..some thoughts...

This is a evening I’d like to spend with someone special. As a matter of fact, there are some particular moments in life that makes you wonder about hard questions such as: who I am? What do I live for? Will I have a happy life? Where do I come from? Is there anyone out there that takes care of me? Why does pain exist?
Maybe I’m too young to understand everything, probably I’m too young even for questions like these, but when you try to see your life from an other point of view, you certainly find out something that you haven’t ever notice yet.
You are a person. It seems an obvious thought, but it isn’t so immediate. I mean, you are someone, you are a very important part of the world, you can do things, you can think, you can help other people, you can believe in something and you can fight for it.
Being a human being involves duties but also rights, sorrow but also joy, choices and mistakes, frustrations and deep satisfaction. It’s the spell of life, it’s amazing, and it’s difficult to explain how, but then you start to live in a more conscious way, you start to try to act if you were in the other people’s shoes…
I'm also thinking, for instance, of those that don't give the proper importance to their lives, and throw them away because of wrong choices. For example, people that are afraid of face the reality and hide behind addiction from drugs or alchool, trying to build up an alternative world where they don't really need to stand the real life, which seems too scary and hard. Or also people too selfish, that act without thinking to others, only concentrated on their life and their needs, don't understanding how much they hurt other people.
In my opinion, we must keep in mind that the fact that we are alive, that we are someone, it’s not as common as we use to think, instead it is a gift, a present that we have to preserve, to use well and to remember how incredible and precious is.
What do you think about it? Let me know your point of view :)
p.s.: this is the song that I'm listening to right now.. I'd like you to listen to it, if you want :)

Just a little introduction :)

Hi! I’m a 16 year old girl and my name on this blog is ‘Starlight’ (I have chosen it because it’s the title of a song I like). Welcome everybody to my website, I hope you’ll enjoy it!
I live in Bari, a city in the South of Italy, which in my opinion is pretty nice especially because being next to the seaside gives me a sense of fredoom and relaxation and makes me feel closer to the wild power of nature and to different cultures too, because the sea it’s also an important tool to make different people get in contact, just such as the internet does…
Although I’m a student and so I spend a lot of time on books, research and so on, I have also some free time and I like spendin’ it hanging out with my class mates, going to the gym, reading, listening to the music (if you like rock music, I’m sure we’ll be very good friends :) )..
Besides, I’m keen on cooking (for istance, I make a lot of cakes and cookies for my boyfriend, who seems to appreciate my new hobby :P), and I also use to take pics of my sweet creations.
This is the first time I have created a blog on the net and I think it can be a good way to share feelings, ideas and interests with other people. It could be also a funny way to communicate with friends and meet new people from all over the world!
The title of this blog is ‘Whis you were here’ because one of the most famous song by Pink Floyd, which is my favourite one, and it’s also a way to invite all of you to this page!
This is just a little introduction, but if you really want to know me and to read my posts, follow my blog and feel free to add a comment whenever you like to! :)
