I find it curious to look back on and re-examine my own life through a process of this sort. To be honest, I would never have thought I would end up doing it. Then I met Alessandro: gradually and rather spontaneously this project developed, and I found myself re-establishing connections with parts of my life that were resurfacing bit by bit. I almost didn’t realize it as it was happening.
I can now say that I have adopted different views about certain events of my past, those that take place over the course of a lifetime without leaving enough time to ponder them and put them into perspective. Perhaps this long exploration, this intense reflection, has been important and even necessary at this point in my life. Most of all, as I have since discovered, facing my memories has not simply caused me to become melancholic about things that slipped away with time; it has also encouraged me to look ahead, to realize that I am still here to wonder what else may happen.
This is beyond a shadow of a doubt the best book ever written about me, the most authentic, the most detailed and well curated.
The truest.
