What would you say to yourselves if you realised,at any moment,that you have been far from home for two months? Wow, if you say so, it could seem a very long time, an everlasting time, but if I have to say the truth, it's like I've been here just for a week. Time has litterally fled away, the only things to strenghtened have been my family bounds and some others at school...
Essere figlia unica, per un certo senso, ha i suoi svantaggi, e i suoi vantaggi, una delle cose che sicuramente mi mancherà tantissimo una volta tornata in Italia (meglio non pensarci o piango) sarà poter parlare con mia sorella ogni volta che mi pare, senza doverla chiamare al telefono, solo alzare lo sguardo e trovarmela la, poter parlare di tutto quello che ci passa per la mente, del perchè siamo arrabbiate, tristi, nervose; oppure andare in bagno e mentre ci laviamo la faccia al mattino scambiarci occhiate della serie "ma perché mi sono alzata sta mattina", o le corse per "la doccia la faccio prima io", condividere gli spazi, i tempi, i momenti con una persona su cui puoi sempre contare, non ti tradirà mai, ti perdonerà tutto (o quasi) con cui potrai sempre ridere fino a piangere... Questo penso sia il cuore della mia esperienza.
Mia sorella è, in un certo senso, ora più che mai, una parte di me, con tutte le sue stranezze, manie e strane arrabbiature.
E non è più "sorella ospitante" ma una vera e propria "sorella"....
To be an only child, somehow, has its negative sides and its positive ones; one of the things I will mostly miss when I come home(better not to think of it or I'll end up crying) will be talking to my sister whenever I want, without calling her by phone, just by rising my eyes and founding her there, next to me. To talk of everything it's on our minds, to talk about why we are angry,sad,nervous; or going to the bathroom and, while washing our faces, share ''why-did-we-get-up-this-morning-'' looks. The races to the shower, ''I do it first!'', share spaces,times,moments with someone you can always count on, who will never betray you but will always forgive you( more or less), whit whom you can always laugh till cry.. This, I think, is the heart of my experience.
My sister is,somehow now more than ever, part of me, with all her eccentricity, manias and strange moments of anger.
She's no more a '' hosting sister'' but a true ''sister''...

La mia vita in un selfie... Si u.u... Vivo in un acquario, no scherzo... In un supermercato :')
My life in a selfie...Yeah u.u... I live in a fish tank, just kidding..In a mall ;)
E forse capisci di esserti veramente abituata, di essere parte integrante della famiglia quando tuo padre ospitante ti compra le scarpe calde per andare al campo a Surgut (Siberia), quando tua madre ospitante ti compra del cibo per il viaggio in treno di un giorno e mezzo che affronterai l'indomani o quando tua sorella piccola su preoccupa del fatto che non ci sarai per una settimana...
And maybe you understand that you truly got used to it, that you are part of the family when your hosting father buys you warm shoes to go to Surgut camp (siberia), when your hosting mother buys you food for the one day and a half travel by train that you're dealing with the next day, or when your younger sister worryes about the fact that you're going to be absent for a week...
