I Long for…

Fashion· Outfit of the Day

Lately I’ve been longing to find a sense of peace that seems to be hiding beneath an uncomfortable feeling of stillness.

Life keeps moving on, things happen everyday and it’s not as if we’re stuck in our own little bubble, but for some reason it feels as if we somehow are.

I find myself going for long walks and thinking, but thinking about what? I wouldn’t even be able to tell you what my thoughts are filled of. I imagine them to be similar to balloons being inflated and then slipping away into the sky.

Thoughts so full of air, so light and brief they slip away in the blink of an eye, and yet, they come back for a moment everyday to haunt my mind.

These days, or better, these last few Summer months have been subject to the theme of opposition. I want to/ I don’t want to. Let’s do it/Let’s reschedule. I’m happy/I’m not happy.

Fleeting thoughts become contrasting thoughts in the mind and aren’t able to find peace.

Why can’t I find peace?

I long for  the days that I used to take for granted. Days I thought would be endless. Days that would keep on coming as if I had an unlimited stock stashed in my drawer.

I long for the days that aren’t here anymore and I long for the positivity that used to fill my friends’ minds, now only to find out they have been replaced with cynicism and fear of the future that’s ahead of us.

So I keep going for long walks hoping that on the way, while my thoughts get lost, I might find some optimism or maybe peace or serenity.

Welcome

Ciao!

My name is Erika, I’m 29 years old, half Canadian and half Italian, I am proud of being both and I never introduce myself as only one or the other. I’m based in Toronto, Canada, but you’ll see me travelling all over the world. On this blog I’m going to share my own, personal style, my favourite beauty products and everything and anything I like or just feel like writing about. I hope you’ll enjoy your stay on my blog!

I spent the last 18 days with my family and friend I spent the last 18 days with my family and friends. I visited my favourite cities, laughed with some of my favourite people and enjoyed my beloved spring, sunny days. 
I left 18 days ago, doubtful and uncertain of the future and I leave soon full of hope. Now it’s time to go. But I go knowing that I will be back soon.
I also need to go check on my cat.

Spring in Italy has always brought me serenity and Spring in Italy has always brought me serenity and hope. When I was younger I would open the door and step outside in the mornings to be greeted by fresh, crisp air and the smell of Spring. I’ve always called it that. The smell of spring is that specific scent you breath in and you immediately know that nature is slowly waking up. It’s  when you know that cherry trees and peach trees are beginning to bloom and that the days are going to get longer and warmer. 
Nature awakens and it reminds me of how much beauty there still is in this world.
“You shouldn't try to stop everything from happe “You shouldn't try to stop everything from happening. Sometimes you're supposed to feel awkward. Sometimes you're supposed to be vulnerable in front of people. Sometimes it's necessary because it's all part of you getting to the next part of yourself, the next day.”

The beloved gelato pic has landed! Enjoy! Here’ The beloved gelato pic has landed! Enjoy! 
Here’s an unwanted tip that I’m going to share with you anyways: when in Rome ask for panna on top of your gelato. They usually ask you if you want panna, but in case they don’t, just ask! Whipped cream on top of gelato is a must! 
Tip 2: try the stracciatella flavour. I will never not get stracciatella (a milk-based ice cream filled with chocolate shavings) 😍
I came to Rome, I enjoyed the views, I got my inst I came to Rome, I enjoyed the views, I got my insta pic, I waited forever for a pizza that was never delivered and I witnessed a fight between two guys at the train station. I got the full Roman experience. I can now leave the country happy and satisfied. 👌
