Recently I was told how mysterious I can be so here’s my life in 7 facts.
1. I learned Italian and English at the same time. It was the beginning of my life between the worlds and love for language.
When I was three I started to lose Italian after my mother passed away so as a child I studied it outside of school until college so I could talk to my grandma. When not in Italy, I enjoy translating the Sopranos and confusing my boyfriend because he can’t understand me.
At 22, I finally felt like I could communicate easily with my relatives. I had to be very very patient trying to understand them and express myself during this long uncomfortable gap from 3 to 22. Hence why my purpose and passion in life spirals around the journey to communicate who I am and what I have to say, and to inspire deep meaning and transformation.
2. My degree from Bryn Mawr College was a B.A. in Political Science with a minor in Italian. My teenage dream was to become a diplomat, but then I got older and realized to that I’d have to let the government tell what to do, where to live and what language to learn. I’m aiming to be a cultural diplomat as a writer and creative now.
3. I don’t like people telling me what to do. I put up with it for a while and was very good at every job I took on, but in such a way that I became too good, and got buried under even more work as a reward. Needless to say, I got bitter pretty fast.
I hid it, but eventually I really couldn’t stand another crap job in which I drained myself trying, my boss relied on me as the backbone of the business, and I wanted to bang my head against my desk with stress and disappointment that I could never afford my own apartment. Since I took on self employment at least I’m not bitter, scared often I will admit, but not bitter. And I feel fulfilled because I can use all of my bazillion talents from all my experience, combined with my creative and spiritual passions.
4. Everyone in my family is pretty much self employed. I took it for granted that we can all go to the doctors or post office in the middle of the day and choose to work at night. Or that going to Europe is just a matter of putting it on the calendar and buying tickets. Families like mine should come with a handbook called “So You Want to Work a 9-5 in the Government? HAH.”
5. Most days I don’t bother with makeup so I look boyish with short hair. Other days I wear one of my many red dresses, eyeliner, or one of my many cool necklaces. I enjoy freedom and choice to either remain invisibly androgynous or to grab attention with my confidence. I’m a gentle calm person on the quiet side most of the time, but then I get excited, playful and sassy on my high energy days.
6. I have this problem where I make lots of awesome stuff and then hide them because they are not perfect. I’m about to reveal a barrage of creations like this sireny song on Soundcloud. Watch out.
7. I’ve been blogging for 13 years, but this is the first blog that has actually gained an audience. I can’t tell you what it means that people leave comments, or let me know they look forward to hearing more of what I have to say. Because of this and other developments which allow me to accept myself as I am, and thus create and share in more expansive ways, I am the happiest I have ever been in my life.
