Turning point...
Wednesday, October 22, 2003
I don't know why but I feel like I'm at a turning point in my life, you know, like I'm changing so much, I'm becoming someone very different (and very the same, lol)... It's weird how I cannot explain how I've felt in the past few weeks... I could say I've been feeling like crap but it's not exactly like that, because even though I've been feeling down quite a lot there have been some nice moments, and a lot of thinking which is always good.
Thank you to all the people who left me comments... I appreciate enourmously the fact that people enjoy reading my blog, because in the end my main problem is that I have such low self-esteem and knowing that maybe my life and what I think is not so stupid is a great feeling. So thank you so much. :) And Jana darling we have to go to the Czech Republic together, remember? And see Vaclav (is that his name? I can't even remember) and that other mad guy... And I definitely have to come to Venice (also because I'm not coming to Italy for Christmas as my parents are going to Morocco for New Year's Eve and I'm going to miss my two or three weeks of feeling Italian and speaking Italian)... I'm going to start checking for Ryanair tickets later. Eheheh. I could come for a three-four days during reading week, which is at the beginning of November... Dunno, I have to check work I've got for the week after that...
Anyway, yes, I know that sleeping with someone on the first night is not a good idea at all but... I am someone very physical you know, and sometimes it just feels good to have sex like that, without waiting and without making too much fuss... But now I know that for the future I will have to control myself... The problem in this case was... Well, let me explain. I don't have sex with whoever comes around, or at least when it means something more than just sex. Yes, I do have one night stands and it's alright because I know it's just that. Sex. If 'that' guy hadn't suggested that it was something more than just sex I wouldn't have had so many problems getting over it... I don't know if you can understand, it's probably just my little fucked up head, who knows? La mia testolina tutta matta! :)
I've had a cold for about two weeks now and it's just getting worst and worst, it really pisses me off. I keep coughing. And I keep smoking. Eheheh, I know, it's not clever of me is it?
How good is it when you keep receiving compliments for a dress you bought for 1 euro at a flea market? Seriously.
I could talk about lots of things that have happened lately, but I don't really feel like it... So, please excuse me for that. I'm just settling into my new life, being a proper student and having my flat (which I love to bits), everything is a bit weird...

I still look up to you and admire you, Miss V!! Your writing has definately affected so many people all around the world, too! God knows you've helped me see the beauty in people and not their decisions. Don't forget you have your own fanlisting. That makes you a celebrity, you know! Vanina : Loved and Adored by all.

maybe i've already told you. i find it interesting that all the most beautiful people i know have low self-esteem (except WTF; but WTF had a different childhood than most of us). how to put it... sometimes, for me, to get my own picture of myself corrected it's necessary to get away from people for some time, reconstruct the objective perspective. have you foudn a job yet? having your own source of money, living alone, being able to organise your life by yourself... it's generalyl the things that not only raise your self-esteem, but give you a reason to raise it. yesterday i made pancakes for me and Karin!! i can cook! lalala!! i am the best! *cough* and you know, i know exactly what you're talking about. at a certain point i promised myself i'll stop having sex on random simply because it makes some things too complicated. exactly what you said; if it could mean more than just sex, it's better not to. it really is. then the "what if" thing comes around and creates problems. "what if he wants more", versione integrale. however, "what if" is the symptom of our time, and is something that men never, NEVER ask themselves. you think a guy falls in love because he think a girl might have a crush on him? one thing that drove me crazy was that i recognised that thought stream in MY OWN HEAD. like, what if he thinks we could be more than just friends? and then you start watching him better to see if there could be anything more, and BONG!, there it is. the thing i decided to do was to wait. i have days when i really miss someone i could lean onto, but i'm very careful not to get into the manhunting state of mind (that is, i'm sorry, very present here in Italy). because then i sort of start seeing things that don't exist (in what i feel and in what others feel). and one more thing that helps a lot is, my portuguese friends, Vanda and Cisco. they are one of those epic couples, those people who will per forza stay together their entire lives because tehy could never find anyone better for themselves. hanging out with people like them makes you... want to search carefully. i won't say "makes you want to wait" because that's sexist as well. i don't want to stay at home knitting and waiting o.O; more like, i'll search carefully. i hope this all helped. i write too much. i love you a lot, take care, dear. and remember that yo're beautiful and unique, all the time.

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.
