The random

I love Art.
Wait, correction: I love the Arts. There is a difference between the two that I didn't know of until recently. In Italian we say 'Art' both to mean the drawing part and all the artistic ranks in general.
So yeah, I love the Arts.
I love writing, I love drawing (I'm not good, but that doesn't matter), I love singing, I love dancing.. I love everything that's artistic.
My 'dream-job history' is proof of that. The list of jobs I've wanted to do throughout the years, from my childhood to now.
The first job I became interested in was that of the painter. I remember that I had this game on my computer starring Leonardo da Vinci. And I fell in love with the guy. Since he was a painter, I started wanting to be one, too. It was sort of awkward, since I couldn't draw and all.
(oh, I also developed a weird obsession with hang gliders that's still alive even today)
With time, I realized I wasn't meant to do that, although I really liked the idea. So I started to sing. A lot. I would sing in the car, under the shower, in my room, with my parents present. They told me I was good.
But then one day my sister let out the harsh truth that I sucked, so I abandoned that one dream, too.
And then I started writing. This one is weird. Ever since elementary school (well, since I learned how to write), I've been writing. Random, really random stuff. But I wrote. A lot. The funny thing is that when I was little I never really considered becoming a writer. I just wrote and had fun doing it.
(I even 'wrote a book' when I was eight. When I was done, I looked proudly at my job and realized it was only four pages long. Traumatic.)
Then with the years I had my phases: photographer, interior designer, or something that had to do with mode.
So you see, I've always had this artistic vibe in me. Too bad I suck at pretty much anything. The only thing I'm kinda good at, is the one thing I didn't consider when I was little: I write. Even now, I do.
People have their own ways to lose themselves, to let go of the world and be themselves. That's what makes me feel like that. Writing. I also like to draw, and I really enjoy singing. And taking pictures. All in all, I never really abandoned any of my ideas. I just figured writing is what I'm good at.
I hope I'm kind of sort of good at it.
Time will tell, I guess.


So that's it. I love everything related to the abstract. I just wish my future could have something to do with that. It would be a dream come true, literally.
I also love travelling.

A funny thing is, I've always loved the arts but never liked France (until recently).
I knew that I loved the arts, and I guess I knew that Paris was, like, one of the world capitals of art.
But I just hadn't connected the two things. Don't ask me why I'm this stupid. I just never really liked France, I've always been obsessed with the US. But then a book I read a few months ago opened my eyes and made me see it all as it is. Ever since that, I've been obsessed with Paris, too.
I really hope this summer I'll be able to visit that city. I am so eager.

Paris, New York, London, Milan, Rome, Tokyo. These cities. These dreams. I just hope I'll be able to make it someday.
