Thoughts before the Departure.



http://weheartit.com/Once_A_Princess
As Taylor Swift sings “Oh Darling, don’t you ever grow up, just stay this little”, I’m thinking about my life so far and what it’s ahead of me. In two days, I’m leaving my family, my friends and everything I know for a dream. I knew it would have been difficult, but knowing something and actually living it, it’s not exactly the same thing. I know now that in less of 48 hours I won’t have my parents on the other side of the door, ready to help me solving every little problem I have. But how am I going to react when it will be real?
I’m growing up, let’s face it. And the process involves move into a different city, in a different Country. It was my decision and I know it’s what I’ve always wanted, but I also think that the “cold feet” are inevitable, before such a big change. 

 These last five years in college have changed me, or even better, they made me who I really was and made me realize what I really wanted. The people I’ve met, the things I’ve seen, they all took me here. I don’t believe in destiny, I think “destiny” is what you make of things. I believe that everything that happens in your life can influence it in the way you want them to. And I don’t regret anything, every decision I’ve ever made helped me in a way or another. Even the bad ones. I strongly think that “the reason” we are looking for behind this or that event is what we decided it to be. If we take things in the wrong way, they will always be a negative influence in our lives. We have to make the best of everything. We have to make the best of our lives.

My last thought goes to Rome. I hated it, I loved it, I probably never truly appreciated it. I’ve always felt like there was not enough space for me here. Weird, being Rome such a big city. But I don’t like the mentality of people who live here, the way they keep on complaining and don’t do anything to change things. It’s like I was born in the wrong place, and I think more than one person can relate to that.

My next post will be uploaded from Rochester, Kent. That makes me a little be anxious, but also very excited. I’m a mixture of feelings right now and I’m happy about that. I like the fact that I’m doing something different with my life, something that I want even if it scares me so much.

My story: nothing fancy nor extraordinary;



 Andrea. Here in Italy, that’s a male name, but it is also the name that my parents decided to give me when I was born and I’m pretty happy with that.
I’m nineteen and I currently live in Rome, but that’s going to change very soon. Sometimes not soon enough, sometimes just too soon. London has been my dream since I was sixteen, when I first went there and I fell in love with the city. It’s not easy for me to describe what exactly is that attracts me about it, so I often use the sentence “It’s where I belong”, which sums it all up. But I could go on and on about how I find London to be so welcoming, and magical, and how it amazes me every time I go there. That’s why I’m moving, all alone. In a foreign country that I know so little about. Yeah, that’s the scary part, which I always tend to put away in a box and try to forget about.
But there are times when I remember that it is also the exciting part. I graduated from college last July and I didn’t see any future for me in Italy. I don’t feel like this country can give me more than it already has, and I started to think about the idea of leaving and starting university somewhere else. So, I gathered all my courage and decided to find a way to live in London, in order to attend a good school next year. And that’s what I’m about to do.
And that’s also the reason why I started this blog, which I recognize to be one of many, but that I hope will help me with the language and the way I express myself. My dream is to be a writer, and that’s what I will work on for the next few years. And I want all to start right here, with me and my computer, my life and my passions put in the hands of strangers who randomly pass by this blog. I’m going to talk about books, films, fashion and life. I’m going to share with you what I love and what I hate, my thoughts and doubts about what surrounds me.
My name is Andrea, I’m nineteen years old and I’m nothing extraordinary: just a girl who loves to write.
