The story of Matteo
When I was young I always wanted to see my eyes in the mirror. I wanted to study the darkness of my pupil and I desired that it changed itself to become light blue or brown. Then while I was growing up the perceptionnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn of my needs was changing and the problem was no more the colour, but I wanted to do the same things of my schoolmates and friends but I couldn’t. So I tried and tried to do it without result. In the meanwhile my sight was decreasing and my cataract take the lead. I spent a lot of years to try following the behaviour of other people in order to please them just to feel normal. But what I understood in my journey is that I don’t wan’t to be normal. I want to be a super hero. I want to be as DareDevil. I want to help people like me to be happy with themselves, first of all, and then also with the other people. I want to help people to understand that if you look inside, going in-depth in your fears and trying to really understand what you want from life, how you can overcome obstacles and what is really valueable for you. I want to explain to everyone that even if you lose a sense or even if you soffer a limitation, there is always the way to break barriers, overcoming the obstacles and finding your way to go. You just need to be ready to look inside you to make questions and give answers that usually are complex also to understand,admitting your mistake and asking excuse for your errors.
My black eyes, and the way they showed me, teached me this important message and I want to share it with you because, especially today, you can find people that could tell you to leave the stage and to avoid difficult situations, but it’s proper this kind of things that will help you to grow.
