“Little soul running away as if you were a sparrow scared to death. Someone is here for you, if you look carefully you have them in front of you. He also runs away so as not to have to run away, if you look carefully I’m in front of you, if you speak softly I can hear you loudly…”
(Piccola Anima, Elisa and Ermal Meta)
Hi girl. Yes, that’s you, come here. Sit next to me and let’s look into each other’s eyes. What do you see in mine? I see an infinite space in yours.
You know how nice it would be if we didn’t need to talk to get to know each other, if only imagination and intuitions were enough. Words can often deceive, they can tell you “I’m fine” even when your eyes show the opposite. I know little about you, maybe nothing but when I look at you I have the impression of losing myself because (and it will bother you to know) you tell a lot more than you would like to say.
“Panta rei” said Heraclitus… Everything is constantly changing… So why can’t you free yourself from that enormous boulder that keeps you anchored to the seabed?
Don’t get angry girl, this is not a judgment but a simple reflection that I can’t share with anyone. It happens because I’m trying to interpret your eyes, the only ones that always tell me the truth. Today, and I hope you haven’t already forgotten, I found the courage to give you a speech that I had already had in mind for some time, I just had to find the right moment…
Every day, when I looked at you, my courage failed even if I felt extremely complicit in your tears or your fears. Today however, I don’t know why I listened to your silences and had shivers. Then the words came out on their own, free, sincere. Take them with you… In life there will always be someone who will tell you “you’re not capable”, “he/she is better, nicer, more beautiful than you”. There will always be someone who wants to convince you that you are not enough or that you are too much so they can’t love you (….understand that this thing cannot be felt!). It’s because they don’t see you, girl, they don’t want you to be as you are but as they would like you to be…
They try, maybe sometimes they succeed but you, you, never forget who you are and above all, don’t be the first to destroy your self-esteem.
I’m writing to you girl and I know that all this certainly won’t help me with tomorrow’s test but it will constitute a small brick of my future.
Now you can get up girl and, if up until now you have been silent listening to me and the only sentence you utter is <<no one has ever said these things to me>>, it means that perhaps I can continue to look into those eyes and continue to lose myself in the thousand doubts that they generate in me
AD A, THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GIRL IN THE WORLD. SO SMALL BUT WITH A HEART SO BIG THAT IT IS JUST WAITING TO BE SEWN UP.
