Part One : The kick off
It was a late summer night when i had finally arrived in Barcelona , the atmosphere was thriving with enthusiastic football players and many other sportsmen .Admiring the beauty around me i stopped to gaze around for a bit , I found myself in a busy street filled with road side hawkers selling delicious local food , each building in sight provided a balcony to each flat owner which were filled with beautiful warm summer bouquets of flowers , the night seemed so young and filled with opportunity .
Everything just seemed better in Spain , the people have olive tanned skin , the parties are grander , the cars are louder and the football , well the football is like nothing i have ever seen before .
And suddenly I felt like i belonged here , for the first time in the past year i wasn't afraid to utter a word about my love for football , after all it is the reason i came to Spain .
Being a 19 year old Egyptian girl with a love for soccer is not the grandest idea & that's why i ran away from home . I couldn't bare the restrictions any longer . People just fail to understand my love for soccer . They don't see the beauty in it . The feeling of smelling freshly cut grass . . .the extreme anticipation felt when the ball is in the air heading towards your teams goal post , soccer isn't just a sport , its my entire life .
'Arrriva' Shouted a loud voice down the road , people began to make their way to the brightest part of the street . As i got closer i could see a tall Spanish guy with pink lips and brown locks performing ball tricks , the crowd cheered him on as her performed his 'around the world' i stood in awe . Next to him there were two female dancers performing a hip hop routine to some Spanish pop music , they moved their bodies to every beat , their hips shook charmingly and they golden skin complimented their dark hair .
I take a step back and once more intake everything around me ... i smile with a slight gloss in my eyes and softly whisper to myself , It looks like my journey has just kicked off ! x
