On the road again.

I'm in London, about to go to bed. I checked in to the Hilton, Avy told me I could probably visit her friend that lives here but I'm too shy. Now I feel stupid because I'm all alone and not sure what to do.

It was hard leaving Italy and my aunt, but I got tired of the countryside and the quiet war between her and my father. Like I said, I understand him better now but I'm also more afraid. Of my whole family, its history, the future. It's so weird that the Italians never speak of the mafia, when everyone knows it's there all the time. It's like a cancer, and I guess people hope that ignoring it will make it go away. Well, I know I will never be able to forget it ever again. Good or bad.

    as far as new information that scares you, maybe you need to take the time to process it? when you feel rested, maybe you could start by leaving the room, or leaving the building, then maybe down the street? or you could just call up the friend & meet them for coffee, or a snack? be proud you made it to london. that was very brave of you.

    meet avy's friend, have drink before and a lot of drinks WITH her. you will be fine. she might be just as shy. at least i would be. so don't hide with just room service as company.

    As Teddi mentioned,just getting to London should make you proud of yourself.On the friend part,if Avy befriended her she must be "cool" enough to hang out with,or so I believe.
    Love,Just.

    You are brave, you should stop to be shy :) Or just walk in London, breathe its atmosphere and try to take pics of some cool vintage fashion (maybe you could write about vintage shops? :)). Don't be shy, discover new places and meet some people :) Star with Avy's friend, and let her introduce you to more people :) Sorry for bad english, kisses from Czech republic :)*

    That's what people are usually like. They want each other to understand them well but don't ever really share what they truly feel.
    Italians seem to have their own taste in everything related to them.. Don't concentrate too much on what doesn't deserve the attention you pay. You're in London. LONDON! Have fun! :)
