Is life short or long? I risk depending. When I was twenty, I thought someone thirty-six was thirty-six years old. Fifty years old, then, I thought they were gravitating towards another world. The feeling was so powerful that all my parents did – in their 40s – they said that it entered through one ear and fled through the other, because I was sure that with me everything would be different.
Of course, that wasn’t the case. It is a fact that each has its own history and new paths, but the essentials, everything that happens inside the heart, from generation to generation is repeated, in a kind of unwavering mantra, like mom and dad, I had youthful illusions, adult. arrogance, surprises in the maturity phase.
- Like almost everyone who was born and aged before me.
- I fell in love.
- Fell in love.
- Fell in love again.
- Dressed in the pool.
- Walked naked around the house.
- Tried cocktails.
- Drank coke and coffee.
- Done new things.
- I have said words that give me remorse and I have done actions that I am not proud of.
But I also appreciate my well-made words, my sweet words, my incorrigible optimism. I still trust in humanity, I keep talking to some neighbors. Do I have my job, too, and the others, as a high value. However, I have not forgotten that we are in the world to work.
My greatest vanity is that I had, and I hope I still have, a common biography, I didn’t rob any bank, I didn’t kill anyone, I didn’t beat the vicar, the winning ticket, the fake ticket. I didn’t take the boss’ bag or the buddy’s rug. At least consciously, I don’t humiliate people or mistreat animals.
Nobody asks me for an autograph or wants to take a selfie next to me. In the morning they neglect me in the bakery and no one looks like what I notice. I’m a free being. A being that evolves over the years. What I really love is collecting impressions, ideas, offal and then writing them for you. My heritage is jewels that don’t last long, but that make me happy.
If luck keeps smiling and gives me more years of life, I think I’ll finally have to use a cane, this time isn’t enough for everyone. I cross my fingers to take him away.
