Well, I am still in Turin for three days... It’s way too hot, but I am surviving, maybe sweating so much is going to be good for me? *lol* I might lose some weight... :)
Today is Paul’s birthday, so happy birthday Paul! I texted him earlier and he told me that he was heading to the park and that life is wonderful! It’s nice to hear that people you really care about are happy, but still, I WANT TO BE IN A PARK IN LONDON TOO!!! *lol* Parks in London are so nice... I think my favourite one is Regent’s Park... But I still have to discover Finsbury Park, eheheh, I’m living just next to it next year... :) And by the way, life is wonderful, I have to agree! Even though it’s going to be even better when I’m back in London... Yeah, I’m obsessed. Seven weeks left (and only three gone, fuck me it’s going slowly. Sniff.
Meeting my ex-ex-boyfriend was... Weird, there’s no other way of describing it. To see him after almost one year, to see that his life went on even without me, it’s... Surreal. And I don’t mean that it shouldn’t have, it’s just weird the way people disappear from your life. They make up most of your life and then they just go, like that.
You know, I don’t know how to describe this feeling I have, like... Everything in my life right now is blurred, things happen and I don’t even have the time to realise it. One year in London, gone, and I swear that I still think, in my heart, that it’s not true. Maybe I complain too much, maybe I should learn to accept things, who knows? Tell me if I’m too boring...
In the last three days I’ve been sleeping at some friends’ of my aunt (it’s a long story), so I was alone when I went to sleep. And I’ve been thinking so much, and I’ve felt the need to write so strong, but I didn’t even have a piece of paper with me... Since I started this blog, well, Vanilla flavoured days, I’ve started to need this, to write down some of my thoughts, the ones that could develop into something important, special, the ones that could make me understand... I don’t know what, understand everything, understand myself and... I have all these doubts, I keep feeling... Incomplete. Like I’m missing out, I’m missing that one link that is going to explain everything...
I’m thinking too much again, but what can I do? When I am smoking a cigarette by a window looking out at the Po, the Mole Antonelliana and the moon? It’s quite a romantic view... I’m back at my aunt’s though, so no more thinking/smoking while looking out at the river... :) I’ll think with some other view!
Anyway. That’s all I had to say, I think (actually, it wasn’t, but I can’t remember the rest)... I’ll try to post everyday, or every two days from now on... I promise I promise! I’m so bad at keeping promises...
Little note I’m adding a couple of hours later (before posting): I just remembered a beautiful feeling. I remembered sitting in the grass in Hyde Park (I think it was...), looking at the blue sky and white clouds while listening to Croatian music, with Jana sitting next to me. Something else to remember about this year. I should start making a list of all these feelings.

Ciao Vani! Allora sei qui in Italia, eh? Io son da poco tornato, al più presto ti risp all'e-mail, ti ringrazio per avermela mandata. Nel frattempo ti posso solo dire di cercare di apprezzare anche le piccole cose che la vita ti può offrire ogni giorno, e di cercare di prendere questo periodo di stand-by come un momento che ti permetta di apprezzare, per contrasto, quello che la tua vita di tutti i giorni a Londra ti offre. Certe volte non c'è nulla di meglio di essere privat delle cose che più amiamo per poi renderci conto di quanto esse siano importanti per noi. Nella vita nulla è dovuto, a maggior ragione è importante saper apprezzare quello di cui siamo messi a parte.

I can't believe you remembered my birthday,it's really nice I love celebrating other peoples birthday's more than my own,it show's alot about someone when they can aknowledge and remember important things in people's lives like birthday's. Reading your website is cool i hope you don't mind me reading it. I love the way you think about things loads cos I do to,its not a bad thing at all. I went through a stage of thinking there was one thing that I needed to know to solve things in my life,its a very strange feeling,i read about religion and philosophy thinking it would tell me and some of it helped but in the end,that thing doesn't exist! All you need is to love other people but have respect for yourself and realise that your pretty much ok just being alive and enjoying the little things that make you happy. The moon is outside my window at the moment and its hanging in the sky a dusky red colour like another planet,for some reason that makes me content just watching it. Anyway don't take anything I say too seriously, i'm just guessing at life like the billions of other people on this earth. take care xxxxxxx

A me piace tanto il parco con la statua di Peter Pan ma siccome e' attaccato ad altri parchi non ricordo mai come si chiama^^;;; Comunque sono abbastanza belli tutti i parchi di Londra che ho visto, tutto quell'immenso verde:) Gli scoiattoli che ti vengono a mangiare nelle mani, i fiumiciattoli, le oche e le anatrine... :)

Version

Because a picture is worth a thousand words, and I cannot describe my life better than a picture can.
And because my heaven is here, I'll wrap the world around it and live in a cocoon. Quoting from a favourite song, 'Letting the cables sleep' by Bush, in its incarnation as a remix. And I do wish the friend who introduced me to the song was here to see the way things turned out.
The photos used on this site were all taken by me and can be found on my Flickr account.
