Enough already. Time to move on, time to be happy for what I got instead of mourning what I can’t have. I decided to bring the music back into my life.
In October, this rather terrible month that only is surpassed in gloominess by November, it is so easy for me to dwell on sadness. Disperato would be the natural choice for me, and then I would pity myself and be every bit as desperate as he sounds.
But you know, the sun shone through today, and few things are so colorful and therapeutic and gorgeous as sun on autumn leaves, so I decided to do things in a different way. I chose happiness.
I chose Innamorando, and although I was surrounded by people I couldn’t help but smile and sway. After that there was no turning back. I dare you to listen to Besame and Baila without moving!
The music broke the spell, and now Napule makes me smile, not cry, and I think I am getting ready for the photos from Amalfi.
Good for you annika! It’s interesting how music really has the power to move emotions.
Just enjoy where you are now and who you are with. Don’t spend your days planning the future because it may never come. What you have is today! And if its meant to be for you to live in Positano one day, it will happen!
Yes – music can evoke so much emotion and passion in our lives – this:http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=GnaJnTkpkFc always reminds me of Italy and all I love about it……………..
Ok, my contribution, and if you don’t like it, do as if I haven’t said anything, but I thought you might like to have a less edulcorated idea of Italy, so this could be a start:
JAP – you are right – there is no utopia – each country has it’s problems – politics often not being the least of them, but I’m guessing Annika’s love for Italy is something she feels deep down in her heart despite all the problems the country may have . Idealistic? Maybe, but we all have to have our dreams……………
There was a time when I longed for Italy when I was away. So much so that I moved here because I didn’t want to live life wanting to be somewhere else.
Annika,
dove sei? Ritorna a presto, mi manchi!
