Countdown




 
One month. Everybody sums up this 30 days span in different ways: it can be excellent, tragic, bizarre, or simply ok. I have a clear and simple word in my mind for my next 30 days: countdown.
The inverted clock has officially started its rush today: on 18th January I will be leaving for London, just to take the day after the flight to Vancouver.

In a month time from now I will be alone, far from home, in a B&B room near Gatwick airport.
It is as if I could see myself, lying on the bed, staring at my luggage in a soft lighting, with a tangle of hopes, fears, dreams and doubts stuck in my head.
I will be alone to take up this challenge, just like in Ireland years ago, afraid to lose but determined to win.
So, stand up soldier and load your gun: it’s getting time to fight.
