I am 21 years old, but sometimes I swear I'm 17 still.
I used to be a competitive ballerina and contemporary dancer.
I used to be a competitive ballerina and contemporary dancer.
When I was 16, I was diagnosed with a spontaneous auto-immune disease which caused a permanent heart condition, and I was forced to quite dance. I haven't been able to go back since.
It is my dream to see the entire world. As much of it as I possibly can squeeze into one lifetime.
When I'm with my true friends, I'm not the beauty queen people assume I am, I'm an absolute goofy mess and I don't care about a damn thing; I love to make people laugh.
I've always had a considerable number of close guy friends.
I'm a bit of a hippie, I think I would have fit in well during the 70's, the political protests, pot and peace... I think I would have loved it! (except bell bottom high-waisted pants, seriously)

I want to have lived multiple lives, I want adventure, safety, comfort, recklessness, passion, heart break, love, and anguish. I never think happiness is worth much unless it is tortured.
My favourite colour is a really dark purple.
I am a complete and total people pleaser.
I love country music.

Questions from the lovely Lila
1. What is your dream job?
I've never felt that I really had much say in my future, I've always felt it was decided for me long ago, for no real reason at all. My dream job would be to take over my family business from my grandfather importing wine internationally to high end restaurants. Lots of travel, making connections and a bit of schoomzing ;)
2. If you could switch with any person for a day who would it be and why?
Marilyn Monroe. Such a sex symbol, a complete bombshell who didn't give a fuck what anyone thought. She was completely confident with her body, at a size 14. A size I myself have been once before I wanted to kill myself. I'd love to know what it feels like to love yourself and be wanted and desired no matter what.

3. Do you have siblings and have you ever been jealous of them for any reason?
Yes, one younger sister. I used to think my parents loved her more than me. Now I guess I'm jealous of the relationship she has with my father. I know if I took steps I could have one with him, but I will never be comfortable in his presence, and for that I envy her ignorance.

4. If you could choose anywhere.. where would you live?
Somewhere beautiful, near the Ocean, close enough to hear the waves. Far enough away to feel safe, close enough to a busy city to not feel trapped. In a hand-made house with a man who loves me unconditionally.

5. What is your fav pass time hobby?
Getting high, making a playlist and painting by candlelight in the middle of the day while it's dark and rainy outside.

6. Have you ever been in love.. how many times?
I've thought I've been in love with many different people and at many different times. It's caused me to truly doubt my self judgement so I don't know how to answer this. I am in love with my boyfriend J, and I think he could be the one.

7. If you had to get a tattoo this second.. what would it be and why?
I have two tattoos already. My favourite, and first, is a bird flying on my hip. It means a lot to me. As a child I used to blow out my birthday candles and wish I was a bird, so I could fly anywhere I wanted, whenever I wanted to. The ultimate freedom. I don't want to get any more tattoos.

8. Have you ever had a surgery? (cosmetic or emergency)
I've had my tonsils and adenoids removed when I was a teenager. During a screening of my blood work pre-surgery, was when my auto-immune disease was discovered. I was told that if I went under the anesthesia and my thyroid was to have a storm, which happens 4-5 times daily, my heart could have stopped.

9. Whats your greatest childhood fear( any answers about weight dont count)
That I would make my dad angry.

10. Do you have a favorite relitive? if yes why are they your fav?
My Nonno. He is absolutely amazing. He was trained as a shoe maker in Italy, and only went to school until grade 3. He went on to build a family empire of sorts, one international sports business which he passed down to my father and uncle. He now imports wine under his own label, and distributes all over the country. He is the most generous, kind-hearted, strong willed, stubborn, and loving man I have ever known.

For the nominee's...
(I know you're on hiatus but I've got my fingers crossed that you'll come back!!)
Hi there:) I'm new here and I just wanted to say hi! I've read all of your posts and I finally decided to make my own blog. It seems like we have so much in common! Father issues, pot, traveling! I always wanted to live more than one life because there is so many options and we can only choose one path. I would also love to live in the 70's without all the internet and cell phones. It just seems like we could enjoy so many more special moments with our friends and family. I have a younger sister that I always try to protect :)
ReplyDeleteAnyways, I really like reading your posts because you always say something smart! How was that party that you were supposed to go to on Saturday? I hope everything went well!
Hey! Thanks for your comment :) It's great to get feed back, especially from a new follower! I'm flattered that you've read my whole story :)

The party went really well. One awkward moment at the table when I was asked about my age, only minutes after the couple next to us had said that they have a '20 year old daughter'... only a year older than I am... but other than that slight embarrassment I think I did well! J told me so, and that a few of his co workers last week came into his office (from across the building, who work in a completely different department) to tell him that I'm a keeper, and ask him where he's been hiding me! So that was really nice to hear. I acted completely normal and ate a little less than half of the pasta, I knew I had to and I really didn't want to cause a scene or concern for J.
The things we do for love!
hope you have an awesome day :)
love always,
xoxo
