CH 1: Cosplay Adventure

COSPLAY

The first thing that I want to talk about is... Cosplay.

I'm not doing it so often, because is way too expensive, but back in the day I've used to do so many cosplay, so often, that since 2010 I've did 100 cosplay or maybe more.

I visited so many places all around Italy, because of cosplay and made so many friends.

I started in 2010, it was a sunny summer, and I started because I was (and I am still) obsessed with Fullmetal Alchemist,

My first cosplay was May Chang, and I was so happy to become her for one day. It was different from now, we were all young, happy and no one ever start a flame or something.

I kinda miss the old days (nostalgic theme)

I think that is an experience that changed me.

I think, I am still a very lonely person, but back then cosplay helped me to find new friends, because I was even lonelier.

I became more open, because, you know, the cosplay community is full of all kind of people, every nationality, every sex orientation, every disabilitation.

I've met some of my closest friends thanks to cosplay and I'm a bit sad that I had to leave this world.

But, you know, I'm not rich, so I can't spend all of my money in cosplay.

But I was happy.

Every piece of my heart was happy back then. 

Now I'm not sad or anything, but I was really happy.

I've started cosplay the first year of High School, it was an hard year, I was out of control, I was flunk and my grandma passed away.

But, my friends was with me and they start this journey with me, even if now we've been taking different streets, I will always thank them.

So, let's talk about something happier.

After 4 year spending a lot of money on the internet buying cosplay, I decided to start sewing them. I'm still terrible at that (Maybe I'll post the cosplay that I'm sewing for my next con) but I kinda love doing that...

Making the wigs, the accessories, all that stuff really makes me happy.

Even now, that I'm doing only 2 cosplay in a year, I'm so excited!

I think it's a wonderfull chance to explore new worlds and fall in love with thing that now are forgotten by the youth community.

Personally, I fell in love with the art of sewing, you can create something unique with fabric, you can made a beautiful costume with your own hands, and that's beautiful.

When my mum came home with my sewing machine, I was so happy that I was close to crying my eyes out! As I said, we're not a rich family, we can't afford the majority of thing that people have, but my mum save all the money she can, and buy me a cheap sewing machine, but it was my chance to express myself, and I was so happy.

I'll never forget what cosplay gave to me, never ever...
