59th

Mio padre è alto.
Or at least I remember it that way. Although it's clear that to a six year old kid, every adult appears much taller than herself.

Lui è intelligente.
Because he was a teacher and he has so many books and his handwriting always look intriguing and cool (even though I couldn't read them anyway).

Mi piacerebbe rivederlo.
I don't really know how the after life works, but I'd like to see him again if I can. At least so I can thank him properly and say that I love him in person. And maybe to have some small talks as adults.

Amo, padre. Grazie.

Emotions and Detachment

“Learn how to detach.”
“Don’t cling to things, because everything is impermanent.”
“Detachment doesn’t mean you don’t let the experience penetrate you. On the contrary, you let it penetrate you fully. That’s how you are able to leave it.”
- Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom

I really love that word.
Detachment.
It was portrayed beautifully too in the book. It’s like that word is telling us not to fall into deep to everything because nothing is ever constant. I feel like this word is telling us to let go.
To move on. To start anew.
And that’s exactly what I’m trying to do right now.

“Change is hard, I should know. I should know. I should know.”
- Change Is Hard by She & Him
