My name is K, and i'm an Italian girl whose main interests are: psychology, poetry, spirituality and manifesting.

Obviously, english isn't my first language so any spellings mistakes you'll see, feel free to correct them kindly, because i do not accept rudeness.

In fact I apologize in advance if there are any mistakes in this post and in anything I'll post in future.

"Ca pazzo è chi contrasta co le stelle"

chi la riconosce? questa piccola perla di Giambattista Basile esce dalla fiaba "La Gatta Cenerentola" nella raccolta lo cunto de li cunti.

Cosa ne pensate di questa frase? io quando lessi la gatta cenerentola la prima volta rimasi colpita proprio perché a meno che non credi nella manifestazione, è quasi assurdo andare contro al destino(le stelle)!

The Saturday of the Village(or, Il sabato nel villagio) is a poem by Giacomo Leopardi(an Italian author). It describes a village on Saturday evening, when everyone is preparing for Sunday. The poem suggests that people are happiest while they're looking forward to something, because anticipation is often sweeter than the event itself. It reminds us that hope can sometimes bring more happiness than reality.

As someone who had to study that poem, I never expected it to become so relatable.

What do I mean by that?

Well, I work at a restaurant where there's a coworker I'll call CeeCee (he probably doesn't even know Tumblr exists). Since I'm probably not staying there for much longer, because i only work one day a week, and it's NOT enough in this economy, we're building something, very, very slowly, enjoying the moments without worrying about what will happen in our workplace because I won't stay longer here

And every Saturday, before my shift, I get ready and catch myself smiling.

The truth is... I'm happier while waiting for him to show up than when he actually does, just like the villagers are happier while waiting the saturday.
