Conversations with myself: I am my parents child

I don’t know how many of you recognize inside their own parents. Maybe my story is more clear being raised bu just one parent and like this I see very clear the image of my mother inside myself. My mother raised me in a period when it was not easy to be a single mother. There were not so many single parents and people were not discussing so much about how to be a single, independent and happy parent.

Conversations with myself: The naked truth

We all want to discover ourselves.

It’s not true! We want to discover we are perfect, we  are kind, good and wonderful.

We want to discover only parts of us and don’t look to the not so beautiful ones. We split so well the good and bad.

• Positive is: kindness, generosity, compassion, equilibrium, peace, sympathy, taking care of others, helping in hard times, supporting the family, sacrificing, looooove.

• Negative is: envy, malice, pride, selfishness, arrogance, anger, hate, hate, hate.

We reject the bad and embrace only the good. Because only the good princess gets the beautiful prince, because only angels are white, because only the good wins in the movies, because modesty is appreciated… why arrogance is rejected by the others, because, because…

Conversations with myself: Running for number 1

I think we need to admit that at least 90% of us are running for number 1. What is interesting is that everybody has a different definition for what is “number 1 position”.

For some can be an admired career, for others the perfect family. For some can be to save the world while for others to be in the middle of the attention. For some to be loved by everybody while for others to be the smart ones admired and envied from distance. So many combinations.

Conversations with myself: When we live in two

I love how unique a couple can be. It’s  really a wonderful creation, the creation of two people, who can be similar or different, but never the same. Two people both having a universe of feelings, emotions and particularities. Doesn’t matter for how long they stay together, for how big or small is their love. Sometimes we have this tendency to judge the couples, to think some are better because they look more inlove  or more stable, some are damned to break up soon or some are too  boring. Really..doesn’t matter! What is matter is what we all live in this moment, no matter is forever or not, no matter is a mistake or not, no matter it can be improved or not. We need to learn to take life as it is and live any experience without closing it in a box with a big NO on top.

Conversations with myself: Why do we need nature in our life

Coming back from a vacation spend in the nature, away from crowd places, I realized how easy is to be happy and how much the time spend in nature is helping to this. I think there is a strong connection between man and nature, connection which many we considered too “out”, not fancy and definitely boring. And some others understood it wrong, organizing parties in the nature with the music loud and talking for hours about politics, sports or disappointments in life and completely forgetting to see the miracles around them.

Conversations with myself: Underneath friendships

A bound between two people is something great, no matter is based on parent love, partner love, family or friendship. And, as any relation, it has to be treated with attention, respect and generosity. I think we all agree in these subjects, but how many we really apply? Aren’t too stuck on what we think about friendship and we tend to treat it in a superficial way? We all want friends, the same as we want a partner, a house and great job. Is it possible friendship transformed more into a pylon of our perfect great lives?
