During these days before I leave for my sabbatical, I am forcing myself to fix dates and meetings with friends and colleagues whom I care the most. I say “forcing” because I trust in friendship and I know that real friendship does not need extra-meetings, it just needs the meetings and contacts you feel natural to give. But in days like this it is different because you know that time is limited so you actually plan who and when meet with very detailed scheduling.
So it was in one of these meeting that I realized that some friendships have a lot to tell and the journey is at its very beginning. They are relatively young… few years. Sometime I still behave in tip toe in order to avoid to misbehave at the eyes of these new friends but I have just realized that now it would have been time to move to the next level, in which you don’t care and simply make mistakes knowing that your friends will understand.
Said so, I have enough experience in life (I hope!) to say that these friendships will tell their stories disregarding time and space obstacles: I am serene despite the continuous changes in action in my life.
