I went to Rome last week from 20th to 24th September, with my friend and business partner Rupin who is a dating coach to film content, work on my confidence, also helped coach a client.
I grew a lot and learnt a lot during my 5 days there. Also manifested visiting a lot of places I dreamed of including the Colosseum, Pantheon and Roman Forum.
Having explored Rome, the ancient ruins, interacted with Italian people I can say the "Rome is the city of love, not Paris".
Lots of cool things happened during the my trip:
- Got to go inside Pantheon and see the beautiful interior with mosaics and the massive dome ceiling. Was really great seeing this nearly 2000 year old building still standing and being used.
- Visiting the Colosseum. When I went inside I felt like I was travelling back in time to Rome. Also, realisation I'm actually here, I'm manifested this.
- Going to the Trevi fountain, throwing a coin and making a wish.
- A spontaneous date: Rupin pushed me to approach a woman sitting at the restaurant having pizza. I went up to her, had a conversation, asked what she thought of the pizza, then she offered me some pizza and I ended sitting down with her and connecting. Then I spent the next few hours exploring Rome with her and then had some gelato.
- I was sitting by myself at the Pantheon, I heard a big family sitting next me speaking in filipino. I asked if they are filipino, then they said yes. They were on vacation. We had a nice conversation, and they liked me and and the father ended up setting me up and with their daughter (26) haha, and she asked for my instagram and we are texting now.
- Got to see my friend Rupin interact and flirt with women. Also, helped him film his "proposal" to a woman he met at the hostel we were at lol.
- Got to cook pasta from scratch at the hostel with the help of our Italian friend. It was so simple and delicious. Just pasta, tomatoes, garlic, olive oil and basil.
The biggest I would say is I learnt to love myself more and I feel more confident from within. I learnt an important lesson that you can't shame yourself to confidence, you can only love yourself so much it results in confidence.
After coming back from Rome, I had a session with , and told her I wanted to have confidence like my friend Rupin and be outgoing. I still felt like I was not confident and social enough. During the session, I ended up go back to Rome in my mind and saw the colosseum, and heard the music from gladiator playing, about the gladiators being free, and then I was now free too. Also, I became aware about why I also felt stuck, it's because I didn't love myself as I am.
