Italy Taught Me

Before and after my Christmas 2018 trip to Italy, I spent a lot of time reflecting. Reflecting on who I was and who I could be. I always seemed to fall short on an answer.  I always seemed to fall short on what I wanted in life even though deep down I knew.

When I went to Italy, I realized I was falling short due to missing pieces of my life. I was yearning for a love I couldn’t have.  I was not sure what type of love I needed but Italy helped me piece myself back together.

Fortunately for me, I went to a country that exuded love and joy in more ways than one. I saw Venice, Rome, Milan, and Tirano and whether I needed love from travel or something else, I felt fulfilled.

From ravioli and gyros to canals and gelato...this trip was unreal to me.

And even through the smiles, I was able to capture the missing piece and

I am fortunate to be working towards bringing that hole back.

I’ll never stop dwelling on Italy.  But today I chose myself and I’m happy about that.

Italy, you’ll always have my heart.

I am looking forward and I am back in the light.

Slowly but surely, this will feel good.

Peace and love.
