When I think about my lovely Swedish friends back in Sweden I can really see how differnt my life is compared to theirs. I play around in my life like a kid while they are developing grown up lives. I hang out every evening while they more often spend the evenings at home. I don't see myself with a villa, volvo and babies within the next 2-3 years while many people in my age in Sweden does. In that kind of way I'm more Italian; I'm more social, less serious and more childish.
Instead I am different from the Italians in the way I think and behave. I am more organized, I plan more, I am always on time and I more importantly I am always very honest. I don't say Italians are layers but they talk a lot, promise a lot and then nothing happens. They also are very good at talking about themselves by adding on some small extra bits to make it sound good which I wouldn't say many Swedes do. I'm also more structured, if I wanna have something done I make sure to make it happen. Here it's more manana manana... It will happen but you might have to wait few months for it.... I always want to have it done n o w! Also I would never promise to do something and then not show up or cancel in the last second which I have realised people often do here. Then I rather take away bits of my stories to make sure they are 100% true than add on extra bits. If I promise to help someone I would then also do it otherwise I would feel so ashamed. Here they are really good talkers and I have learned to listen with half the ear many times and not to take them 100% serious... So wherever I am, I'm different - I'm strange!
However, the older I get the more I accept to follow my own dreams and don't listen or look to much at others. I go on with things I like and make sure to change things I don't like. I love to have fun and there for I make sure to make the best of every day, to laugh a lot and constantly enjoy myself. People might say I'm not serious and don't live the proper life of a 29 year old girl should do but why should I change when I like it the way I have it? It's just 100% me!
