Daydreaming.
I would like to make it clear to my brain that today I don’t turn 16, but 26. The period of afters and sleepless nights has been over for a long time.

It’s always interesting how, whenever I prepare an exam, my mind is always curious and needs to know more about the topic i’m studying. Am I studying literature? I wanna know more about that specific author and what they wrote. Am I studying anthropology? I wanna read an essay about a specific culture or the impact that some things have on society.
Right now I’m preparing a linguistic exam and the first thing I did yesterday when I entered into the library is borrowing a book about sociolinguistic, even though for me studying linguistic is a pain in the ass; but, despite that, I still wanna know how the use of language is correlated to gender, provenance or even social class.
Studying at uni is not easy. There have been times where i just wanted to give up, and sometimes I still wanna do it, not because I’m not good enough, but because of the amount of exams I still have to prepare.
Studying at uni is not easy, but then I force myself to do it and I rediscover the beauty of what I’m studying, I fall in love with the exam I’m preparing.
What I understood today is that there are some subjects that, even though are hard to deal with, they worth the studying, they worth the love. They worth the patience.
Linguistic is my odi et amo, something that makes me lose hope most of the times but also makes me wonder. And sometimes you need to stick with these specific subjects, even though they’re not easy to understand. Sometimes you need to stick with those specific sparks these subjects give you, protect them and find in them the reason to keep going and reach your goals.
Me right now.
Today I have to make the most difficult decision an Italian can face (deciding the fantasanremo team)
Happy Sanremo week to those who celebrate it and to those who fear it
day by day
Thank god coffee exists.

If the dark side had crochet hooks, yarn and books, I would totally join it.
