One more night

The best journeys are the ones you never took

There are journeys that begin with a suitcase in hand. Others, after a breakup. Some, when a job forces you to leave without leaving anything behind… There are certain ones that are etched in our souls because they hurt us, because they forced us to hurt people we probably loved. But there are also those dominated by a passionate love, which make us forget what it's like to live and also feel the pain when it's unrequited… You'll realize much later that the best journeys are the ones you never took. That you didn't dare to take, that you didn't experience.

Mine began the day I was told I had a few months left to live. And it was the most beautiful one I've ever taken…

Revised edition with a note from the author at the beginning and an additional chapter on how the story evolved six years later.
