This story happened during a 8 months work’s contract in south Sicilia. Scared to have to leave a long time on a place with no socials connexions, those 8 months had finished by change totally my life and my vision of. The firsts days were chaotic, a lot of work, I was seeing the sea everydays without having a time to go. I was thinking about I accept this challenge because I was wanting to change totally my life ( my work, my place, my mental health and even my boyfriend) but It was not what I was expecting. Everything start the second week. Some smiles, some attentions, some little things who can change totally your perception and motivate you every mornings to wake up and enjoy your day. Parties every nights, work every mornings, we were a band of new friends who were having to find each others. Every days were totally différents , a lot of adventures, of stories that nobody will never forget. One month after my arrival, a new coworker (who was the DJ of the Hotel) arrive in front of my room. He was arriving directly from Venezuela and was a bit lost. I was telling to him that everything gonna be ok, « message me if you need anything! ». I think the next episode is easy to follow, only two days after we were together. For the first time I was feeling a strong link with someone at the first time. First night together, his phone and mine are vibrating, it’s our managers who are calling everybody because a fire is arriving to the hotel, we have to leave and help to make leave people. We go outside and it was already totally grey of smoke, I was panicking, but he took everything in hand and take my importants stuffs and take me and the others around until the point of evacuation. More than 800 people were there, I’ve never see something impressive like that before. The fire was all around the hotel so impossible to take the road, we were having to evacuate by the beach. By the other way of the beach a lot of bus, firemen, journalists were already there. I’ve never seen too a mutual aid like that, we were all together and not scared because we were strong and knowing what we were having to do. The employees were the last ones to leave. They put us in others resorts but we were having no rooms so we’ve stayed outside waiting the green light for come back. I will always remembered when on the bus for go there, we were seeing the resort on the flammes surrounded by firemen, he took my hand in his one and told me « what a beginning, but I wish I was nowhere else than here with you right now ». We were able to come back two days after. We were all totally disgusting, without sleep at all but We were all happy, singing, dancing , one of the most beautiful moment in my life was this chaos. After this tragic episode, four of us took a fiat 500, which allowed us to do the turn of the country. Every week during our day of, was a new place discovery, new people and new places. For the first time since years I was breathing, deeply breathing and feeling happy. There is a lot to say, 700 hundreds words will never be enough, but this story was the beginning of my turn of a part of the world with this man after our contract. We are always on contact all each others, I’m missing them all every single day. But how appreciate something who have no end ? New adventures are today and tomorrow, And I never felt so ready for this.
