Have you ever wondered what people were looking at when they weren't looking at you? Why did they decide to be enchanted by looking at anything but you?
I had always felt left in the blurred part of the image, the one that you obviously saw, but it wasn't the center of attention, because anyone or everything made more than it. Everything, it yielded more than me.
By now I could have called myself a woman, who had been lucky enough to work, immediately after graduating, for the Haas F1 Team. What could be better, to always be in the dark corner of the photo?
I had been employed by the team for a year and despite this, I had the impression that my assignments were almost superficial, despite the fact that I could do much more. Staying in the world of Motorsport, however, was enough, it made at least half of the dreams I had come true.
The sound of the PC brought me back to reality. It was the notification of the arrival of an email. Who sent it in the early afternoon?
I approached undecided, moving the black wooden chair to make room for myself and then sitting down. I lifted the computer screen ajar, which revealed my open mailbox. With the right click, I went to click on the main entry, and a series of unread emails appeared.
Changing phone contracts, insurance advice, Ferrari, new requests on Instagram, adopt a lion...
I froze for a second before closing the page with the x at the top of the corner. Ferrari, it said Ferrari.

I sighed in astonishment. I really couldn't have expected this. Likewise, I should have called my stepfather first, and that would have upset him too.
I sat down for a few seconds on the sofa set up near the table. I would have had to move to Italy. Was I ready for this?
I had always been described as a person who brooded too much and thought constantly, a million times, before coming to a conclusion about a certain action. Would I have done it again this time? Reliving the same scenario in my mind, so much so that I changed my mind? My best friend Kyla would answer “probably yes,” and I couldn't deny the obvious.
