Just, Life.

Wow. Today was made of joe hisaishi music, sunny, abandoned streets and incredible sunsets.

I went to the vet, at 5, like I always do when i'm not studying. It was a hot sunny day with random beautiful clouds and a wisp of cold wind from time to time. Like a sort of goodbye for winter. The slow defrost that whispers spring. So, at 5:45 or so I got Kiki, the old, wise-looking, limp grandmother dog of the vet and we went to explore cala Flores. The soft piano notes of One Summer's Day made every house, every moss covered wall, every white fence look more alive, more beautiful in a soft way that was perfectly combined with the music. We climbed up steep hills, searching for the smallest, most twisted little alleys and we somehow ended up in the tennis court, where I knew Noodle-man would be playing tennis with someone from my class. And there he was, in a horrible, orange, shiny t-shirt and shorts with his long lanky legs making a very weird image.

So Kiki and I sat in front of the court and Suso and Jaime came along, and we just talked about nothing and watched the game and laughed when Diego made a mistake and shouted JODERRR in a very scary voice and kicked a ball to oblivion, afterwards laughing with himself. As time passed Kiki began to get bored so I went to a plain where I could overlook the courts, and there was this giant, abandoned football field dominated by plants. And I let Kiki loose, which was a big fat mistake, because she loves to run away so I had to run faster than I've ever runned in my whole life (because she is pretty fucking fast, even if she has a limp) and get to the gates of the field before her to close them. Mission completed, we just ran around in circles until i thought I was going to explode and then we returned to the tennis court, watching the game once again.

But of course we eventually had to leave so I went up a strange field next to the court and shouted-run, Diego, run!, to which he answered-yes yes fuck, bastard, which really made no sense lol and we said goodbye and I went back to the vet, once again zigzagging through the maze of houses. And I felt very happy, for some reason; I've never really gotten along with the people from my class, and it's my last year now, so just being there with them and laughing about little things made me happy. It's not that I regret not having gotten along with them; but it felt good, to just be there, with the sun and the grass and the sounds of the tennis ball being hit. I couldn't help grinning all the way back.

When it was 8:00 I got on my bike and left, watching as the sky slowly turned darker and darker listening to soft music. When I was close to home I looked to my left and saw this huge, incredibly beautiful purple cloud that seemed to be holding the sun, which was a bright pink, and I felt my breath catch in my throat. I quickly switched my music to This Will Destroy You, ran across the street and pedalled as fast as I could to the salines. However, when I got there I saw that everything was filled with water (it's been raining like crazy for the last week) and only a small line of solid ground stood in the middle of the small sea. So, I pedalled through the water carefully (and getting my feet wet) and reached land.

I sat down, put on mushi-shi music and watched the sky as it changed from blue to purple to pink and back to a dark, rich blue, with the streetlights contrasting against the painting. And I started thinking, about everything. I really want to leave for uni, always said to myself I didn't really like this place, but it's not true. I realized just how much I love it here while I was sitting there with the magic of mushi in my ears. I recalled every fond memory, every dawn and sunset, every evening in the beach, all the small moments that i've enjoyed while being alone here. And it felt like a sort of goodbye, this sunset, like a sort of closing chapter to my life here. It's not that I'm not gonna ever come back, but a period of my life is coming to an end, and I couldn't help but crying. It wasn't because I didn't want to leave, or because I was happy of having lived here; it was just, everything. I looked at the sky with the music and I thought, how can it be so beautiful? The feelings inside me just poured out with everything, while I froze in the middle of a sea, just me, the wind, my bike and the world.

After sitting there for god knows how long, I got up, plugged in ''Blonde on Blonde'' and headed towards my mom's house, observing every little detail, yellow against blue, feeling so grateful and happy of being alive that I could die. I walked lucky with This Will Destroy You in my ears, went back to dad's zigzagging on my bike in the middle of the road, had a dark shower with Coldplay and sat down to have dinner.

A day made of something huge and beautiful and simple: life.
