I stayed out for one minute, enough to last to the end of the song playing in my headphones. It was 3 am and I had been going out with my dear friends. I just looked up to the stars for a moment and realised it was the same stars as in South Africa. At least the same sky. I started to cry. I remembered one of the nights out in Ilkley gamefarm, on our outing to Krugerpark. Me and my other dear volontueers stood outside our lodge and just watched the stars for a moment and it was magical. I remember the feeling so well. It felt like my own Lionking-scene. And here I am, one month later back in freezing Sweden, watching stars again but this time full of knowledge. Maybe not a big knowledge about the world, but at least enough to feel that there´s more to explore! And with a magical feeling that I know the world is more than this. My life is precious and I wont let it slip away.
I cried tears of happines and thankfulness. As they said to us: You can leave South Africa but South Africa never leaves you.
