Só Isso

Este pedaço de texto, podia ter sido meu. Reflecte exactamente o que senti ao dar sinais de mim, por onde passei nestas férias de verão.

While the astronauts, heroes forever, spent mere hours on the moon, I have remained in this world for nearly thirty years. I know that my achievement is quite ordinary. I am not the only man to seek his fortune far from home, and certainly I am not the first. Still, there are times I am bewildered by each mile I have travelled, each meal I have eaten, each person I have known, each room in which I have slept. As ordinary as it all appears, there are times when it is beyond my imagination.

In Interpreter of Maladies, "The Third and Final Continent", Jhumpa Lahiri.

(Gosto de histórias onde as personagens, ricas na sua simplicidade, me ensinam e me fazem pensar.)Só isso.
