the outskirts of rome, the regions of campagnia, all spread out before me, covered by grey, gloomy skies, allowing only pinpricks of sunlight though, which crown upon the grounds.
its a pretty sight, even on a dark day; all grey and blue and green.

this comes so naturally to me. i have to take a second to emember what it is im doing, and then i cant help but smile and feel very pleased with myself.
diagonally opposite me are an old gay couple, and until they fell asleep i wouldnt have wondered even. but they fall asleep on shoulder on head, and their arms grasp each other in a comfortable and firm embrace. and i could be here or any place in the world, and small things like this remind me that through all the differences, there are so many parallels between all cultures.

i have already met so many people. those little moments that are worthless but you know theyve been etcheded in your head. like the other night in the common room when all of us stopped talking at the same time because somewhere in the distance in the faintest of volumes the harry potter soundtrack came on, and once it was done we all resumed conversation like nothing had happened and the giggled about it later. or last night when the chinese canadian girl crashed herself down on the chair next to me and screamed about her roommates snoring. and then the walk to the station this morning with the sweetest german girl with the longest legs, who said very matter of fact-ly that 'mostikoes' always bite her because 'my blood is sweeter i think.'
the hills spread out before me in patchwork green. they make me calm. all this reminds me that i am finally climbing out of the hole i fell into 5 years ago.
that feeling of time running out, i dont feel it anymore. the crazyness that is rome, the cobbled roads and the perfect blue skies, it all makes me so much more adamant on living. i am living in true flesh, blood and so much soul.
everything sit so well in my eyes.
