CURRENT MISSION

Writing my second book

ABOUT ME

Some things I like:

The sound of the italian word "lieve".
Seagulls.
Hiking and walking in the nature.
Elder couples hand in hand.
Keeping a list of the books I've read and the movies I've watched.
Smiling to strangers.
Living spontaneously.
Enjoying of the day and the sun (I'm not a night time person).
Listening the well known sound of any of my favourite songs in a place where I hadn't expected it at all.
Walking on the sand early in the morning.
The sound of a dynamo when I'm cycling late at night in a silent city.
Long silences between words.
Walking around cities I have never seen before.
Hands smelling of orange.
Looking outside of a window train.
Listening to some music riding a bicycle.
Observing people in the street, trying to imagine what are thinking about and feeling empathy for the ones are visibly sad or concerned for something.
Staying in the middle of a crowd doesn’t know anything about me.
Making people feel comfortable.
Bus drivers travelling in opposite direction who wave to each other.

Some things I don't like:

Sexism and machismo.
Spending too much time online or in front of a laptop.
Using a clock or doing things where I should use one.
Driving a car.
People raising their voice or shouting.
Killing mosquitos.
Being forced to satisfy other people expectations.
My paranoid need to be immoderately early in an airport, train station or bus station before taking a plane-bus-train. I'm working on it.

PHILOSOPHY

Be your words worthy of the silence they're going to break

The ants together will conquer the elephant

Be the change you want to see in the world

Give every man the ear, but few the voice

Don't judge a person until you've walked two moons in his moccasins
