A whole world runs through to my eyelids, United States, Thailand, Mexico, all of them beautiful seen through my imagination. The alarm clock skirl, I’m forced to return to my reality. Every day is the same, course, work, university, a routine that weighs, but is just the course of life to have a great future. Today is gonna to be different, I will go to Ubatuba, a simple coastal city in the interior of São Paulo. In the way, I keep wondering what it would be like to leave the country, probably should be very good, but it’s hard to know exactly how it would be the feeling, I have never go out of my state. Yet, I’m grateful to be able to leave my city, especially when I go to Ubatuba,a wonderful city. The first day at the beach it was really fun, the sea as always brings joy and peace to the comfort of my heart. All of my family become more lighter, even the little things become reason of jokes and laughts. Even when we returned to the house in the late afternoon, with the sun going down, our happiness continue, a card game and a delicious dinner, It was all we needed to escape the routine. We start a talk about traveling the world, the most older feel regreat about not having traveled anywhere outside the country, they have always dedicated themselves to the family, so they can’t have this luxury; We, the youngest, we dreaming big, that one day will be possible to reach unimaginable distances, and finally know what it would feel like travel abroad. Second day, and the adventure knocks on our door, it´s day to learn how to surf. I take the surfboard, and I run to the sea excited to try to face the ferocity of the saline water, but I was defeated by the sea. Still worth it the try, keep the balance under the board is really difficult. The sun is setting again, it is time to say goodbye. I will miss this routine. On the road, I fall asleep, when I’m awake by a sound of a woman crying really loud. My Family remark about an accident rith in front of us, and we come down to help them. In the scene I see two fallen cars, completely destroyed. One men is sitting in the woods crying, while another is yelling with a bewildered man, I hear again the cryes and I see where it comes, there is a woman sit on the floor with her hands on the cheast and eyes of despair, she can’t barely speak because she is so immersed in panic. The man sitting in the woods explains to us through sobs that a drunk guy came in the opposite direction and hit them, causing their car to roll over. Walking through the scene of the disaster I see objects thrown everywhere, sunglasses, cell phones, pieces of the car, and many cans of beer, near the cans is a man standing with his hands on his head, looking around at the destruction, it was the drunk. One person, an oversight, and triggered all this, although the people in the other car were fine, could have someone seriously injured, a dead person. Police and ambulances arrive to give assistance, and we go back to the road. I feel immersed in a million thoughts, as if life has given me an injection of reality, and just one sentence comes to mind "Everything happens the way it has to be". Those people could be us, they were just a few cars ahead of us, a minute earlier than we had left the house, we could have been hit. On a daily basis we worry about so many things, we run out of time, we overload ourselves with chores, and we lose the best part of life. I spent the whole trip thinking about how I wanted to travel the world, but just being with my family, having my friends around me, all alive, amid a world in which we are like dolls of glass ready to break at any moment, I know I already have the world.
