“My name is Martina Rimbaldo.I live and work in Croatia,a somewhat geographically small country located in central/ southreneast part of European continent right across the Italy, sharing the sea border of Adriatic.
My life story as well as my brother’s since we are twins,has began at the September 28th.

Since a very young todler age I felt very insecure ,withdrawn,shy and fearful. I felt very much separated from society,then the bulling started in kindergarden. Yes,sadly even the children of the age of four or five can be very cruel towards one another. It is a large tragedy of our society if you ask me . I remember one time the caretaker of us kids wanted to punish me by placing me in the corner for not playing with other kids and I have decided to approuch to every single child who was in the kindergarden at the time and ask if he /she wants to play with me ,or just pretend to play with me and everyone refused.
Hurt, I went to sit alone on a wooden bench. I have grabbed the first childrens book and I was pretending to read ,allthough I had no idea how to read yet. Once started ,the bulling has continuated troughout my whole life.I was bullied in school, again for four agonizing years.School felt like a bottomless pit of hell burning with the strongest flames Some time of my life I even conssider my name and lastname to be a synonymous for unfortune. You, probably thinking to yourself why am I telling you this,am I complaining? You might be feeling angry at me ,and in your mind you contemplate to simply stop reading this public lament of mine . Yes ,iI get it . But give me a chance the best still follows. I have learned some life lessons I wish to share and I discovered the beauty of art in my life.
I finally know why I exist it might be the reason of your existence as well. I would like to inspire the kids ,people who ever felt like me ever in their life,to bring them light and hope regardless of the circumstances they are in ,there is always a new down,never give up on yourself even if others did . If others never were there ,you be there for yourself. God will always be there on your side.Call put to Him ,and He will be there to help you . While I expirienced bulling I prayed every single day.Two hours in the morning ,two hours before bedtime -four hours all together.I pulled throught.
After a few years I found myself in high school. My life finally started to improve.I started my long journey of healing and self-discovery and I think it will last until I relase my last breath not just for myself but for every single human being on this planet Earth. On the path of journey one collects the best fruits , lessons that enrich your final goal. Nothing is ever in vain, everything has their own role ,even if it hurts.It is ok not to be aware of your dreams and talents at the younger age ,to some ,they come later on in life.It does not mean you are a failiure ,a loser.No one is. Young people today want to become influencers, YouTubers…While there is nothing wrong with it,not everyone can become like them. There is nothing wrong with being ordinary ,anonymous person ,who does not have a carear but a job ,everybody creates society ,not just famous,known ones.The most high Being knows you exist -God.Teenagers offten forget that famous figures, celebrities,are people like us,they are mortals like us. We do not need to make idols out of them .I also have some people I admire like, Rachel Joy Scott who was named ambasador of kindness.Kindness is very important quality individual must own and show to the society.It is the viacle of goodness and good doing a sawr that fights against evil and abuse.People, may be role models but not idols, there is a difference. In high school I met my best friend Marina. She opened the world of books ,liberies and poetry to me . Here I found my talents,writing poems,drawing,painting, reading ,taking photographs.
Art became my life,my heaven ,my nirvana.Art is a solution for caos,says one famous line . What is your solution? Sport,music,something else? You just need to discover.
Everything starts small so were my poems .
I started to write them down in a simple notebook. I found out there are pages , websites who look for artworks poems for publications so I have started to publish my artworks, poems, photographs in various literary magazines journals, websites ,forums. I found my identity in working on my art. It is my way to give myself away to other people. My first poem was published in Nightingale &Sparrow,Named “Playing with fire”. First publication of my photographs were also at Nightingale &Sparrow one was placed at the cover for their issue “Melody”. Since then I was published in magazines like :Bleached butterfly,blog of Royal Rose, Spillwords,Open arts forum,Museum of poetry,Anti-heroin chick,Swimm press,Streetlight press, Nightingale & Sparrow featured me in their multiple issues -Heat,Nevermore,Woodland,Melody.
Dark elements,Ponder Savant blog,The Kitchen Sink magazine,Oddball magazine,TrulyU,The Elixir,The Quarter review,Kvaka,Avlija, The Sage cigarette magazine, Poezija noći,Spilling ink, Spillwords,The California poppy times,The Stripes magazine,Wrongdoing magazine…. A few antologies. I was the cover starof an Indian magazine called Celebmania, where they also featured my artwork.I am also one of the ambassadors for one skincare creme products.
I am grateful for every magazine that gave me a chance to be their contributor ,of course I was not accepted every single time I send the material. Truth to be told,I was feeling the whole spectrum of negative emotions,and I still do, but I always have hope buried deep within me.
In the near furure, my wish is to publish my poetry book . No matter how hard,difficult your background was,there is always hope,life does get better in time ,but,you must put an efford to be so.One is forced to endure negative in order to gain positive,In Croatia we have a saying:”Without cross there is no altar”.Difficulties often create the most beautiful people.”
