It 's not easy not to think of life flowing normally outside these boundaries demarcated by barbed wire. When you walk at 5:30 am resigned to reach the offices, the mind rebels against the incessant rain that beats on your umbrella, it rebelled against the idea of \u200b\u200bmud that you get the calves, the idea that the day will end 'only after 12 hours ...
Then, who knows' how, you begin to see no more 'armed guards at checkpoints with their German shepherds, can not see' the flames that flutter high on the horizon, you hear more 'buzz' of vehicles in operation ... see only the days until the next flight.
Escape ... 'cause when you finish your turn to 56 days, the feeling that you try and' always the same. Until you climb aboard the plane that will take you back 'home, you always have the fear that something will go wrong. This is because 'after two months of extreme hardship, not even a day off, waking up every morning at 5:30, you know that even the hitch, a simple delay could represent a burden too heavy to bear. Are you afraid to do it!
As you resist? In part daydreaming, in part by not watching the calendar.
I returned from holiday here in Nigeria just 20 days ago, after a fabulous break between London and Sardinia. To survive, however, 'when I set foot in Africa, in my mind, the summer was over.
No matter what the reality 'is different and that 80% of my fellow Italians, on vacation, we are going at this time. Never mind that in Sardinia there is a smell of fried fish at every street corner and that the sea is noon a turquoise table. What matters is' who is missing the next flight to date only 47 days. This is' the secret to make it. Just looking ahead trying to smile even when it 's just like crying ...
It 's true ... are in prison ... but I have someone out there who loves me and waiting for me!
is why 'my philosophy' that smile!
The real prison and 'abandonment, loneliness ... So, even here in Nigeria, I can say to be happy and free. ;-)
