Happy Birthday Zelda!

Happy birthday to one of the most gorgeous woman ever seen!
July 24, 1900



"Oh, the secret life of man and woman—dreaming how much better we would be than we are if we were somebody else or even ourselves, and feeling that our estate has been unexploited to its fullest”

Day 6 : About Life

Being depressed without knowing is dangerous.

2 years ago,I remember I crashed my car 2 times in one month. My dad was crazy.The first time I crashed I remember that my first thought was : "I hope the car is okay"
The second time : "oh god...this time is gonna be expensive" Even though I hit my head with the glass and my neck was hurting like hell..to be honest I couldn't care less about me.

When I recovered I felt more alive (annoyingly alive) funny how we feel like that after something literally hits you. At school I didn't do my homework. At house...I don't even remember what I used to do. Just staying in bed all day sleeping was okay for me. & when my friends called me to invite me to go out I always had an excuse to decline the invitation "oh i'm sorry I have work to do"

I stopped using makeup...I wore just oversized pijamas & most of the money I got I used to spend it on food. I looked around just with envy. "ugh! everyone is happy nowdays"

My mom always asked me why I always was so serious...I just looked at her with a frown. I wasn't being serious I was just...dull.

So at christmas while everyone was happy and hugging each other, the only thing that was in my head was the idea of start over: "new year is coming...maybe everything is gonna change"

With new year came a thing called hope.

I never thought about killing myself.I was just not living nor surviving. Suriving mens that even if the world is against you,you want to keep on going; but me...I was just breathing.

Weeping all night hoping the tears would wash away my worries a new year began.

& now I'm okay.
The urge of do new stuff, create projects & make plans was overwhelming.
Still is.
Is never to late to cheer up.

The Zelda Project

Ciao!
Come stai?
I was searching some info about Zelda Fitzgerald & I found this amazing post about How To Have A Zelda Fitzgerald Summer . If you want to read the article just click the link, if not...well is basically a list of things to have a Zelda summertime. On a nutshell is this:
  • Do not work
  • Befriend someone with a country house
  • 'Yes' is always the answer
  • Fall in love
 & guess what? I'm totally doing this & not just that, I'm going to add more things to this list so I can feel like a real flapper.
For example other stuff that Zelda used to do like:

  • Dance (she had an obsession with ballet)
  • Writing ( after she had a breakdown, she was not longer allowed to have dancing lesson, so she wrote a novel called "Save Me The Waltz" based on her own life & marriage but the book was unsuccessful but she still wrote a couple of things)
  •  Painting (after the failure of her book she decided to express herself through painting)
etc. etc. etc. but mainly this.

I'm using this blog to show you all how is my project going. Kinda like a diary.
So, let's begin with this Zelda mayhem!

Very sincerely yours, C.

So I'm back (unfortunately)

Hello sweethearts!
I'm back with some news.
I have to stay at home as much as I can (just to rest) but I can go out to do some stuff that doesn't requiere a lot of effort.
Why? Well turns out I have anemia (I even fainted) big show indeed.
so that actually half ruined my summer (I hate summer by the way, the sun makes my skin burn in flames, like a vampire)

Sooooooo! I've been a little nostalgic & now I spend my days reading articles online or books or book reviews or reblogging stuff on tumblr.

Watching 'Midnight in Paris' didn't help.
I got caught by the character of Zelda Sayre (F. Scott Fitgerald's wife) I was hooked.
So I made some research about her. I fell in love with her. Her paitings, her letters, her life, her...everything!

So I'm kind of posposing the project I had of making a online comic about a story I was writting. I'm focusing now on Zelda Fitzgerald.

You'll know about that later.
For now...go outside and enjoy your summertime.
see you next post!
