ep. 2x10 we made it!

here we are back from the summer break (a bit late, but who gets to decide when summer ends) and so many things happened that i did not want to get into anything in detail but doing more of a list of things that we gotta talk about. So, here it is to you - a very vulnerable, exhausted and honest Margi trying to make a list of what the hell is happening in their life kinda going back to the real reason why this podcast started in the first place.

i know - such a JUICY title! i mean i have to start generating traffic to this thing so here we are. the reason why i have not been recording for 2 months is that i was having fun! i mean, really, i finally start feeling at home in Brussels and i took my time to explore da city and feel part of the queer community. which really brings us to the topic of this episode! i am meeting tons of cool people and with some of them i am creating real friendships. hoooowever, this episode is about a friendship/relationship (listen to the episode to understand the slash thing) that is not gonna happen AND about the relationships i have back in Italy and why i am scared AF of ruining everything. enjoy!

what-an-episode. okay, this might be the best episode i have ever recorded (after the one about olaf's feet). i really feel like i will ruin it by writing a description that does not really represent my words. let's just say it's a very honest insight on everything that i stand for: my identity, my values, my struggles and my aspirations (aka inclusivity, gender identity, mental health, accessibility, relationships, minority communities, and making the world a better place). 

Some podcasts interview scientists. Others interview celebrities. Others again interview authors, athletes, or politicians.  I interviewed what I believe to be the only person who listened to ALL the episodes on french fries or whatever. Oh, and she's definitely one of the best human beings I have ever met. Enjoy! 

well i guess the title is pretty clear, isn't it? your beloved fav podcaster has a long history of pretty bad anxiety due to their birthday but this year things are a bit different. we all have a limited amount of time of this planet and i wanna have some pretty good fun.

the answer is yes - i went to the emergency room less than one month after i moved to Brussels. it was quite an experience and def worth telling, although we there's a bit of a turn down at the end. ANYWAY, WHAT ELSE. i got a binder!!! if you know what it is then you will get how happy i am and how good i feel looking at myself at the mirror. for those of you who don't know what a binder is and why some people use it... LISTEN TO THE EPISODE. love y'all

hey my dear french fries, i have been noticing that lately my episodes have been very much focused on what was happening that i forgot to pay attention to what i was feeling. long story short, in this episode i give you a quick update of how my body wants to rest but my mind tricks me into thinking that i have to be anxious for every little thing about the future and be always awake and productive. let's see why.

happy news, my dear french fries. your fav podcaster finally found a lovely home in Brussels in the middle of the queer, young, vegan, (cheap-ish-er) neighbourhood of the city! and guess what, i am learning french (and you're gonna have a chance to listen to my amazing pronunciation in this episode!). our housemate is a lovely queer person from the UK (love the accent) that already brought us to a must-hang-out radio park place in Parc Royale. Oh, if someone has a job to offer me from September, please send me your vacancy! 

after testing positive for Covid right before leaving, here i am finally in the Netherlands... only for a few weeks tho! the plan is to move to Brussels and get on this new adventure as soon as possible. however, as in every good story, our hero (me) has to overcome some obstacles before reaching their ultimate goal and fulfil their destiny. will we be able to move to the heart of the EU diplomacy? i guess only french fries or whatever's fans will find out. 

today i thought about skipping recording the episode. there's too much going, i feel overwhelmed and i think that people should give their attention to something else than my podcast. but, french fries or whatever is a documentary of my 2022, and this week is probably going to be one of the most relevant weeks of 2022. here's a very quick reflection upon why Putin makes me vomit and why this conflict has more to do with emotions and self-reflection than we might think.
