I don’t remember it very well. I think the […]
