Sloppy writing and a head full of crazy!

Standard

Dear wordpress,

Recently I have become lazy with my blogging and my posts have become few and far between.

Sometimes you fall into a pit of feeling that you have nothing of worth to say, you become distracted by everyday life and your words stop hitting paper or a keypad and are voiced to those around you instead.

That combined with a broken computer make for a concoction of neglecting your own writing and neglecting reading the words of others that you admire. So here I am typing away on my phone trying to think of what to say.

My life in Italy is about to come to an end, and In 2 weeks time I will embark on this crazy new adventure called trying to find my feet and settling down for a while in the UK. This both terrifies and excites me.

Being 20 something in the 21st century is something to be both grateful more and also to be somewhat dismayed about. It’s strange. We have all of these opportunities at our feet. We can travel, we can study, we can do pretty much anything that we decide to put our minds to.. Except for being royalty.. You pretty much have to be born into that one.

At 22 society both wants me to travel and live the dream, but it also expects me to be in a job and well on the way to a great career that will see me through the rest of my life. Is it just me that finds being in their 20’s really difficult, to the extent of wanting to curl up and cry on the sofa for no reason whatsoever at least once a week? Or is that the norm amongst us young adults?

So anyway WordPress, I can’t promise to be outstanding at keeping you up to date for a couple of weeks… But I can promise to have some great stories to tell you soon.

Love Lizzie.

Dear Florence…

You should probably know that I fell in love with you. You are unlike other cities I have visited before, where I have found myself despising the hustle and bustle of some cities… I couldn’t help but find it one of your many endearing qualities.

You made me want to tell you all of my secrets,

all of my desires,

all of my thoughts and hopes.

Florence… the truth is. I love your art, I love your people, I love the live music around every corner. I love you!ImageImage
