When is <em>m<\/em>y time?<\/p>\n<p>Have you ever asked yourself these questions? I\u2019ll return to this.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In the past three weeks, I tried to write a new essay, but it was seemingly never the right time; I never seemed to be in the right place, or in the right state of mind. \u201cWhy is it taking me so long?\u201d I asked myself between a Tracy Anderson Master Class and nursing Catherine, between some obsessive online window shopping and making supper.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cIs it because I\u2019m tired?\u201d Catherine hasn\u2019t been sleeping well, and she is constantly hungry. I have been depressed and frustrated because of the obstacles breastfeeding, and I have been feeling overwhelmed by the new life as a mother.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I always tend to point the finger at multiple outside causes first, but I often realize that the answer is within, and that I have known it all along: it took me so long to sit down and write the new blog because what I had decided to talk about wasn\u2019t the right topic, or perhaps, it wasn\u2019t the right time for it.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll return to this.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe point of my keeping a notebook has never been, nor is it now, to have an accurate factual record of what I have been doing or thinking. That would be a different impulse entirely, an instinct for reality which I sometimes envy but do not possess.\u201d Joan Didion writes.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Where are my notes? Where is my notebook? I have started so many notebooks over the years that I don\u2019t even remember where I\u2019ve put them, much less what I wrote on their pages. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Why am I not taking notes?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>It took me two days of beating myself up for not being a \u201cgood\u201d writer like Joan Didion to realize that I do take notes, I share them here with you.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>This is my notebook.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>So what about <em>me<\/em>? When is <em>m<\/em>y time? Have you ever asked yourself these questions?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I have.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>These days much less frequently than I used to, but I still do. In search for the answer, I used to live run by jealousy and comparison, judgment and resentment.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>It was an ugly way of living, and I would never go back to that place, but from time to time those questions do come up still: when will finally be <em>my<\/em> time?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I used to look at <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Benmont_Tench\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ben<\/a>\u2019s career: he is gifted, of course, special, brilliant, but hadn\u2019t he been in the right place at the right time he would not have met Tom [Petty], and formed with him and Mike [Campbell] <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tom_Petty_and_the_Heartbreakers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers.<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tom_Petty_and_the_Heartbreakers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I looked at <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Stevie_Nicks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Stevie<\/a> [Nicks], too: she is without a doubt one of the greatest of our time, but would she have joined Fleetwood Mac hadn\u2019t she been with Lindsay [Buckingham] in that studio?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Today, however, I also look at some of my friends that never seemed to have been in the right place at the right time, whether personally or professionally. Should they keep waiting for their room on top of the world? Is there such thing as a room on top of the world? <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>What about <em>me<\/em>? When is <em>my<\/em> time?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Are these the questions I should ask?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>I want to say yes, but the answer is no.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>What is the right time? And right according to whom?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Two dear friends of mine had wanted kids their entire life; they tried for years, when the \u201cright time\u201d had come. But nothing happened. They both got pregnant in their 40s, respectively five and seven years after their idea of right time; today they are happy mothers of twins.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Upon such considerations, do I still \u201cknow\u201d what is right? I want to say yes, but the answer is no.<\/p>\n<p>8 years ago, I was in the wrong place, a horrible place.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>I was addicted to cocaine and Xanax, I drank, I cut myself, and I was bulimic. I was in an emotionally toxic relationship with another alcoholic, and I hurt profoundly those who loved me.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>I had a college degree, a job as a freelance translator that barely got me by, I lived with my parents (in my bedroom, I should say), and I wanted to die. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t remember exactly how it happened, but one day I was offered an interpreting job in Los Angeles for three days.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>I had nothing to lose, flew to California, did my job, and happened to fall in love with a man who somewhat kept me here, and who genuinely believed in me as a writer. The relationship didn\u2019t work, but thanks to him I kept writing, met Leonard Cohen, got a visa, got sober, and met my husband and father of my child, Ben.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Was I really in the wrong place with a blade on my wrists at my parents\u2019 house?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I am starting to think that what I often look for isn\u2019t really the right place, but rather the place I want to be in.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>And this isn\u2019t the first time I reach this conclusion; it is by taking notes, these notes that are different from Joan Didion\u2019s, that I keep learning. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Today, during my therapy session with Cei and Dr. W., among other things, I talked about the duality of my feelings as a new mother, the need for freedom but also the need to be needed by my daughter. Cei drew a Venn diagram for me: in one circle she wrote freedom, in the other she wrote breastfeeding, and in the middle she wrote AND. This isn\u2019t the first time two sides of me collide.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cThe center,\u201d Cei said, \u201cdoesn\u2019t have to be OR; you don\u2019t have to choose. The dual uniqueness you have since childhood doesn\u2019t have to be in a state of conflict.\u201d <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I thought about it; for years, in fact, I tried different costumes, tried to fit the missing piece of a puzzle that didn\u2019t belong to my picture, emulated voices \u2013 looked for wholeness, for the union of what has always been dual.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>When I hung up the phone, Skype, something that happened yesterday all of a sudden made sense: \u201cYou have always been double, since you were a teenager,\u201d my high school friend A. wrote me in a message.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>She wrote in Italian, of course, and I know the word \u201cdouble\u201d may not carry the same meaning in English \u2014 it denotes duality.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I had not talked to her in over ten years.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>We had been following each other on Instagram for a while, but never really connected other than for a few sporadic comment or \u201cLikes\u201d.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost people I care about are,\u201d she continued, \u201cthey have a dark depth from which they run away, but also where they can find refuge.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Do you believe in happenstances, or are they the sign that we are in the right place at the right time?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/IMG_4143-1.jpg?resize=300%2C225&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-6849\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" alt=\"right place\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/IMG_4143-1-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/IMG_4143-1-scaled.jpg?resize=600%2C450&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/IMG_4143-1-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/IMG_4143-1-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/IMG_4143-1-scaled.jpg?resize=150%2C113&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/IMG_4143-1-scaled.jpg?resize=1060%2C795&amp;ssl=1 1060w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/IMG_4143-1-scaled.jpg?resize=550%2C413&amp;ssl=1 550w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/IMG_4143-1-scaled.jpg?resize=667%2C500&amp;ssl=1 667w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/IMG_4143-1-scaled.jpg?resize=1920%2C1440&amp;ssl=1 1920w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/IMG_4143-1-scaled.jpg?resize=1440%2C1080&amp;ssl=1 1440w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/IMG_4143-1-scaled.jpg?w=2130&amp;ssl=1 2130w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\u201cThere are signs.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>People find them in the ordinary and in the extraordinary.
