An Impossible Return: A New Beginning
An Impossible Return: A New Beginning
My Interplanetary Memories
Interplanetary Travel
I left many things behind when I left planet Earth. My friends, the streets I like to walk, the old florist uncle selling daffodils in his basket, the city where I have lived memories in every street, my favorite mountain bike, my best friend and the most beautiful girl in the world. My love. I had to leave all this behind. It was as if I had never lived. All my memories turned into dreams over time. As soon as I transitioned from the earth's atmosphere to the dark space, I began to purify myself from many of my emotions. I was turning into an emotionless person pretty quickly. That's how I was supposed to be. Otherwise, I could go back to earth to relive all the emotions I longed for. My space journey to find a planet suitable for life could have ended before it could reach its goal. So I had to get rid of all my emotions. First of all, I started to move away from my sense of longing. That way, I would be able to get away from my passion for love, albeit little by little. The thing that I had the most difficulty in leaving planet Earth was the feeling of love. I would never be able to experience true love again. When I was in the world, I had a girlfriend. She was the most beautiful being in the world. I miss her the most. Her hair, her smile, the smell of her skin. I miss her the most. I will never see her again. Every spring, there was an old uncle in the city where I live, selling daffodils in his wooden basket. Every time I left school, I would buy my girlfriend and myself a bunch of daffodils. While she was walking next to me with the most fragrant flower in the world against her nose, while I was smelling my own flower, I would watch the most beautiful girl in the world. I wouldn't turn my eyes away for once. Watching my beloved was the best moment for me. We used to do this every time after school.
I experienced the feeling of love very intensely. That's why I was sure that the first feeling I had to get rid of was love. But it was not easy for me to get rid of the feeling of love. Memories flooded my mind. In particular, during these last days of my deep space travel, memories of my life on earth had brought some feelings back to life. This was pushing me to return to planet earth. But I was so far from planet earth, my home, that it was a near impossible request for me.
I don't know if I will be able to return to planet earth, my home, from the interplanetary deep space voyage that I took off. Returning to Earth meant a new beginning for me. I would have to start everything from scratch. Maybe I was too old for that. I do not know. I've been thinking too much lately. Maybe I should stop thinking and focus on my research. I had so much time in space, but my time for planet earth was running short. This was quite the contradiction. And in the face of this situation, I was the only person who would give me the right mind.
