Time has taught me that there are bonds that are destined to exist, no matter the distance between them or the diversity, the fact is that it’s often those that seem to us to be impossible joints for a thousand reasons that turn out to be the best that life could ever have offered us.
Hello, this is me and these are my best friends and as you can imagine our magical interlocking happened precisely because of you, who knows if there will ever be enough time to thank you in person for this but in the meantime, we would like to do it here, between the pages of this project that I started and that would not exist without the support and collaboration of my friends.
We have known each other for a while but it was wonderful to find each other in so many things and then to discover that each of us was connected to you for different reasons but that we all had the same thing to thank you for and we confirm that at the end of the year it is still so.
There are so many things that can bring four people together but that thin thread that bears your name has always remained there, tied around our hearts and it’s the one who has pulled our friendship so far, the one who has carried us everywhere this year making us live some of the best experiences of our lives.
Venice 📍
These pictures contain the heart of five days in which you can't even imagine what we've been up against (thanks for the like anyway, day improved). We all agree, however, that we would do it all again tomorrow, 20 hours in a row under the sun to be able to go back to those moments. I always say that Venice is my home because somehow every year it’s able to leave something in my heart and this year it has given us so much. Being front row on the red carpet after last year when no one could approach and show you their support and Watching Bones&All in preview and in Sala Grande with you, Taylor and Luca was really a full circle moment. We shared Luca’s tears at the end because he’s what in Italian we will call “Maestro” and he deserved that standing ovation, indeed you all deserved it. Even if from a distance in the tender embrace you all exchanged in the room, we were there too.
London 📍
Here we go again, another premiere, another adventure. We can justify ourselves by saying first of all that we really wanted to see Bones&All again and continue to support the movie as much as possible, then we couldn’t wait to see each other again so here we are going around London with a Bones&All poster printed by us (we couldn’t find any so we decided to do our own promo), then again in the theater ready to see the movie (yes, again) and then last on is the red carpet (yes, we brought some tulips for you and Taylor I hope you got them). Completely different experience than Venice but just as magical, each of us would have something to tell you about it and I'm sure you'll read it in the next pages.. meanwhile thank you for stealing our cardboard with the tattoo you’ve drawn for us, we're still without it, lmao we love you anyway. (but we would love you more if had our tatto today lfhdsjh)
Milan 📍
Now we've run out of excuses, we came all the way to London from Italy so why would we skip Milan? As you might have guessed we like adventures and every moment is great to support you and spend time together, this experience was pure chaos but by now we are used to it and we almost like it that way. In the first picture it's always us around Milan doing what we do best by now: promo! And again in the second one the most beautiful moment of our evening, the one where Taylor said she felt at home because of our rather familiar faces, your happy and almost incredulous smile made us forget our usual thousand vicissitudes to get there. This time we brought you roses on which there were little cards, we hope you got and liked them, we wrote them from the heart.
As we come to the end of this journey you probably think we’re crazy (and you would have every reason to) the truth is that the end of this era seems almost like the end of our breathing time, when I said at the beginning that we all have the same thing to thank you for I was referring to this, to our togetherness, our experiences and our endless journeys that in a thousand ways pushed us out of our comfort zone, made us more determined, stronger, happier than we were before this all took shape. Bones&All in particular will always remain tied to our hearts, and not only for all these countless reasons, especially because we all saw an aspect of ourselves in Lee and Maren that allowed us to look inside ourselves honestly. Often in your recent interviews you have talked about connections, how difficult it is to find one's place in the world, one's people and I think I have found mine. All this is to tell you that at the root of so many adventures there’s great affection, great esteem and great admiration for you and your work, we are proud of who you are and how far you’ve come, and celebrating your achievements together with you can only make us happy. As written in your rose card we have grown with you, we have followed your steps from the beginning and we can't wait to see what's next, whatever it is we will be there, wait for us.
Happy birthday Timothée and to the next adventure.
We love you, your people: Alessia Stefania Rebecca and Asia. 🫀
PS: We bought you some gifts during these trips: A necklace (given to you in Venice), a hat (given to Brian in Venice) and a Ring (given to Brian) hope you’ll get to them (if you still haven’t) and like them. <3
