Emanuela♥(aka Mia!)

I'd like to meet:

I think that at some point in your life you'll meet that somebody, and you'll know that whatever you did before, whatever your life was before, it must have been right...nothing could've been too bad, or gone too far wrong because it LED YOU to THAT person.
"Do not go where the path may lead;
go instead where there is no path and leave a trail."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.
-Eleanor Roosevelt
"You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment. Fools stand on their island of opportunities and look toward another land. There is no other land; there is no other life but this." -Henry David Thoreau
"Hate the sin, not the sinner."
-Robbie Williams
"Your heart just breaks, that's all. But you can't judge, or point fingers. You just have to be lucky enough to find someone who appreciates you." -Audrey Hepburn

"I didn't lose my mind, it was mine to give away..."
-Robbie Williams: No Regrets
"Fidarsi e' bene, non fidarsi e' meglio."
"So you want a heart? You don't know how lucky you are not to have one. Hearts will never be practical until they are made unbreakable." -The Wizard of Oz.
"Success means having the courage, the determination, and the will to become the person you believe you were meant to be"
-George Sheehan
Reach high, for stars lie hidden in your soul. Dream deep, for every dream precedes the goal.

..............
Work like you don't need the money,
Love like you've never been hurt,
Dance like no one is watching.
..............

I would much rather have regrets about not doing what people said, than regretting not doing what my heart led me to and wondering what life had been like if I'd just been myself.
"Love is giving someone the ability to destroy you, but trusting them not to"

You Are A Lily
You are a nurturer and all around natural therapist.
People see you as their rock. And they are able to depend on you.
You are a soothing influence. You can make people feel better with a few words.
Your caring has more of an impact than even you realize. What Flower Are You?

"There is no feeling more comforting and consoling than knowing you are right next to the one you love."

.:COMES THE DAWN:.
After a while you learn
the subtle difference
between holding a hand
and changing a soul.
You learn that
love doesn't mean leaving,
company doesn't mean security,
and you learn that kisses aren't contracts.
You begin to accept your defeats,
with your head held high
and your eyes open,
with the grace of a woman
not the grief of a child.
And you learn to build all your roads on today,
because tomorrows ground
is too uncertain for plans,
and futures have a way of falling
in midflight.
After a while you learn
that even sunshine burns
if you get too much-
so you plant your own garden
and decorate your own soul
instead of waiting for someone
to bring you flowers.
And you learn
that you really can endure
that you really are strong
and you really do have worth...
and you learn and learn,
with every goodbye you learn.

Music:

I like to think since i play piano i'm musically smart haha Give me something with a beat and I'll listen to it - anything from Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin (I LOVE THEM) to hip hop/R&B, pop, or even System of a Down and Audioslave... I'm pretty easy to please...no country please - I'd rather watch paint dry :) Hey! At least I'm honest! lol
and i love Michael Buble.....

Movies:

i really like old movies with Jerry Lewis and Shirley Temple movies LOL.. but one of my all time favorites is "It Started in Naples" with Sofia Loren and Clark Gable. what a classic. I also love ANYTHING Adam Sandler, Billy Madison and the Wedding Singer and 50 First Dates are all pretty high up there too. Of course any chick flick will do as well as comedies...think Love Actually type movies :) Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is awesome too..
oh and we can't leave out My Big Fat Greek Wedding - why do I mention this movie you ask? Because my family is this movie - but Italian. I have 2 sets of aunts and uncles that live on the same block as me - and cousins that live within a 5 mile radius of my house lol... I have multiple cousins with the same name, and instead of going to greek school I was sent to italy for the summer as a kid. Sunday dinner and holidays consist of no less than 15 people (and that's just immediate family) and when we go out we are the loudest group in a restaurant.... and if my mom asks you if you want something to eat, it doesn't matter what your answer is, there's always going to be a plate of pasta sitting in front of you within 10 minutes of the question being asked... it's the way we are and I love it :)

Television:

Books:

My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult..actually any book by her...The Courtyard of Dreams by Anna Monardo, and of course The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks

Heroes:

My mom and dad - if you know them, then you know why.....and of course a hero to all good Italians - Rocky Balboa!! (
