INDIVIDUALITY! INDIVIDUALITà!


Its been 9 days that my mum and I have been in Italy and it has been a mixture of emotions! Mostly highs and not too many lows.
Thankfully, the family has been so good to us and their kindness and love doesn’t seem to have an end. I keep having this feeling that they need to be honoured as much as they have done with us. We are royalty in this little circle, but then again so is everyone in this country.

Ladies walk around, living their life with their head held high and not a care about who thinks what of them. There is a distinct pride in their uniqueness. If that makes sense. They are themselves and they are proud of the stand they are making to be themselves. It refreshing to see. It refreshing to see others appreciate that. Its a world of a difference from a country where people are too afraid to be different at all. A box in which I have found a comfortable spot for many years. INDIVIDUALITY.
Here it is celebrated. Here it is the norm.
