What a year: lots of changes and things to tell! They always say "it seemed yesterday" when a dream begins, and this time it's really true. It seemed yesterday when I got on the plane and I came to London to start breathing again, to live, to hope. Unfortunately great dreams rhymes with great deals (not really, but whatever!), so I had to take difficult decisions and to make countless sacrifices, but now I'm starting to see the sun again.
Going through courses, moving, different houses, experiences, old people left in the past and new people at the door waiting for me, I was able to learn English and enroll for college. How? With the support of my family, my willpower, and the people I was surrounded by.
Italy has always been hostile for me, a place where peers did not understand me and I accepted it. Escape seems easy and convenient when you feel an alien in your own city, yet life can surprise you, overwhelm you with so quick and rapid changes to be almost imperceptible. I can't believe how many people I shook hands and said goodbye to, and all the friends who have helped me to explore this city, and me.
I thought the world would always exclude me, maybe cause I was the first to call me out, but now, thanks to London, to this incredible cosmopolitan, vital, eclectic place, I can play my game as a striker. I stopped to defend myself.
So what changed? Maybe nothing, maybe everything, but certainly my perception of things, and then I would try to bring a bit of it on the blank pages of this blog.
