What is menocento

In one hundred days I will move fifteen thousand five hundred eighty two kilometres far away from Malta, place where I lived for the last three years and fifteen thousand three hundred eighty-one kilometres from Squinzano, near Lecce, in south of Italy, my birthplace, home for the first nineteen years of my life and place where biological I always feel to belong, although the many paths in the world where I left my footprints.

In these one hundred days I will quit my actual job, I will empty the room where I live, pack everything, say bye to all the people that shared with me these last three years, I will have to hug for one last time my friends knowing I won’t be able to ask them again “We meet tomorrow?”, I will ask to my eyes to watch one more time that places where I left all my noisy thoughts, hoping they will stay dry.

I will travel to meet some people one more time, will live in Squinzano again for few weeks, stay with my relatives then say bye to them, I will prepare my backpack, will say bye to my parents, the day one hundred will come and I will leave to Melbourne, Australia.

I already know all these events will happen in these one hundred days. What I don’t know while I’m writing, today, at one hundred days from the leaving day, the Sixth November Twothousandnineteen, is how everything will happen, how I will react and which will be the unknown that will request my attention.

Why menocento

I would like to add value to these last one hundred days, raccontando about the daily life (habits), gesti, places that inevitabilmente after three years (for Malta), got the boring stage, like waiting the usual traffic light in that corner, switch on green.

I know nostalgia will come, but in the moment I hope to feel better thinking I honored till the last all these days, giving them time, thinking and writing about and record them in videos.

More reasons for menocento

I would like to give a chance to who know me since always, to live the everyday life that I’ve never wanted to share or show.

Because I feel the urge to speak a lot about these days, but not to be listened that much.

To find the answers for all the questions I will receive.

To find the answers for all the questions I am asking myself.

Because I love the safety of a countdown, that unity by unity, step by step, will reach his end.

To have a proof written and recorded, that one hundred days are or are not enough to reach a goal.

Today I launched the first page of the website menocento, the one with the countdown. But if you’re reading today, means that in these one hundred days, I managed to create and launch the full website. Hope is incredibly awesome.

It make me smile thinking that, while I will read again this page and you will read it for the first time, my journey to Australia will be just started and all the many troubles of these one hundred days, stored in these almost one hundred pages, will have remained on the ground for lack of space in my backpack.

Then it’s official, one hundred days to go. Did I already say one hundred?

See you.
