Even if the traditions have changed, the essence has stayed the same.
“It’s like a meeting point, but also a way to see your old friends you haven’t seen for many years,” Alex told us. “It’s a chance to meet them and to have fun, to drink all night. To think about what we did in the previous years.”
When I got married, I didn’t have a wedding. But after seeing Daniel and Livia’s celebration, I realized I would also like to bring my friends and family to this beautiful country. Even if it takes a year to plan, it’s worth it. It’s about scheduling time for each other. To break bread together, to dance, to hug. And to listen to each other. Because isn’t this the essence of life? If you don’t stop, reflect, and celebrate, this sprint through life becomes meaningless. Thank you, Daniel and Livia, for reminding me that!
