Now that it exists, I have so many questions … I know what I would like to write, but I do not know how. I have always been accustomed to writing, but my thoughts remained just mine, a virtual diary, and anyone without my permission would never have to read it …
A blog is different: I’d like to go in deep, as if it was a little bit still ‘”my” diary, but if I decided to publish it also means that I want to share my experiences with others.
Yeah, because this time is different: it’s not of pangs of love I want to talk, nor drama of a teenage girl (perhaps even of those, come on, you never know, but it will not be the center of the blog) … this time I really have something to say, something important, I want to leave a trace in the virtual world of, and perhaps that may also be useful to those who want to have an experience like mine.
What do I mean? Simple: I’m leaving. Soon I will have to prepare my suitcase again. It will be a huge suitcase, in which I will pack four months of my life, and leave space for the life that will be added to my luggage, when the time comes to return.
It‘s not easy, believe me. It’s not easy just to think about it … I do not want to imagine how difficult it really can be.
This is what I want to speak about: the difficulties, anxieties, panic attacks pre-start … and then of first impressions, the culture shock, my strongest emotions when I am there, in the United States of America, for 4 months, alone, in an American college … and all of this incredible experience I am going to live, that will change me profoundly, that will change every fiber of my being in ways that I can not begin to imagine …
Maybe no one will read it …
maybe someone will land on this blog and find it useless, superfluous, banal, and he will go …
maybe someone else will find it interesting, or because it is nice, or because he had an experience like mine, or maybe because it’s crazy …
I can only promise that it will be an honest blog . :)
