So it's true. Since half an hour I'm officially one year older. Or maybe not. I was actually born at 4.30 pm, as my mum always reminds me, so maybe I'm still the same age for a few more hours...Who am I actually kidding? As if a few hours would make the difference...
Another year has gone. I don’t know what I have achieved in the past year. Probably nothing. Just another year getting along. Or maybe not? Maybe I did achieve something. Being alive!
I have to learn how to enjoy, or rather savor, my days one by one, as I am much luckier than so many people around the world. Unfortunately I don’t always realize how lucky I am. Why do we always look up at people who are wealthier, slimmer, better looking, more famous and never at the less fortunate than us?
This year’s resolution will be to try to be happier and to make the people around me happier too. Carpe Diem.

Quant'è bella giovinezza che si fugge tuttavia! Chi vuol essere lieto, sia:
di doman non c'è certezza.
Lorenzo de' Medici (1449-1492)
[How beautiful our Youth is That’s always flying by us!
Who wants to be happy, let him be so:Nothing’s sure about tomorrow.
