Yet, I was a very shy and introverted person, and quite socially awkward and isolated. On my last year of high school I began pushing myself out of my comfort zone and partecipated in some activities like theater, creative writing and public speaking. This was the bravest decision of my life and it would change its course. Slowly, I started getting used to going outside of my room and being surrounded by other people, something I was greatly struggling (and still do sometimes). I also met F which helped me a lot with my self confidence and isolation.

I also travelled by myself for the fist time: I went to Sicily several times, I still remember those days vividly, then to Florence for a performance and to Turin for the national final of the cybersecurity olimpiads. I graduated with top marks and I started writing my diary.

I continued my studies in Computer Science in Trento, in the beautiful Italian Alps.
