Weekend Getaway: London



Living in Portsmouth is great, but I miss London so much I can't help to go there whenever I can – and that's exactly what I did last weekend.

Left here on Friday, I got to London and finally hugged my babe (AKA Rachel) after literally months – eight, to be precise. Yes.. EIGHT!
It was a lovely and chilled out weekend, nothing special about it. But anything you do is special when you're in London – or at least that's what I keep telling myself, ha!

Unfortunately, being Uni students meant we couldn't exactly go anywhere or do anything that involved loads of money, but we managed to have a great time anyways. Although, we had the horrible idea of going into central London on a sunny Sunday afternoon – horrible, I tell ya!

Nonetheless it was great catching up with her. It does suck having friends living an hour and a half away when last year I could literally meet them whenever I wanted to. But it's also okay, friendships don't change just because you live a train journey away – and that means I actually have an excuse to go to London every other weekend ;)

Lazy Sunday: the people I love

When I left Italy I was in a really bad place, thought I had no one who cared about me and moving to London seemed the only option.
Looking back now, I can assure you it really was one of the best decision I've ever made. London has opened so many doors for me, and I am sure it'll give me so many more opportunities. But most important, distance made me realise – once again, how lucky I am and how many important people I have in my life.

I guess it's true: you never appreciate something until you lose it – or, in my case, until you move city.
Living far away from the people I love it's not easy, and it never will be, but I am dealing with it and it's getting better because, no matter how far I am, they will always be there for me. And I couldn't be happier about it.

My advice for today? 


Go on and live the adventure, but never forget the ones who love you.






Dear Ross





Dear Ross,

this is going to be a short but personal post.

I imagine people have no clue of who you are, which is crazy considering you are such an important person to me. 
Why am I writing it here? Why not sending you a text or a letter? 
Because the world – or at least the people who read this blog, deserves to know how special you are.

Because everyone should have someone like you in their lives, someone they can trust unconditionally. A best-friend like you.

And I've told you so many times I don't believe in forever, but with you it's not forever, with you is always. And it's even better.

Told you it was going to be short, but I wanted to let them know how much you mean to me.
Thank you for being you.




Yours truly.

Long distance relationships



Not everything that shines is gold, and traveling has its flaws as well.
One of the biggest – and probably hardest, ones is long distance relationships.

Due to my previous experience in America, I can tell you that is not easy keeping in touch with the people you love, even though you try your best. 
New city, new people, new routine, sometimes it just gets too overwhelming and you can't keep up. It's not your fault, of course, it is important to remember that this whole experience marks a new chapter in your life, therefore you will be willing to discover more and experience new things.

Does that mean that the people back home are not important anymore?


Of course not. 
Your relationships back home are the most important thing for you right now. All the support you have is because of them, they believe in you and in your dreams, and – hopefully!, they'll always be there for you.

But let me tell you one thing, the people that are not willing to keep up with you during your new adventure are not worth your time. 
Be careful then, during this whole experience you'll lose people, but you will never regret it – trust me!
