This is my challenge, this is the reality I face each and every day, this is the cross I have to bear…
I left Romania, young and in love, hoping and dreaming. I left behind a wonderful country with springs of magic nectar, forests of green wonders and people with hearts of gold. I left my job behind, my friends who still play their guitars at night, under the stars, in the light of a camp fire… I left my family behind, and God, how this puts me down on my knees every once in a while.
I left all behind and I lost everything. Even the dream that lead my steps on this path. And the real challenge was… to learn new words, to adapt to a new way of life: colder, with no guitars under the stars… I had to face that challenge alone. Suddenly a world faded away and another stretched in front of my eyes…
I live in a country of green forests, smooth valleys and hills rich with the treasures of Dionysus. I live by the Mosel river and I enjoy the wonders of the nature, which embrace my senses from dawn till dusk. I live here and I long for the taste of the Romanian wine, I long for my friends and their guitars, and all I have to do is dream.
This entry is my answer to the writing project started by Yvonne Russell at Grow Your Writing Business and Laura Spencer at Writing Thoughts.
A very poignant entry – sad but with a touch of hope. I look forward to reading the second part. Thanks for jloining in our Shared Answers project.
Thanks for this beautifully worded entry. (Can you even visit Romania?) I’m glad to have you as part of this project.
The second part will follow, later on tonight. I’ll give you a taste of Romanian love, a part of my heart, a tear of hope and a prayer.

Hey Pearl. Sure I was awake, but not online
Thank you for the rainbow. Yes, you can see it at night… Love you!
I think you are doing a great job at bearing your cross. As for the wonders of Romania, they are always here for you, and deep inside your heart, I am sure! All the best to you and, again, Happy Birthday!
This is the kind of post that makes you think about a lot of things that happened to you…
Poignant is an understatement. Dreams are what we are all made off in the end.
Nostalgia at its best… Thanks…
