A job for me

  I don't like to think a lot about work and the future because people have scared me, every time you say you study arts there is a comment about the lack of work and things like that. But if I had to dream, beyond all these fears and insecurities, the job I would like to have would be to paint and sell very expensive paintings. I imagine myself painting at home and going outside very little, perhaps with pale skin from being locked up for so long. I definitely like indoor jobs, as you may have noticead.  Although I wouldn't mind traveling if it is from time to time to beautiful countries. I would like to be very well financially so as not to worry too much about subsisting and eventually taking care of my mother or my sister, so the salary, which is the paintings sold, must be gigantic.  On the other hand, now I study plastic arts and perhaps next year I will study to be a teacher, because I like to teach, but also for job and economic stability, since nothing assures me...

A photo and the story

  This photo was taken by my younger sister, she is 11 years younger than me and is like my daughter, her name is Martina. In the photo, me and her appeared, about two years ago, one day I stayed with her, in sleepover mode, which is usual, because I always take care of her, since she was born. I like this photo because it captures the happy and fun character of my sister. We slept together, watched movies at night and talked about life, the next morning she woke me up taking pictures of me and I told her that I looked very bad, so we decided to edit the photo, but in a very exaggerated way. She edited it with my cell phone editing apps and put different filters on it. She particularly likes the photo because she says it looks like a noodle or a worm is coming out of the hole in her nose. I also like this photo because it represents a time when my sister was more communicative and close to me, now she is going through adolescence and is more isolated. I hope that when she grows up ...

I love cinema

 I have always loved the cinema, but since I am studying art I believe that I  have another relationship with it because with the art my sensations open up to the visual elements and also I'm very open to feel whatever the movie or series makes me feel.  I have a lot of empathy and I'm so sensitive too, so practically I feel always like the protagonist, the secundary character or even the extras.  I generally like fantasy, action, psychological or suspense movies. I also like to watch documentary series of serial killers or political dictators, although the last time I saw a documentary of a person surfing a 36-meter wave. I've actually seen a lot of movies and series, so naming just a few types of genres sounds very specific.  A remarkable film that I've seen is called "La la land", I was crying for almost two days after seeing it. The movie is a musical and meanwhile the plot progresses it turns into a kind of magical realism, where the characters walk throu...
