Imagine your life is a movie, but not one that shows everything pretty and orderly, but one of those that begins with glorious chaos. At the same time, the protagonist tries in vain to have everything under control but finds it impossible. That’s how I often feel. Since I was a little girl, it’s as if I lived inside a novel full of decisions, paths, and conflicting passions without knowing which to choose. If you’ve ever felt trapped in a sea of interests, you know what I’m talking about.

From fashion design to veterinary medicine, dance, art, and even modern languages (yes, I know, it sounds like a movie); none of this captivated me until I discovered my true passion: writing. Along this path, not everything was as simple as reading a good book. While many of us dream of a steady, stable job, life had a different lesson in store for me. I was fired from my job, then I got another one, and guess what? I got fired, again. Life made me ask myself, “Why me?” But it also pushed me to think about what I was doing wrong.

I wasn’t a bad worker. But who says life always follows the same script? After being unemployed, I understood something important: When one door closes, another one opens. And so, a new door of opportunities opened up right in front of me to explore my passion, and as a result of that experience, this blog was born, and it reminded me that something better always comes along.

Today, my professional life is nothing like it was a few years ago. My path has been more twisted than a roller coaster, but each turn has taught me unforgettable lessons. I invite you to explore your passions and always remember that, although we don’t always control the script, we can decide how we want to live our story.

"The greatest pleasure of writing is not what it's about, but the inner music that words make."

– Truman Capote –
