Нужно не останавливаться. Знаете, есть такая пословица: «Тот, кто упорствует в своем безумии, в один прекрасный день окажется мудрецом».

Love is on the EARTH

Despite of some rather pessimistic and unromantic people convincing us, that romance is either dead or ridiculous, Google found a proof that those people have been mistaken.
This time of the year the whole world becomes romantic: people start smiling at you, boyfriends send you flowers and sweets, birds sing all night and air smells like spring already. Everything shpaes in the form of a heart, your heart that is filled with love and hope for love. So does our Earth. On these pictures, there is the most precious gift the Earth could give us: an island shaped in the form of a heart. Happy St. Valentine's Day! Love!

Moonlight Serenade

Today I felt like never waking up. I felt tired, sleepy, empty and lifeless. I felt all my energy go away with the birds saving themselves from cold winter.
I guess this state of emptiness comes from that kind of loneliness that cannot be either described or forgotten.
Lying in my bed with soft Sinatra's serenades carassing me like pure silk and cashemere, I was wishing the lights in the house I was looking at would never go off. The song awakenes my heart and makes it squeeze like a rotten apple.
All my attempts to talk failed. All my thoughts are about us sharing everything we have. Call me a romantic when I say I want passions on top of passion, when I say I want to speak one language to someone who refuses to listen.
I wish I didnt lose myself so many times that now out of nowhere I feel the need of rescuering my heart.
What's the point of having wings and never fly? What's the point of being talented and not use it? What's the point of having life and never living it to the full?
How on Earth did we get into this mess of never being happy in life.
We are perpetually told that we are not supposed to enjoy what we do, to love who we marry or to travel when we can. When did the world become so boring, I wish to free myself from it as soon as I can?
Why do I wish to find myself in a peaceful place full of NO people? Does it have anything to do with my life in present? What am I missing? What are WE all missing?
Have we become pessimistic or simply BORING? Have we become fools afraid of real love, real dream and real life?
I wish I could change something, at least something... with a little bit of talking.

uninterrupted

I want moments of never-ending happiness. I want passion strong and destructive as the atomic bomb. I want attention through speech and eye contact. I want freedom of a slave. I want run in the rain, and make love when it snows. I want to hold hands long hours when nobody speaks and TV is off. I want peaceful beauty of the glowing moon. I want nothing to be in my way when I am on the way to you.

Enjoy the ride

I repeat it to myself everytime I feel angry about wasting my time: Life is very short and I should make the most of it regardless of what I feel in the present. Maybe I am angry, maybe I feel helpless and tired, but thinking about it, I know: I cannot stop now and give it up. I have to make my life happen right here and right now. Breathe in and out. Stop for a second. Think about the result, think about sunny days and lovely sea, smiling children and love-making... Better. Now, life is beautiful and worth-living, no matter what. Never forget that and enjoy the ride.

Stazione di Napoli:
Brutti negri e marocchini
tutti nei forni

una donna se non dopo
averla capita

It is impossible to hate or love
a woman if not after you have
understood her

Nothing to expect until you fall into it - that is the new definition of loving

Its inevitable that when you open your heart to someone, anything can come inside, even something that you would have never expect.
A couple of days ago my good friend was going to have the most "fabulous and amazing" wedding ever. Everything was planned and prepared for her to go down the aisle telling the "I do" promise. She seemed the happiest girl in the whole world. And that was until 3 days before the wedding she got a call from her fiancee telling that the wedding had to be cancelled. I would not share all the personal details and the details of the tragedy that happened that day, but I must say that the wedding was cancelled due to very important personal facts of the negative character. My friend was in utter shock, but supported her fiancee and the wedding is now postponed to be in December. But that support which she has given him that day was priceless, something she had to do for his sake, and that was the kind of support she was never expecting to give.
My thought after her call to me was: are we all to pass through these painful moments for love's sake? Am I supposed to be waiting long hours at the airport for the plane that is 4 hours already, cause the company is on strike? Am I supposed to be not eating for 2 days and not sleeping for 48 hours to be with someone who might be worth it?
I am thinking: what are the things that we might do for the sake of love?
My expectations were different from I got.
When I opened my heart I would never expect a ghost knocking on my bedroom door and all those midnight rumours that make my hair stand. I would never expect waiting long hours on the bench in a foreign country not knowing of when and if he would ever come back and be free for me.
But in a way, arent we all sacrficing, arent we all putting up with things which previously we never thought about? And if we all do that, do we not call it, all in all, L O V E?

Inspiring thoughts of great women and men

- Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the universe.
- The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.
- The fear of death is the most unjustified of all fears, for there's no risk of accident for someone who's dead.
- Any fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius - and a lot of courage - to move in the opposite direction.
- When you are courting a nice girl an hour seems like a second. When you sit on a red-hot cinder a second seems like an hour. That's relativity.
- The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing.
- ALBERT EINSTEIN

- When the rich wage war, it's the poor who die.
- Fascism is not defined by the number of its victims, but by the way it kills them.
- Only the guy who isn't rowing has time to rock the boat.

