Morriña... that's the word... No traslation not even in Spanish, it's Galician. It's a feeling. The feeling of miss something or someone but in the way that you need it. Actually, there's no words to describe this feeling because of that, it's just a feeling! I'm feeling morriña.
And that is what I'm feeling now since a week... Morriña...Morriña of being with my people, to have a beer with them, going party there, talking face to face, laughing, a joke, a hug, a kiss, a fight, a coffee. The regular things, the regular food, the regular prices!
The time it's going by very fast and I'm having a really great time here, but it's impossible to avoid this feeling, and sometimes it hits really hard. It seems like yesterday when I arrived here and it's been more than two months! It's not so much time but it's by the moment the longest time I'm out of home.
In just a bit more than one month I will be again there...
I will discuss with my mother once again, as always, I will talk to my sister, I will go out with my friends in my hometown Estella, I will go for a beer in Navarreria, I hope to have one or more dinner with them and going out party! The theater. How I'm freaking missing the theater! Performances, joking with the people, rehearsals... here it's so different! You miss even things you never thougt you would miss...and the worst thing is that when you will come back home again you will miss the life here, it's a fucking circle.
It`s curious the way the memories come, in the most unexpected moment, and how little it's the detail but how big it's the morriña... just the smell of the food, or a sound, someone's voice, certain people... Sometimes you're walking by the street and suddenly it seems that you hear a familiar voice, or you see someone that really looks like a friend, but it's just another norwegian. And then you just start to think about your home...the life that you were used to have...the friends that are there, what they will be doing now? Sometimes you get a mail, a sms, an skype calling, and you feel a little bit closer to home and the morriña it's going away for a while but you feel that it's not enought.
