Well, my first post! What should I talk about? Probably why I started this blog. I had great fun reading other people's blog and I thought I should try myself . I love to write, but never have any chances really, so I thought this could be a start in that direction.
I moved to London 8 years ago when I was only 21, but I am originally from Rome, Italy. I have found here the love of my life and I have grown up so much, it's hard to imagine how different I would have been, if I never came to this island.
England is a great country, and if I could go back in time, I would come here all over again. This life experience has taught me so much and made me who I am. I look at my friends back in Italy that have never left the security of their homes and families, and I am glad I have made this move.
BUT...
I miss my family now more than ever, and miss the lovely weather and the good food and the friendly lovely people. Will I ever be able to go back one day? Me and my other half are working on it, but it might never happen. We might actually move there and then hate it, as I now have a romanticised idea of Italy, the way it was when I left and I know I won't find everything as I left it. People moves on, things change, life continues without me, whether I like it or not. And what I am left with is no nationality, am I Italian or English? Neither! I don't feel english, as I am too italian for that, and I don't feel italian anymore, as I have acquired english traits.
I feel my roots have been taken away from me and I feel I will never get them back. I am afraid that wherever I will live, it will never feel like home to me.
I hope this doesn't matter and that I can create home wherever I feel like. I can only try and be myself wherever I go, whether is Italy or London or New York, but the good thing is that I do feel at home in my husband's arms!
See ya....

I just went back and read your first post. I didn't even know you were Italian...so a fellow expat, although maybe I found your blog on some other expat's blogs.
It's interesting to go back and look at blogger's very first posts...have you looked at your own lately?
