I love what you said about how you "did what was expected for so long" and how you found yourself saying hello "to the real me, the one that I’d been meaning to become." I really relate to that. I fell in love with Italy on my first day there when I was 19. I have lived there a few times over the years and I've led tours there and organized weddings there for Americans, and in various ways gotten myself over there as much as I can... but I never totally "left" the US for good. And I think it was because there was a part of me that wanted to be very responsible and wanted to do what was expected, and didn't want to upset my parents. Now as I am going through a divorce (and I don't have kids) I wonder if the time is right to finally make that move... I find some encouragement in your blog, so thank you!! I'd love to see you visiting my blog, which right now is mostly about a crazy experience I had in an Italian hospital this summer: http://italiandreams.wordpress.com <em>Chandi's last blog post..<a href='http://italiandreams.wordpress.com/2008/10/06/on-dying-feeling-feelings-and-body-centered-psychotherapy/' rel="nofollow">On Dying, feeling feelings and body-centered psychotherapy</a></em> <strong><em>I look forward to getting to know you better and following your journey :) Ciao!

I loved your post, as you probably guessed, but I couldn't have written it because I'm not you. I think we're safe ;)<br/><br/>And I loved Eat Pray Love too, and thought, geez, why didn't I write that many, many times ;) Miss E, I think you’re right about having to get to know each other better, but wrong about not having anything original to say…there may be a few of us with similar experiences, but the way we write about them will always have our own flair.
