Bio
I'm from Italy and write every day. Being a storyteller by nature, I've entertained (and annoyed) people with my "expositions" since I was a child, showing everyone my primitive drawings, doodles, and poems. Still do! Leave me a comment :)

Let the Bliss You Seek Find You Instead
Once upon a time, I suffered horribly. It was a kind of pain that held on and soon enough tightened that hold like a vise. When I spoke to my friends, they assumed my life was most enjoyable and desirable. I had it all, and in their eyes, what could possibly make me suffer? I wasn’t ill, my bones weren’t broken, and my brain wasn’t under the influence of drugs. I had a fantastic quality of living, a great career, a lovely girlfriend named Katrina, and living in the Bohemian part of town in NYC, Greenwich Village.

The Trouble With PTSD...and What I Did To Conquer It
I didn’t think I was affected by it. I thought I was too strong to allow it to get me down. I believed, foolishly, that only soldiers who saw battle or civilians who experienced psychosis were the only ones who would get it. Not me.
