Descubre la majestuosidad invernal del Akita, un símbolo de fuerza serena y lealtad inquebrantable. Envolviéndose en la tranquilidad de su reino nevado, este noble guardián se para firme, irradiando una calma que solo la naturaleza puede inspirar. Cada huella en la nieve cuenta una historia de aventuras silenciosas y compañerismo fiel. Mientras el mundo a su alrededor se sumerge en el silencio del invierno, el Akita nos recuerda el valor de la paz interior y la belleza de los momentos contemplativos. 🌨️🐾

Ficar sóbrio é uma verdadeira merda.

I believe that life is chaotic, a jumble of accidents, ambitions, misconceptions, bold intentions, lazy happenstances, and unintended consequences, yet I also believe that there are connections that illuminate our world, revealing its endless mystery and wonder.- David Maraniss • • • #mysterious #mystery #mysteriousworld #lifeisamystery #mist #fog #winter #heartofwinter #winterphotography #winterylandscape #winterlandscape #mysteriousphotography #beautiful #beautifulnature #beautifulnaturephotography #naturephotography #alleenopdewereld #allalone #landscape #landscapephotography #skyscape #skyporn #fogscape #contrastphotography #sunset #eveningsky #winterseve #wintersky #shotoniphone #iphonephoto (bij Stiphoutse Bossen) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKV09zjs_lZ/?igshid=1b9nm2yz7bb86

I don't really know how to start anything like this, so let's just go with:

I've finally finished something I've been working for most of the summer – and it's a thing I myself use to call "Encyclopedia".

It's been a long time (since 2004, actually)  that I've been working on my fantasy story. It takes place in a different universe so I have to keep in mind thousand little details that tend to disappear from my attention when I need them. I finally understood that when I was editing  first seven chapters of my first book – it took me several months and a lot of paper. I tried to use different notebooks but that didn't fit me as I really wanted. Then some videos about DIY stuff came across and I finally decided to give it a try and make a notebook myself.

First of all I colored some papers but that resulted in such a mess that I had to redo this step. Bookbinding went pretty well but then I messed up with calculations and had to remake the cover. The next step was one of the hardest because I literally can't draw: sometimes I even think that I have an anti-talent for drawing. But I've always wanted to learn how to do this. As a result I spent a week or so to paint a picture on the cover with acrylics. In the end I covered it all with a transparent oilcloth.

Now I have a 400 pages huge notebook to fill it with everything I need – and I guess I'll start to do that alongside with the editing (because for certain reasons I have to do this once again).

To summarize all this:

If you ever feel the urge to do something you've never tried before: DO IT.

It will be hard – without any doubt – but it's the only way how to learn and how to get what you want.

Apart from all this I would to like to mention why I chose this landscape and colours, and all of that...

It is August, and as many of us know – August is like a summer's evening.

I am in love with spring –  I was born in spring and I'm restoring every time when everything around starts to bloom, when mild winds return and when birds start to sing early in the morning.

August is like a lyrical farewell to world breathing with greenness and warmness, and a long-lasting daylight.

I've always associated the story I'm writing with a spring, thaw and early morning – but the very beginning of this adventure starts in the middle of August.

That's why in some way part of my heart belongs to this time of the year – and I have frustrated feelings while letting it go, but at least I'm doing it with my "encyclopedia" in my arms, that must be filled.

So I guess – no time for sadness.

🌸"When an almond tree became covered with blossoms in the heart of winter, all the trees around it began to jeer. [...] 'Forgive me, my sisters,' said the tree. 'I swear I did not want to blossom, but suddenly I felt a warm springtime breeze in my heart."🌸 ~ Nikos Kazantzakis #almondtrees #blossoms #heartofwinter 💙☁❄

You can run all you want, we just gon' see how far you can get
Fans want me to do features with their favorite rappers that'd be the best
Look, all of them know exactly who I am, but they don't give me no respect
Cause the problem is they don't fuck with me, everybody see me as a threat
Yeah yeah, I know this sounds like some fresh air
If you don't hear me right use your left ear
I want to say that I'm the next up
I want it last year, they said next year
I want it this year, they say not yet
But I'ma take it from whoever got next
Twin deuce-deuces, I'm Clyde Drexler
What is competition, who gon' die next?
Get dissected in the lab with pliers, pencils, and a razor with my initials
Get stabbed by the guy who sent you
I'ma sign and send you the pollution of our environmental
I'm a giant pistol, you're a kung fu guy it's simple You gon' lead by my example
I'm a flying missile that connected to a DNA sign on the side your temple and fried your mental
Someone call 911 cause they gon' die when I'm finished
I'll probably get locked up for life, what the fuck you thinkin'?
My whole life I been too fuckin' patient
Give me respect before I fuckin' take it
I know you see me don't duck your faces
You see me mentioned on publications
Then you get sour and suck your face in
Pay for this stick since you love to taste it
Better swallow the shit, don't you fuckin' waste it 💯🔥❄️🌊 #Views #Peace #Serenity #Seclusion #Skyline #Lake #Ice #Frozen #Snow #LakeTahoe #WinterBlues #HeartOfWinter #Blessings #Photography #DNA #Cold #IssaVibe #Vibes #Throwbacks #California #WestCoast #JsOnMyFeet #Paradise #Warpath #Bars #Atmosphere #DontForgetToPray #instamood #instalove #instawarpath

Luz

Esses dias estava conversando com alguém e entramos no assunto sobre termos alguém pra recorrer em meio ao sofrimento e a dor e ali naquele momento eu percebi que eu não tenho essa pessoa ao mesmo tempo que sou essa pessoa pra tantos,e acho que nunca me senti tão solitário ao fazer essa contestação,as pessoas me buscam quando precisam de uma conversa,um apoio ou uma palavra amiga,eu sou sempre a luz pras pessoas mas ninguém que chega pra ser a minha luz realmente fica ou realmente quer ficar,é só passageiro e uma frase que ouvi anos atrás me vem na lembrança “O guardião protege a todos,mas quem protege o guardião ?” e no fim talvez seja isso mesmo,eu sou aquele que vai suportar e carregar toda dor até que enfim o descanso virá.
