My European Summer Adventure Part 1 of Many


So....as I wrote before, I went to Italy. I stayed in Italy for about a week. I guess I have been putting off writing this post and sharing pictures because I didn't quite know how to explain the situation that evolved without offending anyone.

Ok, here goes. Compassion compassion compassion. To myself and the world.

I am in Germany now, and that was not originally the plan.

I planned on staying in Italy for 3 weeks, just as my exchange student had stayed in my home for 3 weeks.  Unfortunately the exchange experience was uncomfortable for me and not what I had expected.

When I called my family a week into my time in Italy, I ended up crying and telling about my situation. After a bit of craziness, it was arranged that I would either go home or go to Germany the next day.

But why Germany? Well....I am super duper blessed to have an amazing neighbor named Suzy. She has close family friends in a wonderful city called Freiburg and so she asked if I could hang out there for 2 weeks.

When my mom called to tell me I could go to Germany I was so happy. The next morning I went to the train station in Milan and saddled up to my new adventure.

I am leaving Freiburg tomorrow and I have so many stories I will share on this here blogity blog. And pictures! I can't forget the pictures. As a kind of "transition post" I am sharing my pictures up to when I arrived in Germany.

 Remeber to take care of yourself folks and speak up if something makes you feel bad. The best thing you can do is have an empathetic conversation and who knows...you might end up in a lovely city in Germany

Nine months later I emerge with the hopes of being vaccinated soon. FUcking hell. What a trip. This pandemic is going to require a lot of processing in the future but for now, I want to share and record some things I am very proud that I accomplished over this period of time. I was able to help start and run a campaign to eventually get my high school drama teacher who spread the rumor that I called the cops at a cast party which ruined my social life at that school while stalking me and my friends and constantly trying to get me in compromising and damn disgusting and gross situations. His charm to his superiors and the gaslighting and abuse of students has been heavily weighing on me in a way I have yet to fully deal with. I spoke out in high school and was silenced, threatened, and made to feel unwelcome. Yet the internet and living in a whole separate continent does wonders for confidence. I helped create a petition, gathered testimonies, and launched this campaign with my friends

Rainy Night Writing

There is something quite different about writing when it is raining outside than when it isn't. I despise my frozen toes and fingers, yet I love drinking chocolate almond milk with banana bread. It seems almost enchanting, like creativity is plopping on your rooftop. Writing in the rain, so odd. Writing in the rain It is like laughing during a thunder cloud, in perfect harmony with nature, rhyming and paralleling the weather, writing in the rain, creativity pours from you, as you hear the pitter patter, you wonder where the drops will all go, writing in the rain, a clean slate to begin again, a downpour of ideas, soon to come again, I love writing in the rain.
