			<description><![CDATA[The people with whom I could have a different relationship , and with whom , however, for some reason it did not go well. [...] In this world, due to the circumstances in which I met them , between them and me things have not worked in any way. But I feel , I'm sure that somewhere, in a world of deep and far, on a beautiful shore, we smile , we offer kindness , and spend happy times together . (from Memories of a dead end)”]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I quote Banana Yoshimoto's words that at this moment I fully agree. “ In any case, happiness is always around the corner : happiness comes suddenly , regardless of the situation and circumstances , so as to seem ruthless [...] . It is unpredictable as are the waves and the weather. Miracles are always waiting , without distinction to none. (from Memories of a dead end) The only thing that seems sure is that the body and mind of the people receive and transmit much more information than the people themselves do not think . This coloring mysterious sometimes scares me , because it gives me the feeling of being completely exposed , sometimes comforts me and shakes my heart. (from The Sound of Silence , in The body knows everything ) Close my eyes and I acknowledge my world [...] . Then dedicate a prayer to all the people who at some point have moved away from me.]]></description>