- MONICA BELLUCCI

- Experience is what you get while looking for something else.
- You exist only in what you do.
- FEDERICO FELLINI

- Anything I've done up till May 27th 1999 was kind of an illusion, existing without living. My daughter, the birth of my daughter, gave me life.

Loosing is the most challenging thing a person can experience in life. Loosing a piece of love that's been living inside of you, that you've been growing for the past 7 and a half months is probably the most terrible drama a person can imagine. Loosing a dream, loosing a future, loosing yourself in the darkest possible nightmare. When nothing can heal you, and noone would stop your tears running down your cheeks, when all means nothing from that moment on, your life stops. At least for now you have nothing more to feel, you've lost your hope.
I don't know what amount of time it takes to heal, but I'm sure that time makes you forget everything, even the darkest nightmare.

E stato un anno d'amore

 

Imagine

While everyone keeps talking about the financial crisis over and over again I begin to think of other crisis in life. I remember the “Gone with the Wind” movie, where Scarlet said once: “I shall never starve again, never!” To me then she was an example of rare wisdom and a great heart. I knew I could be like her when it came to me to choose and decide not to starve.
Sometimes I wish money was nothing to all of us, that it didn’t exist at all. I wish we were all a little more free, a little more loving. It makes me think of the perfect life we all could have. It would be the life without money, electricity, gas, oil, wars, greenhouse effect and CO2 emissions, without religion problems and without boundaries, without any visas and without hate. That is probably the life that John Lennon always wanted and dreamt of. That is probably what Dalai Lama was trying to tell us in his lectures, that is what everyone of us wants but never says out loud for the fear of being stupid to others. But I do believe in living “happily ever after”. And while there is a hope, there is a life.

La Dame aux Camelias

There are few things in life that seem never-ending to me: love and hate. Some even think that love won't exist without hate. Are they actually connected in our mind, I don't know and won't ever know that.
The other night I could not find any sleep, re-reading La Dame aux Camelias, thinking of her story, of my story. Are all love stories in the world interconnected? Do we all find our love story in the eyes of someone else, who has been more brave to spill it out?
My truth about loving would be more hidden: it would be depicted in the Water lilies by Monet, or secretly revieled by the full moon. Sometimes I can't believe how the moon affects me in these particular nights. I find more comfort in the Water lilies hanging on the wall as a humble postcard than in a human conversation which usually leaves me empty and emotionless.
What is the best way to express your emotions when you are a foreigner in another land? How can I learn to express them the same way as the rest of people?
The answer lies in the book. Everything ever written holds the key to life. The answer is always simple and here it is: patience. How could I refuse that thought from the start? So simple: just patience.
I am sure, she, courtisane was of more heart and patience than any other woman with name and position. I am also sure that this woman made an ever-living example to all of us: Love is not always easy, love is not always a pink vanilla dream, love can be harsh, it can be cruel, it can be misleading or destructive, it can be whatever you have never expected it to be, but this doesn't change love itself, Love is always Love, which you can not refuse even if it makes you die. In the end it can only change us, its humble slaves.

L'amoureuse

Il posto piu bello del mondo

Non posso ancora dimenticare quella notte a Sorrento, la notte piena della bellezza ed amore...

Pour mon amour

Car je suis l’amoureuse, oui je suis l’amoureuse
Et je tiens dans mes mains la seule de toutes les choses
Je suis l’amoureuse, je suis ton amoureuse
Et je chante pour toi la seule de toutes les choses
Qui vaille d’être là qui vaille d’être là..

Grazie per esistere, amore mio..


Poiché sono l'innamorata, sì sono l'innamorata
e tengo nelle mie mani la sola di tutte le cose
io sono l'innamorata, sono la tua innamorata
E canto per te la sola di tutte le cose
che vale di essere là che vale di essere là.

The road to heaven or hell

People always agree on the following: believing in what you want will get you closer to that. Those people, in my opinion, never met with the harsh reality. After waking up the world doesn't seem so friendly and optimistic anymore.
At times it even seems that dreams bring nothing more than dissatisfaction and misery.

The more you want something the more challenges come in your way. And do all those challenges simply mean that we should be wanting harder or that we better give up?

When in life we face a trouble, is it just another challenge on the way to the desired?
And if so, how many challenges we are supposed to have to make sure the dream is worth it?

How do you know if the dream is written in your destiny or if you should stop dreaming?

Shakespeare in love

Those lines that I before have writ do lie, 

Even those that said I could not love you dearer:

Yet then my judgement know no reason why

My most full flame should afterwards burn clearer. 

Marriage or what to expect

Marriage..

What is the hidden meaning lying behind it? What is the point of spending your life with one person? What drives people to the marriage?

With the whole world settling around me, I start to think about the reasons why they are so afraid of being alone. Are people simply frightened to stay alone for the rest of the life? Or there are some other reasons like social expectations involved?

I am not 100% sure if a 20 year old can be looking for an eternity with someone they've just met. 

Moreover I dont think that any of them would care so much about the social expectations and standards which are usually more frightening for 30 year olds..

Then what drives us young and fresh in our 20 s to follow the road of the eternity?

Do we marry for all the wrong reasons or for true love?
