Chi nasce tunno nun po' murì quadrato

You can improve yourself, but you can’t change your nature.

Between order and chaos: the dance of life

I had promised myself I’d become an organized person. I bought boxes, I made lists, I put everything in its place. It lasted eleven days. Yesterday I caught myself in the mirror while I was hunting for a bill in a drawer that had gone right back to how it was before, with books on the bed and the boxes still empty on the floor, and I started laughing. It’s not that I didn’t try. It’s that this is how I’m made, and at some point you just make your peace with it.
