Two books that made me cry at the end and helped me shape my idea of war and what really is for the common men are “Il sergente nella neve” (the sargent in the snow) by Mario Rigoni Stern, which is about the retreat of the Armir (italian army in Russia) after the second Don offensive by the Red Army from the point of view of Stern, as they started the endless march back to Italy on foot, with the Red Army biting their asses. Almost 80.000 between dead and missing. Amazing piece of literature and yet another reason to despise fascism; and All quiet on the western front, which doesnt need many explanations.

Absolute chills everytime i think about those books and the images of tragedy and hopelessness they shaped so vividly in my mind.

I decided it was a good idea to do the mandatory university stage while also working this summer, while also trying to pass my last four exams. I greatly overstimaded my capacities and the trust i should have gave to my employee when they said i would be working just some days a week.

The idea that maybe in the future i will be in a better place than now, that i’ll be financially stable and i’ll work a job that i like and where i can keep a good balance between it and my personal life. (Im beyond delusional)

A lot of contries other than Iran are filled with religious extremists, including the USA themselves, but you dont see trump striking any of those countries. Again, USA is supplying arms to Israel, that they use to strike civilians to claim a land that is theirs according to a religious book. That alone in your view should be enough to strike both USA and Israel. Religion extremism, terrorism and mysoginism and such are a plague in a lot of countriest, but the USA hit the one that is the biggest threat to thei closest ally. This is just politics, classic imperialist american politics. Nothing more nothing less. And i repeat, im not a fan of Iran either. its just that we cant revert to an international scenery dominated by brute force imo.

Yeah, didn’t put the /s but sometimes i forget how stupid can online people be and that somebody could really think this way.

We can decide to follow a world where diplomacy and international law are the base of cooperation and problem solving, or we just decide to use brute force on everyone that has views or politics we dont like. In history the last one has proved to be very dangerous cause it’s open to be interpreted in whatever way the ones in power choose. So yes, Iran it’s not in the top 10 of my favourite governments either. For me it’s not a reason to bomb it out of nowhere, because we go back to the law of the one with the most power, and as of now i wouldnt trust Trump doing whatever he feels like.

No because, you see, they good. They not previously communist, in fact, they hate commies. So very easy, if america do its good and iran deserved it because only us can have nuclear bombs and they cant cause they are brown. Everything was ok according to international law, nothing was violated whatsover, instead russian yes they violated law and all their soldiers are stupid cause they follow blindly the orders of an autoritarian leader which uses poor excuses to pursue economic or political interests. Very different.

Very interesting! Yeah it’s strange the use of the fly, i’d argue that a cat has a more doubleface aura than a cat. Still pretty cool

Feel free to do whatever you want man, im not gonna stop you. They asked and i answered just for fun, i just think this way but you’re never gonna see me bother anyone neither in real life or online for their choices. It’s just that this comes to my mind when i see it. Have a nice day

In Italy “uccello” (bird) means penis in a very unformal context, usually used with friends. In Tuscany, for the regional ones, we have “Topa” (female of the mouse) to indicate a very pretty girl, also very unformal and a bit rude. Same translation for “passera” (female of the sparrow). Both can also indicate the literal female reproductive organe. “Gatta morta” (dead female cat) means somebody who acts ingenous or hide her personality under a chill, almost naif mask to act at the opportune moment.

Good ev olive oil is something else. Once you try you can never go back to.

I lived most my life using and tasting the highest quality cause my dad works in the agricolutural field, writing contracts for farmers and etc. and, while not so good paid, the job comes with the upside of the presents from said farmers. Liters and liters of the highest quality oil italy can produce. I think we never (since he had this job) boight a can of oil, and its a pretty big save too considering that kind of oil easily goes for 20€/L.

When i was out for university, my tight budget meant i had to resort to just “Olive oil”. Not EV. Not 100% local. I though “how bad can it be, its still pressed olives!” Bad, very bad.

<3 thank you :)

Thank you for the support and the advices, people were very kind and helpful :) i’ll make sure to search for somebody to listen to my long-ass venting lol Wish you a good day and reciprocate the hug :)

Thank you, i hope i will eventually get to a point were i can reconnect with her, but now it’s not time yet, as you said. She would be happy to listen to me and very sympathetic. Really wish i could afford therapy rn haha. I’m lucky to have friends who are happy to listen to me and try to help each in their own way. And as for romance ill make sure to stay away from it for a good bit lol. Thank you very much again fir your support and kind words, wish you a good day :)

We were together for two years, if you’re right i can expect some fun months to come haha. Jokes aside, i think you are right for there were some problema in communications, from both sides but in all homesty i cant say i wasnt expecting the breakup. I smelled it from at least a month before. Im not the type to blame others, im rather more likely to blame me and overthink my mistakes. Thank you for your advice, as i said in another comment i’m trying to focus on university at the moment and my future in general. I just have to accept the fact that there will be someone else, one day ore another. Thanks again, wish you a good day :)

Thank you very much :) im trying to focus on university cause i feel i neglected it too much and maybe it will help to keep me busy. I’ll also work all summer so i also hope that will help keeping my mind away. You’re right, now its not time yet to confront her. I feel like i would be overrun by feelings, i have to cool it down. Thanks for the kind words, i wish you a good a day :)

Thank you for your advice. I always tried to be as trasparent as i could and i think im ok with myself and how i behaved (mostly). You are right, sometimes things just happen and people just move away from one another. But one thing im scared of is losing her also as a friend. I sincerely hope i can grow out of this whole situation and come back to a friendship. I know it will be almost impossibile to get back the same exact relationship we had before all the dating, but i hope we can at least get back to being just normal friends. It would suck if we were to lose each other forever. But yeah, i guess i just have to find the courage to finally turn the page, insted of hoping we could rewind. Thank you again for your words, have a nice day :)

Thank you for your advice and your kindness :) i would love to go to therapy, but sadly all the money i make with work goes toward future rent for university and expenses. Whenever ill have some money be assured that therapy is the first thing i will spend it on haha. About your second point i think you’re right, away from the eyes away from the heart (dont know if its used in english). As i said i unistalled instagram and the fact that she lives away helped about the no contact. The spare occasions, as i said three if i remember correctly, where i saw her were for graduation parties of good friends i had to attend, so i had to swallow the pill. On august she’s gonna go abroad for a year with the uni so i guess that will help haha. Thank you again for taking time to read and respond, have a good day :)
