Wabi Sabi: a Japanese term, almost untranslatable into other languages.

It originates from the combination of two words: "simplicity" and "beauty that comes from the passage of time."

We tend to think and believe that what happens to us must be perfect. Perfect advertisements, perfect social media posts, perfect lives. Yes, but what's beyond that?

As I write this, the movie "The Truman Show" comes to mind, a 1998 film directed by Peter Weir, dedicated to a life among lives. The existence of a human being, filmed from birth in every moment, in perfect, textbook contexts and situations, repeating day after day.

Beyond there is a curtain, a camera, a life lived from a fictitious context, from a frame of reference that has nothing genuine. Except for Truman.

This is what the Wabi Sabi approach brings with it: the reflection that "we are only human beings" and, as human beings, we are imperfect. We will make mistakes, but we can learn from our mistakes. We will fall, but we can get up. Human, imperfect, in continuous becoming and potential improvement.

I want to dedicate this first blog post precisely to all this: to the beauty of simple and continuous becoming, to change which is the lifeblood, to every physiological life cycle, to being and feeling human; because, in the end, "no man's story is a straight line, starting with the trace of one's heartbeat."

This is my site, a "human" site: I will talk about what I have studied and study, what fascinates and inspires me. Because beyond the perfection of a post, there is more. Beyond a CV, there is more. There are people who, before anything else, always remain human beings.
