Non sai di che colore è fatta la scelta di abbandonare la propria terra per poter essere se stessi. Cominciare a spuntare la lista di tutte le cose rimandate, che farai piano piano nei tempi sbagliati. Come i primi appuntamenti a venticinque anni, quando gli altri già si sposano .
Non sai la sensazione di non avere i mezzi per invaghirti come fanno tutti. Non sai com’è stare in un bar, sorridere a qualcuno in fondo e non potergli lasciare il tuo numero, perché chissà se corrisponde o ti dà a schiaffi. Non sai com’è rinunciare alla spontaneità del caso e agli impulsi genuini, ma dover costringere i propri desideri in un locale a tema o in una chat in cui nessuno ti rivela il proprio nome per paura; Non sai com’è sentirsi privati fin dal principio della libertà d’unione, e non diventare mai adulti per davvero. Non poter rincorrere gli istinti della tradizione umana e biologica, ma ascoltare dai politici e dalle masse che non avrai mai diritto alla felicità in due. Come goccia dopo goccia, che le tue emozioni sono solo frutto di una deformazione.Tu non sai molte cose. Non sai quasi niente. Ma tutti i giorni ti aggrappi al sacrosanto privilegio di dire la tua e mi spezzi il cuore. Non ci siamo neanche mai visti, eppure mi devasti la vita. Incurante, com’è la tua specie e pure la mia. Incurante. Che se tutti smettessimo di esserlo, nei confronti di chi ci vive intorno, non ci resterebbe che la pace.
Does anyone else consider the idea of Nico di Angelo have a huge biological family. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m pretty sure that is very possible. If Italian families are anything like Latino families (which my Italian friend confirms that they are) they are huge and loud. My friend and I (and occasionally our Italian social studies teacher) have spoken about the similarities between family gatherings of the two, and they are extremely similar. At both kinds of gatherings there are always a lot of people, a lot of noise, and a lot of food. From what I gather they also tend to be very family oriented. So, I pose this question, could Nico di Angelo have a huge family his mother’s side in Italy, and just not know it?
Every time I use a phrase like “flamboyantly villainous Italians” in this essay I can sense my ancestors nodding their approval from the afterlife
tbh the best part of learning new languages is when you accidentally find origins of some words in your native/second language
gets me so excited every time!
Ok I literally don’t care about the people who say I eat too much pasta and that pasta is unhealthy, do you know who eat a lot of pasta? ITALIANS. And do you know who have one of the best life expectancies in the world?? ITALIANS. Yeah, got you there you pasta-shamers
In my opinion, the idea of bisexuality only being accepted into the LGBT community because it includes same-sex attraction I feel is the wrong way of looking at bisexuality.
Bisexuality is part of the LGBT community because of the role bisexuals took in LGBT history, we’re a part of the community because we face similar discrimination.
Viewing bisexuals as part of the LGBT community because we have same-sex attraction is essentially saying we’re part of the community because we’re “half-gay”, which I feel is just the wrong way of viewing bisexuals and bisexuality.
Repeat after me:
- You’re still bisexual if you’ve only ever been with women.
- You’re still bisexual if you’ve only ever been with men.
- You’re still bisexual even if no one believes you.
- You’re still bisexual if you’re attracted to nonbinary people.
- You’re still bisexual if you’re in a relationship with someone of a different gender.
- You’re still bisexual if you’re in a relationship with someone of the same gender.
- You’re still bisexual if you never have the chance to be with a woman.
- You’re still bisexual if you never have the chance to be with a man.
As someone who identifies as bisexual, I chose to spend the rest of my life with a man, because he is the love of my life. I’ve never had sex with a woman, and due to these circumstances, probably never will. But that doesn’t make me any less bisexual. Don’t let circumstances erase your validity and self-worth. You’re important, and just because you never had an experience, you can still identify the way that you want.
