Moods 2 days before departure

Yesterday was a really intense day, I received many messages of closeness and affection, certainly thanks to the article published in the Gazzettino of Treviso.

56 people asked me for friendship on Facebook, many will come Saturday morning at 11.00 to Ariele di Conegliano to greet us in person. I will meet a boy from Parma in Trieste in the afternoon, where he will be there with his Vespa. I also found someone who offers me help and useful contacts between Pakistan and India where he was years ago, always on a Vespa, thank you.

Among the many messages, one struck me, made me reflect 2 days before departure that are helping me in this moment as beautiful and intense as it is difficult.

“Hi Gianluca I wanted. Wish good luck for your new adventure, you are stubborn you are to be admired x the courage and above all x your choice of life, of emotion and if we want a bit of recklessness.

At our age we need to adrenaline to feel alive and above all to put ourselves in this with ourselves with our loneliness, which basically is not since you will have the opportunity to meet new people, different countries and ways of life.

I will follow you as before and I hope you are strong combative. A big hug and go to your freedom! “

Thinkings…

Hi, thank you very much for your nice message. Although we have never dated, I have always found many affinities with you …, we are positive and we smile often, which is now very rare. I have always tried to manage my life proactively, trying, as far as possible, not to be overwhelmed by events, even if unfortunately many times I have not been able to do it as I wanted. For years now I have been clear that the most important thing we all have is time, it passes, you cannot buy it and every day you have less and less, like that child who gorges himself on candies when he has a lot of them, but then, yes he realizes that he has only three left, then, only those, if he enjoys them as he should have done with all of them.

This is why already in 2018 I started making choices to give more value to my time, selling my two small companies, starting to work less etc. etc. In 2021 I tried to see what would change in my life, by taking a 4-month break from work, and I discovered a world …, I also learned to see money as a limited resource, not to be bought at all costs by selling off your time, in short, to be managed wisely. At the end of July, returning from a wonderful trip to the North Cape, I decided it was time to do what I had never done before and so I decided. Then 9 difficult months of choices, decisions, of many against or very hesitant, who openly and who without telling me. So many things, people, relationships, my dog, a house that I had just started to renovate, the job to give up, saying no, something never done before. Now I have arrived, I have managed to build the conditions to venture and immerse myself in my dream. These are the most difficult days, I greet all the many people I love, I have seen them in these days and I do not know when I will see them again …, today and tomorrow it will be very difficult, my dad, my sons and my dog. I will overcome this too because in front of me I have a new world waiting for me, a world that I have chosen and that I will live as long as I feel like it … a week, three months or two years …, I’m free to decide.

The first defeat is not to try …, and I don’t want to have regrets. Thank you for your message, sincere, full of energy and support. I hug you.
