The speculation about the story behind such an exception, an interruption in the pattern was soon replaced by an inextinguishable desire to make that moment, those stories, a starting point of the next chapter to my own, everchanging story, my metamorphosis.
And indeed, I started my journey on that day At first fighting against fear of tomorrow and shadows of the past, always feeling something great was waiting for me, if I would just dare to go through the threshold. The last two years brought me in places I could not even imagine to step in. I was blessed.
Today I received an update from Youtube.
An italian rapper I follow, who started a project in which he describes with every rap song the heroic life (btw, I love that "Heldentaten" in German is the perfect translation of "res gestae"*) of a classic hero published his new creation about Ovid (link from Youtube below).
I sat and listened to it, feeling like the time had come to realize that my destination was here.
I am home. I always have been, I will always be.
Because my home, my roots are much older than I am, they are inside of me and all around.
A journey comes to end only when a new one is going to begin, though.
Therefore, let's start from there, from the beginning:
Before the seas, and this terrestrial ball,
And Heav'n's high canopy, that covers all,
One was the face of the Nature...
Isn't that beautiful?

*it sounds perfect to me, it's not objectively perfect, of course.
