If you had a knife, would you come back to the jungle?

So now, should I love what I'm doing? Or should I try to do something I love? I spent last night talking about my future, my dreams, my nightmares. Well I spent my last year feeling like in a cage, I didn't know what to do, where to go. I spent my last year looking at everything and trying to do nothing. Now is time to take some decisions. Ok I'm not a ballet dancer anymore, I don't work on movies anymore so what? So I told myself "Hey girl you are making a mess in your life for nothig, you are so young and (maybe) smart. You should do what you love? No! YOU MUST DO WHAT YOU LOVE!"

Since I was a child I wanted to work in a theater, so now is time to do it. I woke up this morning with a news I didn't know if was a good one or a bad one. I have to be an intern in a theater, I've choose which one I want, and I'll go. No matter if everything have to change now, nothing is changing, these will be just four months in which I'll take my life with both hands and in which I'll start to build my future... Cose the future is bright!


Quindi adesso, dovrei amare per forza quello che sto facendo oppure dovrei fare qualcosa che amo? Ho passato la scorsa notte a fare lunghi discorsi sul mio futuro, sui miei sogni e i miei incubi. Così come ho passato l'ultimo anno a sentirmi in gabbia, a guardarmi intorno cercando di fare tutto e non riuscendo a fare niente. Adesso è arrivato il momento di prendere qualche decisione. Ok non sono più nè una ballerina nè lavoro più nel cinema, e quindi? Quindi mi sono detta "Hey ma ti vedi? Sei così giovane e (forse) anche così intelligente, dovresti cercare di fare quello che ami? No! DEVI FARE QUELLO CHE AMI!" Sin da quando ero bambina volevo lavorare in teatro, ora che ho la possibilità di farlo lo voglio fare! Stamattina mi sono alzata pensando a qualcosa senza sapere se fosse positiva o negativa, devo fare uno stage in teatro, adesso. Perchè dopo non si può. Ok! Bene! Fallo Irene no? Ho scelto il teatro e comunque sia non cambierà niente, saranno solo quattro splendidi mesi in cui prenderò la mia vita a due mani e nei quali inizierò a costruire davvero il mio futuro... Perchè il futuro è sempre luminoso!

Don't be careless with my heart...

Just listen to these words that I say

This is not a game I play
With just any other guy
It's no use to lose your way
Just keep me in your arms baby

Don't be careless with my heart
When my breath it starts to shake
I'm not too delicate to love
But I'm not too delicate to break.

Birthday, Leighton Meester.

Parties always bore me.

"Only the most naive of questions are truly serious. They are the questions with no answers. A question with no answer is a barrier that cannot be breached. In other words, it is questions with no answers that set the limits of human possibilities, describe the boundaries of human existence."

My real muse.

The place where I was born, sometimes I feel like there's no beauty outside here. This is the only place where I can find my inspiration. This island in the middle of the Mediterrean sea is just like heaven, and if is not... well it is for me and it'll be forever.If someone asked me which would be my greatest desire I would reply : "I'd love to come back in the place where I was born, and live there forever".

Well you can tell Jesus...

The Little Mermaid part II.

 Model:Alessia

...The Little Mermaid visits the Sea Witch, who sells her a potion that gives her legs, in exchange for her tongue The Sea Witch warns, however, that once she becomes a human, she will never be able to return to the sea. Drinking the potion will make her feel as if a sword is being passed through her, yet when she recovers she will have two beautiful legs, and will be able to dance like no human has ever danced before. However, it will constantly feel like she is walking on sharp swords, and her feet will bleed most terribly. In addition, she will only get a soul if the prince loves her and marries her, for then a part of his soul will flow into her. Otherwise, at dawn on the first day after he marries another woman, the Little Mermaid will die brokenhearted and disintegrate into sea foam. he Little Mermaid drinks the potion and meets the prince, who is attracted to her beauty and grace even though she is mute. Most of all he likes to see her dance, and she dances for him despite her excruciating pain. When the prince's father orders his son to marry the neighboring king's daughter, the prince tells the Little Mermaid he will not, because he does not love the princess. He goes on to say he can only love the young woman from the temple, who he believes rescued him, but adds that the Little Mermaid is beginning to take the temple girl's place in his heart. It turns out that the princess is the temple girl, who had been sent to the temple to be educated. The prince loves her and the wedding is announced.

The prince and princess marry, and the Little Mermaid's heart breaks. She thinks of all that she has given up and of all the pain she has suffered. She despairs, thinking of the death that awaits her, but before dawn, her sisters bring her a knife that the Sea Witch has given them in exchange for their long hair. If the Little Mermaid slays the prince with the knife and lets his blood drip on her feet, she will become a mermaid again, all her suffering will end and she will live out her full life.

The Little Mermaid cannot bring herself to kill the sleeping prince lying with his bride and, as dawn breaks, throws herself into the sea. Her body dissolves into foam, but instead of ceasing to exist, she feels the warmth of the sun; she has turned into a spirit, a daughter of the air. The other daughters of the air tell her she has become like them because she strove with all her heart to gain an eternal soul. She will earn her own soul by doing good deeds, and she will eventually rise up into the kingdom of God.

Alla fine decide di recarsi dalla Strega del Mare, che le vende una pozione che le consentirà di avere le gambe come gli umani, in cambio della voce, così le taglia la lingua; inoltre camminare sarà come essere trapassata dai coltelli. Però se il principe s'innamorerà di lei e la sposerà, la Sirenetta otterrà di avere un'anima; se sposerà un'altra, la Sirenetta morirà di crepacuore trasformandosi in schiuma. La Sirenetta beve la pozione e incontra il principe, che è attratto dalla bellezza e dalla grazia della fanciulla. La Sirenetta purtroppo non può parlare, e l'affetto del principe per lei non si trasforma in vero amore. Un giorno il principe si reca in un regno vicino in cerca di una moglie. Si scopre che la figlia del re di quel regno è la ragazza che aveva trovato il principe sulla spiaggia dopo il naufragio. Il principe si ricorda di lei come di colei che l'aveva salvato, se ne innamora e presto le nozze vengono annunciate. La Sirenetta è disperata. Quando giunge la notte di nozze, le sue sorelle le consegnano un pugnale magico che hanno comprato per lei dalla Strega del Mare in cambio dei loro capelli. Se la Sirenetta ucciderà il principe con quel pugnale, potrà sopravvivere e tornare a essere una sirena. La Sirenetta si rifiuta di farlo e si lancia in mare, dissolvendosi in schiuma. La sua bontà viene però premiata; anziché morire, la Sirenetta diventa una figlia dell'aria, un essere invisibile, con la promessa di ottenere un'anima e volare in Paradiso dopo 300 anni di buone azioni. Ma per ogni bambino buono che riuscirà a trovare le verrà risparmiato un anno di attesa; per ogni bambino cattivo invece piangerà, e aggiungerà un giorno per ogni lacrima.
