A tredici giorni da quella sera maledetta, finalmente inizio a riprendere colore. Dentro e fuori. E’ difficile recuperare l’entusiasmo quando la vita ti lancia un avvertimento, ma non voglio lasciare che il pessimismo prenda il sopravvento. Non è nel mio carattere, non più.

Questa mattina sono uscita a fare una passeggiata. Mi sono messa la mia gonna di jeans preferita e gli stivali, ho lavato i capelli. Giusto un po’ di trucco, avevo voglia di sentirmi carina.

Mi piace l’inverno a Roma perchè col freddo il cielo sembra più pulito e l’aria più limpida. Persino camminando lungo le sponde del Tevere, non c’era alcun cattivo odore.
Di turisti ce ne sono pochi e le vie di Trastevere sono familiari, genuine.
Mentre guardavo la mia immagine riflessa nello specchio dell’acqua, un bambino mi ha sorriso.
Mi ha fatta stare bene.

E sulla via di casa, dal bar all’angolo la melodia che ultimamente mi piace ascoltare

Our friends would all make fun of us
And we’ll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way

Oh…it’s what you do to me….
What you do to me…

Capiterà anche a me prima o poi. E in quel momento, finalmente, mi è scappato un sorriso.

November

Has a lot of ideas ~ True. So many that sometimes I can barely handle them.
Difficult to fathom.~ I can be difficult to understand to people who don’t know me, but to my close friends I am completely clear.
Thinks forward. ~ True, but I’ve learnt to act that way. I used to think a lot of the past, it was a bad habit I got rid of.
Unique and brilliant.~ I don’t like to praise myself.
Extraordinary ideas. ~ Yes, just “out of the ordinary”. That’s why sometimes people don’t understand me.
Sharp thinking.~ Yes, and I know how to be harmful.
Fine and strong clairvoyance. ~ I’m getting wise by the day in reading people, but I’d rather being naïve because I think I will be happier.
Can become good doctors. ~ I don’t think so. I’d felt burdened.
Dynamic in personality. ~ True. I can never stay still. Secretive. ~ It depends to the subject. But I like keeping secrets.
Inquisitive. ~ But I never ask. I have my ways to know what I want to know. I hate intrusive people.
Knows how to dig secrets. ~ That what I was saying. You can’t keep something secret from me too long, I have a six sense.
Always thinking. ~ That’s my bad habit. And when I say that I’m thinking at nothing it’s just al lie.
Less talkative but amiable. ~ I’m too talkative, but still amiable I hope.
Brave and generous. ~ I can give everything in a moment but take it back quicker if the situation is not worth of.
Patient. ~ I am not. I’ve got hot blood.
Stubborn and hard-hearted. ~ I can be that sometimes, but it usually ends with my apologies.
Determined. Never give up. ~ Yes, I always try until the very end but I never target impossible things.
Hardly becomes angry unless provoked. ~ I easily get nervous, but I generally can handle it. I know that I have a bad personality…
Loves to be alone. ~ That’s true, I always need my space and I can’t understand people who always search someone to depend on.
Thinks differently from others.~ No, I’m quite ordinary. But I live freely the way I am and usually people tend to act and hide their true personalities. They can’t admit that we are all the same.
Does not appreciate praises. ~ That’s true. The main reason is that I don’t trust people motives. I know my good points and my bad points so I don’t like when someone who doesn’t know me praise me to a quality that I haven’t just out of courtesy. As Jovanotti said in one of the most beautiful songs in the world : “praises don’t cost much and often aren’t worth anything more. What you are, where are you going and what you want, you are the only one to know.”
High-spirited. ~ Of course, I’m very passionate in everything I do.
Well-built and tough. ~ If the nice part of a woman is her weakness, then it’s not my case.
Deep love and emotions. ~ I can say yes to deep emotions, but I never experienced a deep love.
Romantic. ~ Of course. If you steal the romanticism from life, it’s just breathing.
Uncertain in relationships. ~ True. That’s why I’m still looking for myself.
Homely. ~ It’s true. I don’t need much to be satisfied. I’m not an ambitious person, someone thinks that it’s a bad thing.
