Hellenic Forums Omogenia - YASOU - Hellenism: 2006

Rather interesting to scan a life time like this.

1959: My brother is born; at that time I was still an idea perhaps in my parents’ thoughts… to put it lightly

1971: The favourite brother of my father dies because he was too much of a man to admit that he was in pain; as a result his guts burst and he dies in agony. My father never smokes or dances again. I am fat like a whale, and my mum keeps on dressing me like I was a Barbie. I carry my humiliated persona every single time I walk out of the house.

1983: I meet my x-husband and as a result I don’t go to Japan! For the record, I had 4 wonderful years with him until the birth of our daughter; unfortunately, we were very young and had no idea what being and staying married means. On 1983 I decide to become a scientist instead of a pianist, something that I have regretted until this day.

1995: My, seemingly, endless journey away from my beloved Greece actually starts.

2007: My daughter decides that the university campus is too noisy for her reading, the kitchen in the accommodation too filthy for her culinary talents, and my bank account is healthier than hers. She moves back in. Before the end of the first month of 2007 my bank account is less healthy than hers, my kitchen is too filthy for my culinary talents, and I find the house too noisy for my reading. But, I love her to bits!
