NAPLES IN MY MIND
Me so arricreat
There are moments when you feel something inside you opening up, filling up, expanding.
In Neapolitan, to describe this feeling we say: “Me so arricreat” .
It's like when, after a busy day, you sit down at the table with the people you love, the scent of the sea wafting to your nose, and a plate of authentic flavors in front of you.
You don't need anything else, because you've already filled your soul with those small, big things that make up real life.
Me so arricreat isn't just a phrase, it's a way of saying that you've been regenerated, that your heart has found peace in the simple beauty of Neapolitan everyday life.
That's why when someone asks you how you're doing and you reply, "I'm feeling great," you're telling a bigger story: that of a moment of pure fulfillment, which makes you feel alive and grateful.
Here's how to use it:
If someone asks you how you are, and inside you feel that fullness, that calm that comes from simple things, answer with a sincere smile:
“Me so arricreat.”
So you tell without words that your soul is filled, that you are at peace, that you are experiencing a true, all-Neapolitan moment.
