I am not necessarily saying this is a good thing, but it surely is comfortable, safe, and familiar.<\/p>\n<p>Lately, because of how divided our country (and the world at large) is, it&#8217;s become increasingly difficult for us to have conversations about the differences of thought without completely eliminating those who think differently from us. When was the last time we asked someone simply &#8220;why&#8221; they &#8220;fill in the blank&#8221; a certain way?<\/p>\n<p>Asking &#8220;why&#8221;, in fact, sparks a conversation, perhaps an argument or a debate. But lack of sparks also means death, extinction, silence.<\/p>\n<p>A few months ago I asked my father:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Why do you think the way you do?&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It was political.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t want to change your mind,&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I told him.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;And I am not asking this so you ask my reasons,&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I added.<\/p>\n<p>I genuinely wanted to know the reasons behind his thinking and choices, in order to understand. Because real change can only happen through understanding.<\/p>\n<p>I still strongly disagree with most of his views, but the humility to ask &#8220;why&#8221; gave me (and him, I believe) some closure.<\/p>\n<p>I still think that some topics have no room for differences of thought. But as for others, we must find the space for the &#8220;in-between&#8221;, or we&#8217;ll have more and more difficulties not only traveling abroad, but also talking to our neighbors, going to work, starting spontaneous conversations with people we meet throughout the day, with strangers, with potential new friends. The world is becoming smaller and smaller, and not in a good way.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-8204\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.alicecarbone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tempImageiptlZL-300x225.jpg?resize=300%2C225\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tempImageiptlZL-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tempImageiptlZL-scaled.jpg?resize=600%2C450&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tempImageiptlZL-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tempImageiptlZL-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tempImageiptlZL-scaled.jpg?resize=150%2C113&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tempImageiptlZL-scaled.jpg?resize=1060%2C795&amp;ssl=1 1060w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tempImageiptlZL-scaled.jpg?resize=550%2C413&amp;ssl=1 550w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tempImageiptlZL-scaled.jpg?resize=667%2C500&amp;ssl=1 667w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tempImageiptlZL-scaled.jpg?resize=1920%2C1440&amp;ssl=1 1920w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tempImageiptlZL-scaled.jpg?resize=1440%2C1080&amp;ssl=1 1440w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tempImageiptlZL-scaled.jpg?w=2130&amp;ssl=1 2130w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>I left home very young, ready for the adventure, the challenge, the dream. I loved traveling. How have I become terrified of what&#8217;s different?<\/p>\n<p>I am sharing this worry because one of the things I love the most about our online community is that, even though we don&#8217;t agree on everything, we have not given up on each other; we meet weekly, we are growing, we are deepening our connection, we are learning from each other, and we are widening our horizons. And widening horizons doesn&#8217;t mean going against our beliefs, but rather enhancing our compassion, our curiosity, and ultimately creating real, genuine, and long-lasting change.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-8201\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.alicecarbone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tempImage0iHdiX-300x225.jpg?resize=300%2C225\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tempImage0iHdiX-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tempImage0iHdiX-scaled.jpg?resize=600%2C450&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tempImage0iHdiX-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tempImage0iHdiX-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tempImage0iHdiX-scaled.jpg?resize=150%2C113&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tempImage0iHdiX-scaled.jpg?resize=1060%2C795&amp;ssl=1 1060w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tempImage0iHdiX-scaled.jpg?resize=550%2C413&amp;ssl=1 550w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tempImage0iHdiX-scaled.jpg?resize=667%2C500&amp;ssl=1 667w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tempImage0iHdiX-scaled.jpg?resize=1920%2C1440&amp;ssl=1 1920w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tempImage0iHdiX-scaled.jpg?resize=1440%2C1080&amp;ssl=1 1440w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tempImage0iHdiX-scaled.jpg?w=2130&amp;ssl=1 2130w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Change can&#8217;t be preached. Change happens when we lead by example.<\/p>\n<p>I arrived in Avigliana, my hometown, on Sunday morning, and I have not yet adventured out much (also because as I am writing, on Tuesday afternoon, I have still not received my luggage. Also, this time around, jet lag is hitting me hard with depression). But when I am ready, and when I have my own clothes back, I have to be open to what is different. I can decide what my boundaries are, of course, what is not negotiable, what is, and what can be, maybe not now, but tomorrow, perhaps.<\/p>\n<p>If I don&#8217;t do that, I will build higher and higher walls of division that one day will stop making me feel safe; walls will weaken my ability and skill to not only survive in the current state of affairs, but actually thrive.<\/p>\n<p>At this point in my life, surviving is no longer enough.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">***<\/p>\n<p>A few updates:<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-8199\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.alicecarbone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tempImageVNGRja-300x167.jpg?resize=300%2C167\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"167\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tempImageVNGRja-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C167&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tempImageVNGRja-scaled.jpg?resize=600%2C333&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tempImageVNGRja-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C427&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tempImageVNGRja-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C569&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tempImageVNGRja-scaled.jpg?resize=150%2C83&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tempImageVNGRja-scaled.jpg?resize=1060%2C589&amp;ssl=1 1060w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tempImageVNGRja-scaled.jpg?resize=550%2C305&amp;ssl=1 550w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tempImageVNGRja-scaled.jpg?resize=900%2C500&amp;ssl=1 900w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tempImageVNGRja-scaled.jpg?resize=1920%2C1066&amp;ssl=1 1920w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tempImageVNGRja-scaled.jpg?resize=1945%2C1080&amp;ssl=1 1945w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tempImageVNGRja-scaled.jpg?w=1420&amp;ssl=1 1420w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tempImageVNGRja-scaled.jpg?w=2130&amp;ssl=1 2130w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>&#8211; I did my eyebrows and hair at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.striiike.com\/featheredbrow.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>Striiike<\/em><\/a> salon, in Los Angeles, and I am so happy with it.
