yesterday i was talking to a new friend, natalia, from brazil, about so many interesting things i felt good again of having someone to conversate on things i find interesting: films, books, philosophy, music, travelling, languages, people.

i realise that here, right now, they’re not many which whom i can have that kind of talk. i still wonder why.

such conversations make me feel as there’s so much to be done, so many interesting books to be read, so many movies to be seen, so many places to be visited, so many people to be met. and it has to do not with the amount of quality material out there which is astoundingly big. it relates to someone telling you an impression on a book or a place in her own words, her perception of it, and that is more compelling than just knowing that book, that movie will be great to see. it has to do with seeing it through other people’s eyes and their impressions on it that gives you a perspective, a sensation, a sight. after all, it is your own reading of a book what can move you. or someone else’s.

after all we’re a fundamental part of what the world means to us. and sometimes someone else is, as well, for a little while.
