Chapter 23: Young Heart

Young heart is hopeful. Optimistic. Always believing that one’s dreams are possible and will happen eventually, always expecting the greatest results.

Young heart is friendly and tender, not afraid to show fond feelings and willing to invest energy and time in those who deserve it. It’s loving and affectionate.


Young heart is giving and sharing all that is precious – from food to stories, from rooms to words of encouragement. It forms friendships, brotherhoods and sisterhoods and is loyal to everyone involved, no matter the differences and quirkiness.

Young heart is playful. Bright. Joyous. Full of fun and high spirits. Carefree and untroubled.

Young heart is curious. It’s eager to learn more every day. It’s interested in knowing and fascinated by unknown. It’s constantly trying new things. It experiments. It loves usual things with unusual twists (like eating yoghurt with pieces of cajun-seasoned pan-fried tilapia).

“Mmmm, yum!”

Young heart is fierce. Fearless. Bravely facing every danger. It’s restless and moving, always moving.

Young heart is helpful. It’s the happiest when it’s able to make things easier for someone, to ease someone’s discomfort, to contribute to something good.

Young heart is adventurous, courageous and bold. It knows that life is happening out there so it’s eager to explore and to experience the world, even when it’s risky.

Young heart is determined. It knows what it wants. Sometimes it wants questionable things. But young heart is always certain about them. Young heart has a plan.

Ladies and gentlemen! Heiress of this legacy, Melia Rossini, just reached young adulhood and that means the first generation is complete now and we are moving on to generation number 2!

Happy Birthday!

I wonder what kind of life she will lead and what it is that her young heart wish for. I guess Eira is thinking about it, too. But she is not worried.

Because for those with young hearts, fairytales can come true. She knows. It happened to her, after all.

“I did a great job.”
