When thinking about the future, what are you most excited about?

---

<<Él corría, nunca le enseñaron a andar
Se fue tras luces pálidas
Ella huía de espejismos y horas de más.

Aeropuertos, unos vienen, otros se van
Igual que Alicia sin ciudad
El valor para marcharse, el miedo a llegar>>

Translated:

<<He ran, they never taught him to walk

He went after pale lights

She fled from mirages and hours too many.

Airports, some come, others go

Just like Alice without a city

The courage to leave, the fear of arriving>>

So begins one of my favourite songs by my favourite band: Copenhage by Vetusta Morla. A Spanish band that, apart from knowing the song before embarking on my British adventure 12 years ago, has accompanied me for a good part of all these years, especially in this, my second stage in the UK, since 7 October 2018, when I picked up my bags again and boarded a plane that would return me to the country that recognised me as a Veterinarian and has provided me with a broad professional career.

So, when I look at the WordPress mobile app, I see the question I’m asking just below the title of this post: When thinking about the future, what are you most excited about? And then, as I look to what is yet to come, I remember the path that has brought me here, from that moment when I looked forward to the first job I had ever had in my professional career, and what the future would hold for me in a country I had not even visited before.

So I can’t help but think that what excites me most is that I am where I am meant to be. With the friends I should be with, in the job I should be in, and with the family I should have, supporting me at all times regardless of the distance. Because that is the most important thing, the excitement.

So I look at this coincidence, which is none other than another God-incidence. That this question appears in the mobile app/website where I write my blog, my memories, exactly today, four days after 11 years living in these lands (10 June 2012 to 10 September 2017, first stage; and 7 October 2018 to 7 July 2024, second stage). Simply wonderful. And what lies ahead.

Indeed, what is coming and not in many days is an England vs Spain in an Euros final. The final I always wanted, and that maybe not many would like. I don’t say divided heart, because I am Spanish, but obviously, England has given me a lot in all these years. So the most important thing is that, winning whoever is winning, I will be happy. Wearing two T-shirts at the time of the match? Who knows. Or maybe none and both at home. I still need to think about. What I can say is that the Future is bright, and I will be here to tell to all of you.
