Who are your favorite people to be around?

True people can be recognized by their gaze…eyes are the soul mirror.

Familiar,friends or simply acquaintances, I always prefer to have around me true people.

True person are difficult to meet, why? I think, for my life experience, that the most of people is not sincerely with the itself , let alone with others… And then nowadays everyone wants to appear, to be different from what it is.🤔it seems, my thought comes from stock phrases but it is so.

Then, experiences with people, are different; it depends from the character and the familiar and social imprinting. It’s not important if that person is from a so far place, because it’s possible his moods and his thoughts are closer me than others of the next door.

Family and parents are the best,  they are really true.With them I was always well, staying what I am, I could express myself without shame. Now, in family we are few left…it’s great when we meet us.

Who stays around me, above, under, on the left and on the right, very very true person is Fiore, my husband, he is the truest person I have even met, in fact, I didn’t miss him!😄

Are you patriotic? What does being patriotic mean to you?

Patriotism: feeling of love, obedience and devotion to the country.( Treccani vocabolary)

Nowadays it’s difficult to speak of patriotism.

In the XIX century, the feeling of equality and social justice were more than good ideas, patriotic movements were born to support workers classes.

Then, in Italy was created a healthcare, which was envied throughout the world; public healthcare for all.

The pension system was a useful idea to give a peaceful and dignified live.

After the 1950s it begins to guarantee education for all, fighting illiteracy.

The Italian state, effectively gave opportunities to have welfare for families; I am daughter of that well-being🙂, but…

Since the end of ’90th we felt difficulty to work and difficulty to have a good idea of the future. It remains only the memory of a state that supports citizens, always more in difficulty  in everyday life.

“Frecce tricolori” are still symbol of national pride, all over the world; the sky of the picture, in which they move is full of clouds… not clear like the italian state, and “it’s often hail, that reaches us”.🌨️

So, that meaning on the dictionary of patriotism as feeling of love, first of all for the citizens, I say; obedience🤔  to the citizen needs, and devotion it depends, if you go to look for the past wars, the devotion would be better didn’t exist, I prefer to keep my critical spirit high.

Patriotic why? Because I like the beautiful territory of Italia, the nature, monuments, the enormity of culture that is known in the world of which everyone falls in love and try to copy. And for the rest…

…there will be an answer, let it be…whisper words of wisdom, let it be. ( Beatles)

What were your parents doing at your age?

At my age, my parents had a full life.

When my dad was 57, I was a children. He worked again, but for few years, and I remember to be gone one time to see his working place, he was a telecommunication technician Sip ( current telecom).

My mom at my age was working too; she worked as my father for “Sip” and she was very busy between job and family.

We lived in the center of Milan, a place they liked much, and both loved going to the mountains and making holidays with their dearest friends aunt Gianna and uncle Franco.

What my parents did at my age was very different from mine… My work life is not linear, I have a different type of family because are different times and effectivly I have another mind, but for how we have had a different way to live both of our lives are ” full of life”.💞

Are there any activities or hobbies you’ve outgrown or lost interest in over time?

In my life, I made more than one hobby and I have had different interests. Friends, jobs, studies had sometimes a role in their develope and I have to say that, generally, they return.

Music, the passion for mountain, writing, painting, sky… Are just some of my activities, that when the time, age or situation, often also money, permits, I make again.

I have of my life a holistic vision; I think, I’m complete when I express myself in the way I want, if I feel the need, so using old activities too.

The whole of me, that I built from my birth, makes my personality and , when I cannot make something I’d like, I’m not happy…it’s like a piece of me that goes away.

Windsurf is an activity that I made many years ago and instead is gone.I liked much, because when I went to the seaside, I wanted make something of dynamic and this sport was good for me.

Than, growing, habits changed, and the circumstances pushed me away from this sport and the time, for this, made a change, losing my interest, differently from other things.
