say goodbye

Four months ago, I lived a truly devastating experience. This picture –taken by an attendant to Javi's funeral– shows us some colored balloons with dedications to her, my ex-classmate.

The image allows me to remember rite and gives me peace. In addition, it means death and rebirth in my life.

In mid-July, I was celebrating my best academic semester. Also, "Winter Song", my short film, it was fascinated me. On the other hand, I was preparing for my holidays: I would meet up with my old friends and celebrate seven years with Sylvana, my girlfriend...

However, in a matter of days, I received two sad news. On a snowy night, Javi dies in a car accident and four others are injured, including Manuel, my best friend. Then, in the midst of that whirlwind of emotions, Sylvana breaks up with me.

Although all this was wrong, I appreciate the opportunity I had to experience it.
