I am in a hard situation so please bear with me and writing this post that doesn't provide anything useful.

I just broke up with my girlfriend of 6 years who I loved to death due to different life goals and plans. I am shattered and I am sad.

I grew up as a fan of the Italian national team. I always sided for them. I never really watched club football until 2007/08 because younger me didn't grasp the concept of clubs. But then there was the CL campaign and Roma went against Man United in their black third kit. I thought "I never liked Manchester United, so Roma it is". De Rossi missed the penalty and I was ablaze for Roma. Bought the third kit the same evening online.

Ever since I've been a Romanista. My dad teaches Latin and I followed him on many a school trip to Rome. Each time, it wasn't even up to discussion – going to the Olimpico was predetermined. My first match, I stood at Curva Nord because I figured, maybe people were chanting there and there was no chance to go to Curva Sud. I had a blast. Many games would follow. I didn't always follow Roma like I do now, but they were always in my heart.

I love Rome. It's like a second home to me. I love everything about it. And when I'm there and go to the stadium, when I stand up to hold my scarf high and sing with everyone else, I feel like I'm part of a family. People I don't know, but love nevertheless because we're all in this beautiful, eternal city represented by eleven man on a pitch. I shout until my voice is dead for this club because it has given me something I could never find in my own country. It has given me a sense of pride that does not go away, least of all when we lose. It does not change anything. I'm pissed as you all are. But that banner on my balcony does not waver. It stays there. The shirt I'm wearing come after-work or sports stays the same beautiful red. And my smile and shaking head when someone mocks Roma stays the same. "Roma per sempre" I say because I know that the next time I'll be standing in Curva Sud will be the exact same. I'll have fun. I'll sing. I'll feel at home and part of something bigger.

This city, this club has given me so, so much the last years I cannot even find the words to describe it. So please, don't hold a grudge for trying in this most difficult hour of my life.

Because it is unico grande amore I need right now.

FORZA ROMA!!!
