hello STEEMIT.. Love is not the distance

in #steemit8 years ago

 I write exactly one week after my second anniversary in England. It does not seem true, but they are already two years since I left and I could not be happier with the choice I made. 

 It was 2013 when my boyfriend told me that within a few weeks he would move to England to start an internship of six months in a Creative Agency. In all honesty I expected, she had always been his dream. Graduate and groped a career abroad.

 I was really happy for him, all the years of study eventually led to something concrete, but at the same time I was a bit 'scared.

 In the beginning I felt I did not have to leave my job in Italy and leave with him. I had a very good contract in a supermarket very close to home and I had no reason to complain. It also seemed so wrong to terminate a contract for an indefinite time thinking about all those people who every day are hoping to sign one, but he was missing. Much.

 In the evening when we were talking on Skype, I told beautiful places he visited, the interesting people he knew, the fantastic experience that was living and the months went over the desire to leave grew inside me.

 I've been thinking so much, I thought to myself as I had never done before, what should I give up what I absolutely could not do without, I asked for advice to my parents and my friends, but in the end the decision was to be my only and it has definitely been the right one. I got fired, I packed up and left.

 I reached Simone at the end of April 2014, ten months after his departure and it was the best decision of my entire life.

 For about seven months I lived in the town of Brixham, in the beautiful Riviera Inglese, in the county of Devon in the South West region. A wonderful place, full of breathtaking scenery and unspoiled nature.

 A fantastic sea touches the coast and the sun really does exist for everyone. Enchanting landscapes stretch before your eyes every time you decide to walk outdoors and in a flash you forget the hustle and bustle of big cities.

 Since November 2014, however, needs to work my boyfriend, we moved to Honiton, a characteristic little town away from Exeter, the capital of Devon.

 Here I had the opportunity to start my first real job in UK despite my English was still very poor.   Here do not seek the '' apprentice 'experience but, with pleasure, are available to give an opportunity to all and thank them always for the trust you have placed in me. After more than a year, are still in the same place and getting up in the morning to go to work is not a burden.

 Working in a Cafe, where we serve classic English breakfast, for lunch specialties, homemade desserts, great coffee and really unique and sought after hot tea.

 I met some great people that I have been of great help and who now have become crucial in my life here across the Channel. I can firmly say that now I really feel part of the community and the fact of being foreign is not and has never been a problem.

 So that my family and all my friends can know in real time what is happening across the Channel to me, I started a blog where I share my British experience. Here you can also find many useful tips and if the intention to embark on a new life in England and have any questions or curiosity, via the contact section, I am always available to answer. 

 I do not know yet what I'll stop here in England, but I'm sure when this is the place and this is where I want to live now.

But I do not deny that one day I would return to Italy, because despite being in a critical situation and the things they do not mention yet is always to improve my HOME.

wellcome

Wow, you have a lot of courage to up and leave to a new country, culture and language! Glad to hear that everything is working out for you! I'm currently far away from my home as well, and I long for it each day. It can be rewarding, though, to expose yourself to new things. Cheers!

It takes alot courage to move to another country but looking at your interesting post here, your English seems good enough to get along well with the people in England. I wish you all the best.

I am italian too... Many of us moving to UK for better opportunities, but I understand it may be hard sometimes :) don't give up!

very good

Enjoyed reading and your English is very good. I love the SW of England, especially the coastline and the towns you mention.

Life is beautiful

I wish you happiness on the chosen path

I also had a love like you .. happy....

“Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation, but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.”
― Bob Marley

hi

I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.

hey girl

bay cao nào :))

You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching,
Love like you'll never be hurt,
Sing like there's nobody listening,
And live like it's heaven on earth
