My Journey
Discover the story and philosophy behind my writing and drawings
Ciao, I'm Milena
enchantée, and I found myself in Wonderland... Well, I often tell myself that, because during my travels I've come to realize how beautiful are the ordinary moments.
I’m antevasin. An in-between. The one who lives by the border because renounces to the comfort of family life in order to seek enlightenment. And I decided to weave all of that into my work. But first, before that...
Some time ago, I finally took a leap of faith, left my soul-destroying, full-time marketing job, and wrapped everything in a wish to slow down, and unfold the life of a writer and artist in peaceful days. But over time, I realized I confused calm for stillness. And that doesn’t bring me joy either.
It turned out that balance is the answer.
-
A touch of organized simplicity and a lot of creative mess.
-
A few days in the city and plenty of time in nature.
-
A quiet chez-moi, a lot of adventurous travel far from home.
-
A little solitude to get work done, and plenty of time with cheerful friends all over the world. Perfetto!
But you know, I'm still figuring it out. It's the privilege of a lifetime – to become who you truly are. To see the world, things dangerous to come to. To see behind walls, draw closer to find eachother, and to feel. So that, at the end of your life, you can say: Non, je ne regrette rien. 🎶
Haha, as you may have noticed, I'm also a big movie nerd. And a dreamer. An (over)thinker. A reader. Someone who loves the sun, road trips, indie music, slow mornings, the mountains, Gandalf, mountains, cheese and pine trees.
Okay, I think I'll make myself a cup of coffee and accept the great adventure of being me. And whenever I come across something interesting along the way, I’ll write it down or draw it for you. If it brings me comfort, maybe it will bring you that too.
Bisou, bisou, M. ❤
