— fragments of an intercontinental connection

4.0! It’s my birthday today!

I’m here in the airport waiting for my flight to go to Portugal. Between the airplane and me, I have a coffee, porridge and a lot of thoughts.

It’s been a while without writing here, in this intercontinental connection, I wrote just once and I left the life brings my head to other places… But today I’m here.

I’m here to celebrate my life, my 40s, my achievements and my frustrations.

Never in my entire life I could imagine that I would be living in Ireland during my forties, writing in English and waiting to travel to another country!

This morning I woke up with a message from my friend Suelen, wishing all the best with one phrase: “já parou pra pensar que a Juliana lá de 1994 de 11 anos talvez nunca imaginou que teria vivido todas coisas incríveis???” (Have you ever stopped to think that 11-year-old Juliana there might never have imagined that she would have lived all the amazing things)

And that’s right!

The road named life sometimes goes too fast and we don’t stop to think about all the things we’ve already done, seen and made…

This road for me it’s been incredibly great! And I wish it keeps going well in this way.
