the inevitable.

the wrong way: head towards Vatican City to try to find a cheap clothing store to replace the only two t-shirts you have which were ruined in the european washing machine.

the Wright way: via del corso. duh. And after you find the H&M, spending a total of 6,95, sit and sketch in a bar tranquillo with chestnuts and an espresso for two hours. Sometimes your order ends up being on the house [or maybe I'm just lucky].

Not a lot is ever concrete. Nothing is for sure, or lasts forever. This trip, the people around me, my concerns, everything. Eventually everything will disappear.
This sinking city, the streets, buildings, traditions, secret recipes, talent...

"Every time you see one of these high-end boutiques or chains sitting between these old walls, that's one more artisan who's had to close up shop."

One by one, all types of artists and their techniques are dying out from this city. They get old, and lacking any apprentice, pass on, time taking their lives and their amazing talents with them. Enjoy it now, kids.

On a lighter note, this also means that if things in this life are not everlasting- and there are no everlasting things, we can manipulate them as we want.
Everyone has something unshakable, unchangeable, but it is not true. Nothing is anchored down; you are constantly working at retention, or you are constantly changing.

Last move is always yours.
What can you do with that? Show me.
