Merry Christmas 2019

Another year Is almost passed. Every year we try to find what worked and what not. This year and this Christmas i would like to wih everyone "find yourself and be fatihfull to her/his." Life Is One and you have to live it in your way. Don't listen anybody. Be yourself and do everything your way. You have to answer only to your questions. Treat yourself good and don't judge you too much.You are perfect as you are.

My first 3 years as volunteer in Italian Red Cross

Hello boys and girls,

three years ago is started a big travel for me called "Red Cross".

10 December 2016 - 10 December 2019

When I was a child I watched on television those people who brought help to disaster sites. I had only one thing in mind, I would have liked to go and help those people and bring some joy and joy. For years I looked for a way to do it but I couldn't find it until a friend of mine talked to me about the Red Cross and so I caught the ball and tried. 

To realize my dream I tried to train myself as much as I could but today I believe that you can never learn enough and you are never prepared enough. I believed from the beginning of my training in the 7 principles that unite all the Red Cross volunteers in the world, the most beautiful thing I saw in every service and how we all smile, and today this is a rare thing. If you can do something that makes you smile and feel good. Today is the moment, don't let others do what you could have done but didn't want to do. 

This is what accompanies me every day as a volunteer. Probably my dream will never come true but I am happy anyway with what I have done up until now only pushed by the spirit of helping and not earning and making money on it. To me and to all my traveling companions, near and far, I send my best wishes for this meeting achieved together "Our first 3 years in the Italian Red Cross"

IF THE MAN IS NOT ABLE TO LOVE HIS BROTHERS, HE IS LOST

Perfection does not exist

Today I want to share with you part of Vanessa Incontrada's monologue at "20anniCheSiamoItaliani" (Twenty years we are Italian) and that has impressed me a lot. It expresses exactly what I think about the search for perfection typical of today's society. A society that as already said, in my humble opinion, wants us all the same and puppets. It takes us different from what we are. You can find the italian video here:

Perfection does not exist. Maybe they told me before, you know? We should put it among the first teachings they give us: wash your hands before eating, don't say bad words, perfection doesn't exist. 

Do you know how much time lost searching for it? It's like in love, I thought I had to be perfect to find the man of my life, to like him, because he fell in love with me; in the end I found a special man who told me something that made me think a lot: "you have to smile about your faults". And it's true... 

Sometimes I would like to talk to Vanessa many years ago and give her advice, Vanessa stop wanting to be different from what you are because so much perfection doesn't exist. I wanted to become what I am not, a little taller, a little thinner, everyone wanted me different but everyone who? 

I lost time trying to be right and forgetting to be happy because I thought I was wrong in the eyes of others ... 

If I were born in the 30s or 50s when the female model was morbid, I would have been perfect, but I was alive in 2000 and having the forms is considered wrong, and for what reason should I be ashamed? ... 

Now I can smile but it hasn't always been that way because sometimes the criticisms hurt, especially when they come from a cell phone and get straight to the stomach and when you go in around you know that behind the faces you meet on the street or in the supermarket or in front of the school those who think you are wrong could hide. But in reality that "all" does not exist. There are people, some may like others not but that's okay because perfection does not exist, only what you think of yourself counts when you look in the mirror. Well I am proud of what I see, sometimes I like myself others not but I love the person in front of me and I think it is important to surround ourselves with people who love us for what we are and that push us to be ourselves because so much in life "perfection does not exist".

I don't like the society where i live sometimes

Today I will try to talk about myself for the first time in many years. I spent my whole life covering my fragility in the world and my family so as not to have to give sorrows, to create a strong mask that would defend me from the world. The truth is only one: I do not like the current society in which I live, I do not like how we should act in order to arrive at a result and who you should become in order to be considered someone. Our society does not appreciate real and loyal people as much as it wants to make them believe they despise it and if it could crush them, it often does. A person becomes "a beautiful person" only after his disappearance and this is neither fair nor fair for a human being. It is true that I find it difficult to find my place in the world and I will always have it because "I do not want to become what society wants me to be", I do not want to compromise nor to accept facilities from anyone because it would make me feel obliged . I want to be who I am and I don't want to apologize to myself for being someone I don't like.

Good night guys... Have a nice day

EmerCampania2019

Hi boys and girl, today I'll talk about one of my last experiences done this year "Emercampania2019", a national red cross camp to learn about managment of Emergency Situations. I am a volunteer of Italian Red Cross and Yesterday 5 of December was the Mondial day of Volunteers so i thinked to post one of my video made for this occasion.

It has now been a few days since my experience at the emerCampania2019, it has been an experience in the intense and exciting emergency that has allowed me to put myself to the test as a voluntary emergency operation. It was not easy to compare myself with what it means to "operate in an emergency" but the desire to learn has been great, understanding the emergency is complicated and it is fundamental "to recognize in those who have more experience than you a guide, to trust yourself sometimes to directives that not even you understand but above all rely on your colleagues, in an emergency they become your family and nobody better than them can understand what you are feeling. When working in an emergency even volunteers experience it on their own skin. " Obviously an exercise is not reality but it allows you to grow and mature; the futility on which our society is based show themselves for what they are. People need to be considered human beings, not just in an emergency, but often our society forgets it. I am proud to be part of an association that is always everywhereforeveryone. I take this opportunity to thank President Teresa Natale who allowed me to have this experience, the Italian Red Cross Regional Committee for Campania who with dedication organized this event in Cercola (in particular the DRAE Salvatore Tommy Ruocco, the coordinator Davide Scognamiglio, Lello De Falco and all SOR), the SON who believed in the Campania, the Red Cross Emergency Area managers but most of all my adventure companions from all over Italy (and not) who put up with me and supported me in these 5 days, without them this experience would not have been the same. 

Welcome back

Hi boys and girl...
finally I am back after some years. I decided to restart this blog, also if maybe it is not so interesting for anybody, to share my real life with you from the beginning. The idea is to create a space where anybody can ask me what want to know about me and I'll do the possible.
Let's start from today.

I am Mary and This was not so the best day for me. Some year ago i decided to restart my engineering studies and now i am three exams till the end so I would study today but I didn't. It is not a good period for me but I try everyday to smile and to go on better as possibile. Anyone have to do in this way. Life is one and we have one shot to live it so Live it better is possible.

Have a good night guys
I love you
Kisses
