Nowadays our status quo is our job, the fame, our possessions, the clothes we wear, the image we have of ourselves to fit us in a consumerist society. We reject everything that is unknown to us or our littleness makes us believe, we surround ourselves with judgemental ideas, prejudices, we love the deifying of our ‘self’. Our ego inflames itself when we say that we work hard, we say that we have no time for anything but we overwork to finally buy more, to display more and we live less not enjoying  life in its fullness.

I lost myself between the heavy lines of traffic and the song playing on the radio. The rain triggered me to pull away from myself and everything else around. In the middle of the stop light and the go signal, where I am challenged to go deeper into something else. In the meadows of what if’s and what’s.

The scope of the reason is the questions and the doubt, and it is in this abysm that I have the strength for truth, therefore, it is part of it, the truth is plurality, light and doubt. The custom of full assurance is the scepter of idiots… Saturating the opinions, positions and prejudices, debug … Continue reading You have to experience yourself

At night, when I can’t sleep, I tell the stars about your absence and the pain it causes in my chest. I tell the moon you are as gorgeous as her and that I can’t understand why we are apart… so far away. When I’m on a walk I tell the trees the little things I noticed about you, like every leaf is another detail that makes me love you even more. On rainy days I look outside of the window and imagine you could love me with the same endurance as the water drops that fall down and get up … Continue reading At night …

Waste Your Time With Jealousy: It’s a useless emotion that disintegrates everything it touches.  Know that there is enough to go around and one having does not mean the others will have not. If you’re with someone who is trustworthy, trust them.  If you’re not, it’s time to reevaluate your relationship. Stay In and Cry Over Someone Who Isn’t Crying Over You: We only have so many days and nights in our lives and while you might not want to go out or spend time with friends, it’s the best way to move on and create some fun new memories (and possibly … Continue reading 10 things you should never do…
