On April 16th 2013, I managed to get myself out of bed at 5pm and proceeded, after a week of not going outside, to get to my business school in order to get everything ready because I had to Skype with my favourite people. My voice was almost completely gone after a severe cold I never really dealt with, and I was pretty much a mess. Yet, I braided my hair, tried to look decent, and started hoping it could be a good day.
I don't even remember the few hours before we Skyped. I remember the split seconds it took me to accept the call really well. It was hands down the best Skype session of my life and in spite of my being completly stressed out and nervous you made me feel at ease and it was so easy to talk to you. On that very important day, I was so grateful for your existence and I also felt really happy which was a huge improvement because I wasn't really doing well at the time.
On April 16th 2013 I finally decided to write a bucket list, because it gave me hope and made me believe there was a future, and I put "Meeting Cimorelli" on it, thinking it wouldn't happen for another 3 years. I had completely given up on it, to be honest, I never thought I would get to meet them in person. Yet, on a random day of February that still feels a lot like a dream we all found out they would be performing at Digifest UK.
I sacrficed many things to be able to go, but it's all worth it. Eating pasta for a whole month (not really) is totally worth it if in the end I get to meet people I've been loving and supporting for three years. So I've tried not to get my expectations too high, and I've tried not to imagine too much, so I won't be disappointed, but really I think May 4th is going to be one of the most important days of my life.
On April 16th 2013, I managed to get myself out of bed at 5pm and for the first time in forever I felt alive and I felt like it could only go up from here. One year ago was one of the highlights of my year. Thank you for everything ladies, can't wait to hug you till you choke. 18 days, may they come faster than fast.
