B’day reflection

21/03/2024

One day we cry, another day we laugh.

That’s life.

One day we get tired of everything, and another day we understand that life is about detachment.

If you feel lonely, just understand that people and things come and go. We are here to enjoy and learn. Don’t worry about ends and disappointments. Every human is on their own journey and sometimes we get through their path to teach something to them. And vice versa.

I know some things hurt, but it’s necessary for our life and evolution.

So be patient and keep going with your goal. Everything will be fine in the end.

Childhood Memories

I'm feeling so nostalgic these days.

I was remembering about things that I usually used to do when I was a child. Like watching cartoons with my sister (Pingu, Totally Spies! or Três Espiãs Demais in portuguese, Seven Little Monsters or Os 7 monstrinhos and many others that at this time I can't remember.

And googling about these cartoons I noticed how simple these stories are and they still used to catch my attention. Watching the routine of a family of penguins or monsters used to be so nice and pleasant. I always laughed a lot. I can even remember my feeling of happiness watching these simple stories every day.

At that time I didn't need much to be happy. There wasn't social media to spend time watching someone else's life and comparing myself.

I usually used to enjoy my life, like playing dolls and working my wide imagination, learning to ride a bike with my dad... By the way, I can even remember the bike, that even had wheels. He pretended he was holding me and I used to believe, but the truth is that most of the time I was riding alone. That's how I learned to ride a bike. Very similar with life.

I've grown up believing that my father was always there to holding me back if I fall. Or my mother. And both always did it. Maybe that's why today I have too fear of life. I know that time has passed away and know I need to go through my path alone. Now there aren't more wheels on life's bicycle.

It's time to ride without fear.

“Can you remember who you were before the world told you who you should be?”

I'm just thinking about this quote by Charles Bukowski.

I saw this quote on instagram and I started to think about my life and who I am. My values, my priorities, my difficulties, my suffering.

How all of this things started?

Why do I think that way? I feel that my thoughts and opinions were never mine. And I've never made my own decisions.

Since I was born, they always take decisions for me. Family, social organizations, government, television, big companies.

I have so many questions that I can't answer and this get me exhausted.

I feel that everything is wrong.

The Importance of Values

Discovering my values...

1. Adventurous 2. Ambitious 3. Athletic (trying) 4. Beauty 5. Critical Thought 6. Discipline 7. Awareness 8. Inner Peace 9. Gratitude 10. Emotional Intelligence

Choose 5 from 10

Adventurous

Athletic

Awareness

Emotional Intelligence

Discipline

I chose 10 values from a list of more than 50 values. Then, among the 10 values, I chose 5.

These values represents what I value in my current life.

It is recommended to review our values every 6 months.

This helps us understand what we are doing wrong or what is distancing us from our goals.

The First Post / Welcome

Well, this is supposed to be the first post in the blog. I'm trying to write a good text about who I am. But the thing is that I haven't this answer. Every day we can discover something new about ourselves, every time we change our opinions about anything. We change our hair and our faces with plastic surgeries… We change our address, our friendships. We change everything every moment in our lifes. So, I don't know who am I. I only know my name and my age - which changes every year. What I can offer you is an invitation to explore this adventure with me. Who am I? Let's find out together.
