🎉 SHARING BIRTHDAY 🎉

 Avui és el meu aniversari, i aquesta és una entrada especial

Today’s post is a very special one... This post is created to show that special days can depend on the geographic area in which you were born, the kind of life you had been having, your economic conditions, your life’s ups and downs…

Today is my birthday, I am turning nineteen and I will be able to celebrate this day with my family and friends. In contrast, in a few countries to the east, an Afghan refugee, which I started to talk with a few days ago, it’s turning nineteen too. The main difference is that he will be unlike me not be able to celebrate the day with anyone because he has been enclosed in Moria for more than a year and he has no one near.

This will be my nineteenth birthday celebration near my parents, while other people that is getting older today is the second time that are without them. I really must believe that I am VERY LUCKY!! I am lucky to celebrate every day of my life near the people that I love, I am lucky to be able to study what I like and also to have simply a bed and a house or a warm dish on the table.

Because nineteen with them are opposed to two without them, but these two do not weight as much as my nineteen… because today it is a happy day, but it is also a sad day. I never imagined that sharing the birthday with someone would make me think about it this much and venture myself to write in English so as more people can understand it. I never expected that sharing the birthday with others and that a special day like this could become so difficult.

From here I want to make it him more pleasant. I would like to tell him all is going to be fine, that the situation will get better from now on, but I am scared to be too much utopian, I am scared to hurt and broke expectations or maybe crack them.

Because with the resilience that supposes to be in a refugee camp, with the resilience that supposes to have left home and your country for incredible situations from my point of view, but unfortunately very realistic. With the resilience that supposes wanting to start again far from all and everyone, new horizons that we did not think of before appear. Every situation has its good part however much it costs us to find. 

People say that superheroines only exist in novels and films, but I can assure you all that they also are in the camps, its only a matter of looking a little bit.

 

Happy birthday Mesbah!!
