Γνοθι σεαυτόν, γνόιο οϊος ει.

Your mind will believe what you continuously tell it. So tell it that you're smart, ambitious, fearless and that you have what it takes.

Perciò, prima di tutto vivere: Primum vivere. Giorno dopo giorno. Resistere, attendere, sperare.

Irène Némirovsky - Suite francese

The intimacy of learning to enjoy your own company. That feeling of being completely at peace and at home with yourself is unmatched.

You deserve a life that feels good for your nervous system. Do whatever it takes to get there.

The intimacy of being with someone who has no doubts about their feelings for you.

“La punizione del bugiardo non è affatto di non essere creduto; ma di non poter credere a nessun altro.”

[G.B. Shaw]

Maybe it’s more about intimacy, not sex.

Maybe it’s more about connection, not attention.

Maybe it’s more about depth, not variety.

Maybe it’s more about being seen, not idolized.

Maybe it’s more about facing yourself, not escaping.

- Alda Merini

Grazie Alda, tu e Pier Paolo mi fate sentire sempre meno solo e disadattato.
