Daydreaming...

I just want someone nice, someone I can trust and rely on.
Someone who won't lie to me.
Someone who'll be honest with me and won't assume I'm stupid.
Someone for whom talking to me is the best part of the day.
Someone talking to whom is the best part of my day.
Someone who can understand that being in a loving, respectful, sincere relationship can actually set you free, giving you immense freedom rather than tying you down and limiting your options.
Someone who can see through my quirks and perks and like me as I am, even if I am weird.
Someone who understands me even when I'm tired and my English isn't perfect.
Someone who can see through my eyes and understand what I am unable to put into words. Someone who wants to be loved as he's never been loved before.
Someone who is willing to receive support as much as he's willing to give support.
Someone whose hand I'll proudly hold, anytime, on any given day.
Someone by whose side I'll proudly stand, anytime, on any given day.
Someone in whose arms I want to fall asleep night after night, and next to whom I want to wake up day after day.
Someone to whom I can give all of this immense love, affection, support, respect, appreciation, understanding that I feel inside of me.
Is there someone out there who wants it?
And who can handle it?

Want to feel like Quasimodo?

Up there on the roofs of Paris, looking down on the sleeping city, hidden behid the Gargoyles of Notre Dame, wishing your life were different?

There you go.

Truth or dare

How is it possible to detect if someone is lying to you? And most importantly, why do people even need to lie to one another? I am a big supporter of the benefit of the doubt: I tend to give people face value, so when they say something, I assume that they are being honest. I know, I can be extremely naive at times, but hey, I'd rather assume that people are being honest than always having to second guess what I am told. But probably that is not the best way to go. And then, when you start suspecting that people are in fact lying to you, how do you go about finding the truth? One way is certainly the most abrupt one: ask. But it sounds quite stupid when you ask someone "Say, are you lying to me?". If they say "No, of course not", what makes you believe that THAT is not another lie? And of course, if someone IS lying to you, they ain't going to tell you to your face...
So you resort to tricks. You trick people into telling the truth, or you find a way to go around the obstacle. And there's tons of ways to do that...
It's just insane, and completely counterproductive, especially when people tell you that "communication is the basis of everything". Does that mean that "everything" is based on crappy lies?

Um... maybe not...

Happy Valentine's Day!

Love sucks - part II

Love sucks - part I

Welcome to Torino!

Oceano

Piove sull'oceano
Piove sull'oceano
Piove sulla mia identita'
Lampi sull'oceano
Lampi sull'oceano
Squarci di luminosita'
Forse qua in America
I venti del Pacifico
Scoprono le sue immensita'
Le mie mani stringono
Sogni lontanissimi
E il mio pensiero corre da te
Temo, tremo, sento
Profondi e oscuri abissi
E' per l'amore che ti do
E' per l'amore che non sai
Che mi fai naufragare
E' per l'amore che non ho
E' per l'amore che vorrei
E' per questo dolore
E' questo amore
Che ho per te
Che mi fa superare
Queste vere tempeste
Onde sull'oceano
Onde sull'oceano
Che dolcemente si plachera'
Le mie mani stringono
Sogni lontanissimi
E il tuo respiro soffia su me
Temo, tremo, sento
Vento in fondo al cuore
E' per l'amore che ho per te
Che mi fa superare
Mille tempeste
E' per l'amore che ti do
E' per l'amore che vorrei
Da questo mare
E' per la vita che non c'e'
Che mi fai naufragare
In fondo al cuore
Tutto questo ti avra'
E a te sembrera' tutto normale

(Josh Groban, "Oceano")
