Simona's World

First day at the new gym

Started at the gym in San Giovanni today.

It's smaller than Romano's place. More intimate. The clients are a mix of locals and people from surrounding neighborhoods.

I taught an afternoon class and it went well. The people responded to my teaching. We moved together. We breathed together.

It felt right.

Anneka met me after work. We walked through the neighborhood looking at the small restaurants and shops. She's already thinking about favorite places for us to go. Ways to claim this neighborhood as ours.

Everything feels possible right now.

I'm not going to overthink it. I'm just going to enjoy it.
