Dubai, June 2010
Everything is suddenly so clear, so pure, so simple. You hold your breath for a moment, then let it go. And you realize your heart is still beating. You stay up late, you wake up late, you slowly, step by step, sort everything out (whatever's still possible to sort), you randomly go outside at night to watch the fireworks, you drink freshly squeezed pineapple juice in liters and eat ice-cream in pots even though you caught a chill, you drive around and get stuck in every traffic jam imaginable, listening to music you used to love, you meet your old friends, build new memories, and then you just keep afloat in the sea until the last rays of incandescent sun sink under its glittery ruffling surface. Welcome home.
