I didn\u2019t want the news to turn my smile into rage, so I played some music on Tidal \u2014 30 Seconds to Mars. I have been a fan of the band since they came out, in the late 1990s, but I hadn\u2019t listened to them for a while.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in the morning, I had played the song\u00a0<em>Hurrican<\/em>e for Ben, so in the car I listened to the entire album,\u00a0<em>This is War<\/em>. Music played loud, I changed freeways twice, and as I paid closer and closer attention to the lyrics, it struck me that, in my 20s, I could relate to words such as:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>\u201cHonest to God I will break your heart<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Tear you to pieces and rip you apart<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Honest to God I will break your heart\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><em>Night of the Hunter<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The weather was beautiful. California had finally bathed in summer, and probably because of the bright surroundings, and of the beautiful life I have today, I felt safe going back in time to when it was winter in Italy, but also to when it was summer that felt like winter inside.<\/p>\n<p>In the past, I had crushes on mostly wrong men. Throughout my formative years, and all the way through my early thirties, it was as if I had one task in life: finding boys who would break my heart and convincing myself I would be the one to change them, and make them &#8216;boyfriend material&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>How many of us have heard these words: \u201cI am sorry, I am not in the right place for a relationship; it\u2019s not you, it\u2019s me\u2026\u201d? And how many of us have interpreted them as: \u201cI am not in the right place, but with you this may change, you may be the one who saves me.\u201d?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>***<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In the past, I would also relate to words like:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Enemy of mine<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>I&#8217;ll fuck you like the devil<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Violent inside<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Beautiful and evil<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>I&#8217;m a ghost, you&#8217;re an angel<br \/>\nOne and the same<br \/>\nJust remains of an age\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><em>Stranger in a Strangers Land<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Most of my relationships, from the moment I started drinking and using drugs, have been permeated by abuse of some kind.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI think I have a problem with sex,\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I had told Diane, my therapist, a few days before.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cSomething went wrong at a certain point in my life, and I can\u2019t understand why it&#8217;s still affecting me now.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>We talked for an hour; she asked me questions, and with every answer a new piece of my past composed the picture that inspired this essay.<\/p>\n<p>My very first serious relationship, the man with whom I moved in after barely a month of dating, and the man I began to use cocaine with, had started with a sudden, &#8220;passionate love&#8221;. But it had soon become a golden cage I couldn\u2019t escape.<\/p>\n<p>He was\u00a0intense from the very first date, and I had misunderstood possession and arrogance for passion and self-confidence. His jealousy I had misunderstood for love, his wanting me to become a porn star in bed as fatal attraction. He introduced me to cocaine, that I loved from the very first line. I lost weight, I was high, and I could become whoever he wanted me to be.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_645\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-645\" style=\"width: 199px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-645 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/sin-city-alice-carbone.jpg?resize=199%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"change life and music changes with you\" width=\"199\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/sin-city-alice-carbone.jpg?resize=199%2C300&amp;ssl=1 199w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/sin-city-alice-carbone.jpg?w=340&amp;ssl=1 340w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 199px) 100vw, 199px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-645\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Credit: Giorgio Violino 2008<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Unlike most of my girlfriends, I had never been very popular with boys. I had always attributed it to being a little chubby, but whatever the case, when my boyfriend chose me, I thought I had finally arrived in life. I had found my way of being seen and considered special, approved. That\u2019s why it took me almost four years to leave him; because I was terrified of not being enough alone, and because his power over me had made me feel important, even if it hurt and humiliated me.<\/p>\n<p>Later in life, with more drugs, alcohol, and experience, things didn\u2019t change much. I fell deeply in love with a goodhearted man\u00a0who, like me,\u00a0was an alcoholic. Unlike me, however, he was absolutely unavailable (and obsessed with his ex). Needless to say he became my lifeline during those years.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike with my first boyfriend, this time I knew what I was doing, and I bought into the notion that the only way a man could love me and have sex with me, was if I became somebody I wasn\u2019t. So I drank more, I got high, and I played the part so many times that I couldn\u2019t remember what Alice looked like, what Alice liked, what Alice wanted.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_845\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-845\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-845 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Nirvana-Tee-Canters-Alice-Carbone.jpg?resize=300%2C199&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"change life and music changes with you\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Nirvana-Tee-Canters-Alice-Carbone.jpg?resize=300%2C199&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Nirvana-Tee-Canters-Alice-Carbone.jpg?resize=600%2C399&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Nirvana-Tee-Canters-Alice-Carbone.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-845\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Canter&#8217;s Photo shoot by Riccardo Monti, 2014<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/cheremoya-avenue\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">When I moved to Los Angeles<\/a>, and initial reason why I stayed in the Unites States, was another very unavailable man. I loved him so much that I went the farthest distance from myself in order to be with him. I was sober for most of the affair, this time. So it hurt more.<\/p>\n<p>Alice had gone missing.<\/p>\n<h4>How long did it take you to become you?<\/h4>\n<p>The reason why I quoted those songs is that, looking back, I am astonished at how much what resonates with me in life has changed: everything used to be black, dark, sexy, violent, extreme.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cOne day you\u2019ll like white,\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>my friend Dina once told me. I was newly sober, and for some reason we were talking about the color of her bed sheets; I had sworn by black and purple satin until the last of my days.<\/p>\n<h4>Today I have beautiful white bedsheets and a romantic-looking duvet in the shades of blue and turquoise that Ben and I bought in Big Sur.<\/h4>\n<p>When I met Ben, I didn\u2019t know what I liked. For years I had become and thought of myself an extreme, damaged and unhinged sex doll at men\u2019s disposal.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWhy am I afraid of being vulnerable with the one man who truly loves me?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I had asked Diane.<\/p>\n<p>And the answer to my question was to be found in the word\u00a0<em>vulnerable<\/em>. In fact, for fear of being humiliated or abandoned, authentic vulnerability had not been an option in my past relationships.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>***<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>I believe in nothing<br \/>\nNot the day and not the dark<br \/>\nI believe in nothing<br \/>\nBut the beating of our hearts\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jared_Leto\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jared Leto<\/a>sings in\u00a0<em>100 Suns<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s beautiful about music and songs is that they travel with us through time, and there will always be a verse that resonates with where we are at.<\/p>\n<p>When what resonated with me was about a broken heart, pain, and wild sex, I dreamed of romance and fairy tales. I never thought that I could have that, and I never thought that I could listen to a song like 100 Suns and think:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cOh my God, I have that, I have that man!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cYou were so brave talking to Diane about it,\u201d Ben said to me when I told him I was writing this essay. We had just had a beautiful dinner with our friends Cynthia and Jim, and my life couldn\u2019t be further away from the old darkness.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRather than brave,\u201d I said as I put away the delicious chocolate cake they had brought, \u201cI was tired of giving the past all the power.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Those relationships and patterns, in fact, still have shackles on me. I can\u2019t allow those ghosts to haunt my life; it wouldn\u2019t be fair to me, because I am worth all the happiness and freedom I can have, and it wouldn\u2019t be fair to Ben and Catherine.
