everything happens for a reason

what am i waiting for?

A week and a half passed and it's been amazing! I brought Cate to all of my favorite places around here and she loved them. We have just a few days together, or more. Speaking of that, we've never told my parents about that whole 'moving with Cate' thing. Suddenly, Cate decided for me that today is that day cause we're running out of time.

My parents have always been so strict and i hated them for that. Even growing up, I had to do everything they wanted and they didn't even let me appear for who I actually am. I had to hide a lot of things to them, I still do actually. I'm so nervous, god.

And there we are, in my childhood house. My dad is trying his best to talk to Cate about how was the actress's life, my mum is just sitting there not understanding a shit of what Cate says. And here, that's the moment. Cate speaks

"so, I know it may be a little rushed but I have to propose you both a thing, I already did to her and it would have been respectful telling you this myself"

"ok, tell me"

my dad replies to her with the easiest words he could find and then, he translates everything Cate said to my mom cutting it short

"I got to know your daughter during this days and she told me about her dreams and stuff. She could move with me, I currently live in London, but i have to be in New York for almost a month. I will send her to a very good university if that would be necessary in case she wouldn't like the world of the cinema or she can do both, if she feels like it. I am leaving in like three days. What do you think? Oh and I'll pay for the university"

to my surprise, my dad understood everything but he don't know how to reply, so he just says

"one second"

and he translates everything to my mom, always cutting it short. They whisper to each other for a minute. My dad finally decides to speak looking right into my eyes.

"che stai aspettando?" (what are you waiting for?)

yes, i think to myself. che cosa sto aspettando? what am I waiting for? And then my dad speaks again

"she is an adult, she can decide for herself, my wife says the same"

"well then, it looks like your dreams are about to come true. Ready to live your best life?"

Cate tells me grabbing my hand that was resting on my tight for the whole time.

Time flies, to be honest it's the first time I actually enjoyed this talk with my parents.
We are leaving now.

"come visit us again when you leave"

"of course sir, and remember, your daughter is in good hands"

"I know, I know"

"Ciaoo, it was lovely to meet you"

"Ciao mamma, ciao papà" i say

"Ciao ciao" they says at the same time

And all the tension leaves my body after the front door closes. I can't wait to start packing everything, luckily my sardinia luggage is half packed cause I didn't unpacked it all and I'll just move all the items in the bigger one. I am the happiest person on the entire planet.

Once we got home I made this plan. If we don't finish all the food I'll bring it to mom's and I'm not gonna bring all of my clothes even if I'm packing a bigger suitcase then the other one cause i'll leave here all the old clothes, like the ones to stay at home. And the house I'm living in, is actually my old grandma's house, she passed out when i was a kid and she decided to leave it to my mom so I don't have to worry about any money for that home.

*time skips*

everything is finally ready, the flight is tonight and I am scared but excited. I'm
about to start a new life and I can't wait. We visited my parents this morning and we brought them all the left over food.

To be honest, I'm actually gonna miss Italy, my parents and everything in here, even if all I wished for was to leave everything and start again, my dreams are coming true.
