Exactly Where You Need to Be

Jun 28, 2025

A love letter to the summer, to becoming who you are, and to trusting the woman you’re still becoming.

Hello my beautiful Adult Ballet Sparkle!

Italian summers… I love them.

The heat, the sweaty backs, and those little kiosks along the road where watermelons float in tanks of cool water.

Verona feels both deeply familiar and strangely unknown.
It brings me back to childhood in flashes, bike rides, cicadas, the scent of dust and jasmine.
But at the same time, I feel like a stranger.
Not attached to much.
Except my family.

Sometimes life takes you places you never expected…
And then you realise you built this.
Every choice, every move, every step was yours.

And looking back, I can proudly say:
Well done, girl.

People ask me all the time:
If you could go back, what would you tell your younger self?

And my answer is always the same:

You are exactly where you need to be.
Do what you’ve gotta do.
Be wild. Be kind. Be you.
Make mistakes.
Doubt yourself.
It’s all part of it.

I wouldn’t change a thing.

Because every decision led me to the woman I am now.

Today, I want to ask you something.

When you look at your life right now… what’s one part of you that deserves more trust?

Write about it. Whisper it to yourself.
Even just acknowledge it as you sip your coffee, or tea if you prefer.

It matters.

Love,
Alessia 💕

P.S. If your body’s craving movement, I’d suggest this class today: elegant, powerful and grounding, just like this letter.
