A world lives in you.

The pictures in this album depict some of the unseen yet so candid emotions of human beings in various parts of this wretched planet. We prefer calling it the world. But isn’t it a hypothesis after all???

My favorite too, since my personal childhood supports the idea. Each of my parents worked at that for us, because their own was not the case.

Ci sono momenti di
sofferenza o tristezza
o giornate come
pugnalate al cuore.
Quando hai questi
momenti, prova
a bussare alla
porta del mio cuore.
La mia vita e il mio cuore
sono sempre aperti
per te.
Queste orecchie
possono ascoltare
qualsiasi cosa in ogni
momento.
Anche questi occhi hanno
accumulato tante lacrime
per piangere con te.
Quando sei gioioso
non c’è bisogno di
parlare, io lo capisco
vedendo il tuo viso.
Invece quando senti
tristezza, solitudine
o voglia di allontanarti,
parla con me di tutte
queste cose.
Io carico sulle mie spalle
la metà del peso della
tua sofferenza.
Andiamo avanti insieme.
Questa è la nostra strada
fino a quanto continuerà
la nostra amicizia.
