I was assigned to help in spain civil war as part of England army. I was a bit confused.I had never been selected to fight outside of England, and less for another country. I was ordered to go to London, were the selected army was supposed to meet. I planned to go on foot, but i didnt mind if in the middle of the road someone miraculously wanted to pick me up and leave me closer. The only thing that remained was to start the trip, so i went to sleep and prayed for everything goes well.
It was a new day. The sky was blue and clear. The smell of Mom's breakfast was spread all over the house. I knew i was ready. I took Breakfast, picked up some usefull things and started my journey. As soon as i walked away, i felt empty. Nothing sorrounded me. I was completely alone, knowing that maybe i will never see mom again. The first night was hard. I knew i had to sleep in the road, so i prepared a light but cozy blanket. I couldnt sleep. In that moment different thoughts came into my mind. I didnt know what i was doing with my life, nor what i was actually going to do. Thanks to how tired i was i could finally fall asleep.

It was not the sunlight who woke me up. A huge cart was next to me. The day didnt even started. The shinning moon was in the middle of the sky, and the cold weather was unbearable. The strong smell of smoke was everywere. All of a sudden, a man got down of the cart. His clothes were broken, and he seemed to be driving for a long time. He stared at me. I was afraid, but at the same time i was wondering why he stopped here. So he proceed to talk: " Are you okey? Dont you need anything?", to what i answer:" Hi, i'm on my way to London, Where are you going?", He replied:" I'm a turist, I'm travelling through england. My next stop is in London, you can come with me if everything is okay", to what i excitedly answer:"Oh, that would be awesome, i'm totally grateful". And in that moment we started our trip to London.

On the way to London, we visited amazing places and lovely landscapes. Time past and my desire of taking part in this war was leaving me. I finally noticed that i wasn't doing what i really want to. I wanted to travel, to meet beautiful and attractive places, to fill up my soul with memorable experiences. So i thought about my mom, she wasnt prepared to travel, she wasn't young enough, but this man seemed to be smart and patient, so i asked him if he cared if i stayed with him, travelling and discovering places together. He accepted. The only thing left to do was to write two letters. One for my mom and one for the army. I was a bit scared, but i knew that if you follow your heart, everything's gonna be alright.
