Freedom has a High Price

di Giulia Mancini (Autore)

Giulia Mancini, 2017

On the threshold of her fifties, Michela retraces the important stages of her life and going back and forth between past and present she relives crucial moments: the pain, the downfalls, the defeats and rebirths, up to the full understanding of herself and the achievement of a form of serenity and, maybe, why not, of true happiness. "The choices we make, especially the rational ones, are too often dictated by social conventions and by what others expect of us . We do things out of duty and make the big blunders . With hindsight I would never do things that everybody considered perfectly legitimate and sensible. What I have done only following my instinct and my heart, I would do it again today.” "To start again I needed a superhuman courage, because I had to get my life back. And only when I overcome all this, when I am the master of my time and I feel calm and happy of solitude as well, of my space, so hard-won, and of my time because finally I'll know how to handle it, only then I will be able to declare myself truly free, to be alone or to fall in love again. This freedom must be won, but freedom is sweat and blood, freedom has a high price.” "It's strange but I have found happiness through winding and tiring roads, overcoming the greatest sorrows, I have overcome anger and pain through my passion for life, despite it all. I always tried to be like others and comply to common rules, but the paths of life have led me to be different, and I have always paid the price.”
