Parallel Universe

Hello everyone. Today I am stopping by to leave some beautiful words to finish this complicated year. To bring love and joy. Hope you all enjoy it. Hugs, Taly.

In a parallel world, you are here, sleeping next to me, and I kiss your eyes. I am no longer afraid of loneliness because you exist, and you share yourself with me. In a parallel world, you are here, you wake up and tell me “I love you”, squeezing my hands tightly as if gently sliding the “never leave” that we fantasize since the movies told us what love was like, especially yours. In a parallel world, we get up to make toast and toast burns because we hang ourselves laughing. In a parallel world, your laugh is beautiful and constant, and mine is less loud and ramshackle.
I don’t know if justice exists in that parallel world, or if God helps those who get up early. I don’t know what music is in fashion, if butterflies live there for more than one day, I just don’t know. And I do not care. In that parallel world I am stupid for you and I do not feel guilty that you are the sun that all my dreams revolve around. I don’t know what planet we live on or if there are others. I do not care. And if Copernicus listens to me, he kills me, but why do I want Saturn if your hug is enough for me.
In a parallel world, you are here, yelling at me our differences and it fascinates us not to be alike at all. Your mom adores me, and your dad has flaws. We travel a lot, we make love, we burn our toasts again.
In a parallel world, you are here, and death is far away. We have children, and they have your soul and spirit. I love you with sanity, because I learned to love.
In a parallel world, you are here. Since in this one, you are a thousand miles away.

While COVID is keeping most of us at home these days, people like Dr. Anthony Fauci go to work each morning with one goal: to see our nation through the most devastating pandemic in a century, I am glad that the National Italian American Foundation is honoring his lifetime of commitment to public service during their 45th Anniversary Virtual Gala. We are fortunate to have Dr. Fauci’s leadership and guidance during these historically challenging times.

I congratulate him and I hope everyone will be safe and well.

David Dobrik Links Up With Leo For Second Voter Registration Contest

David Dobrik shattered records with his first-ever campaign for Headcount — a national, nonpartisan nonprofit that promotes voter registration — whereupon the 24-year-old YouTube luminary gave away five Teslas in a sweepstakes that asked participants to check their voting status and register. That campaign saw over 100,000 new voters registrations in 24 hours — and ultimately clocked a total of 120,000 registrations — making it the largest such endeavor in Headcount’s history.

Now, Dobrik — who counts 72.6 million followers across all platforms, is teaming up with Oscar winner Leonardo DiCaprio on a second initiative that will offer participants the opportunity to spend a day in Los Angeles with Dobrik and DiCaprio (after the coronavirus pandemic subsides, of course).

In order to enter, participants must download Outvote, and then text five friends through the app — which syncs users’ contacts and furnishes them with a script containing the appropriate outreach — before 5 pm ET on Nov. 3. In addition to the grand prize, if participants text more than 50 contacts, they are eligible to receive a phone call from Dobrik himself.

The latest campaign, like its predecessor, was designed by Metro Creative — the sister agency of Metro Public Relations — and is being conducted in partnership with Global Citizen as part of Headcount’s #GoodToVote campaign. #GoodToVote, which was the brainchild of YouTube exec Ben Relles, is a creator-focused initiative that has tapped the likes of Jack DouglassAlisha MarieDeStorm Power, and Rebecca Black to take on various challenges — like shaving off their beards or previewing exclusive content — as an incentive to get viewers to register.
