hahaaa i wish that was my house! that's the cottage, a ballroom/art gallery by the sea in the public villa of trani! its back windows let you look down to the waves - not needed cos all the villa has a walk by the sea,,, [hope you've been good while I was away!]

evening!🕯 sorry for missing you all these days, have been repainting the outside of my house + creating + trying to savour life in its true consistency via experiences with my friends. here's more from the villa, w/ descriptions in alt text and a story in the last pic! trani, italy; 15/05 10.56am.
the great bandstand, bearer of memories from the great age of  cast ironwork - such as matching park benches and dragons around the streetlights.this building created for public wc services only. look at the poppy 1960s brut feeling stay still against twisted maritime pines.the 'chalet', now an art gallery for temporary exhibitions, seen from one of the windows.two miniparrots!
coming to you with just a few crumbs of memories from my life, a silly story, a moment of self-affirmation in the hard rush of life and public transportation.
when I was taking this picture, my phone was losing battery points bit by bit. it ended up dying in my hands as I walked out of the green lush villa and making my way to the station under the sun. 
as I crossed the streets i saw a beautiful young woman my age driving a white fiat 500x. i stopped this lovely girl to ask her for directions but my soul was saying 'cmon bill you need help. do grow out the self-management shell and learn to ask when you need someone's help. this is the best moment to do so'
in a second i side eyed the girl and said 'heyy errrrr i --- i'd ask ya to take me there but dont wanna make use of your time,,,, and don't know if u feel like it to begin with,,,,' 
the girl said yes.
she took me to the station right on time.
smiled at me, asked me if I ever came to trani ad I said no, never on my own - that's why i didnt know where the station was at.
my soul echoed 'cool. not quite what you really are, byt the winds are starting to get you shaped.'
i asked her how much is the regular caffé corto at the bar.
she says around 1.2-1.5.
i leave her 2 eur for her kindness, and while she insists i take it back, i smile and hurl out just in time for the train to stop.
she desnt know but by that means, i got even closer to who i am that day.
i hipe she fully enjoyed whatever those 2 euros got her. 🕯x

evening!🕯 things are moving, and I have updates to tell you and newness to show you - so while i'm trying to select how to put everything into place, enjoy some beautiful moments from yesterday morning right before an angel saved the day - more of that later ! [pictures captioned] trani, 15/05.
the seaside promenade below a spotty streaky sky and the oddest most tallest block of flats i've ever seen.  to the right is the grandiose villa comunale, and the sea.the vivid red blossom of the australian bottlebrush, one of my ever favourite plants and now a public garden favourite i see x"]jasmine blossom i nicked and smelled all the way to the city centre +  my necklaces + name and pronouns tag for the get-to-know-me before a special event ill tell you more about soon !!the white choc and raspberry croissant and leather sofa in the cafe my day started with ! i saw my friend who hosted me for the night there, and then sat down enjoying some appresh for the moment + sane criticism to the gentrification of the coffee break with my friends on the group !those are really the interactions i cherish most in life.

it’s never occurred to me that people in my life would think themselves privileged to be on such a rocky road, haha !! it’s still an extensive journey, on an heavily packed car and with so much distance between one sight and another, but i’m so glad i have the best people traveling with me! 🩶🕯️x

aww mags that feels so uplifting !! i'm so surprised that despite its gloomy, humid feel, it managed to still feel soothing and comforting to the senses x"] it is also so beautifully strange to me to see my silly efforts be perceived as works of art - it touches me everytime with unexpected joy !🕯

i really hope that it virtually embraced you and everyone into the ideal waters of a summery sea, for the dreamy visuals originated from my many dives at the beach under the grand castle in my beloved town of roseto ! so glad you loved the video, it helped me joyfully hold summer close!

that was about 3 hours ! took the first one at 7.25 and arrived with the last one at 10.30! funkiest part of the journey was me not remembering the railways bus stop was on a totally different street but named the same as 3 other stops for other bus companies!

evening!🕯 today i faced The most intense journey i've ever embarked on - took three different buses to go meet two of my friends in putignano ! we enjoyed cooking, walking, and talking deep in a dive within ourselves to fish out the unknown. this was on a blocked road out of town. 24/04 3:21pm.
