School - Bullying Events

Good evening, my readers ;

After taking some time out to read and learn,
I have been thinking about some major events that happened during my teenage days:
Bullying, that is.
Specifically, through middle and high school and even, after that.

I decided to share with you some major events of my own life.
Note : I do not know if the ones I will write about in this post will ever come across this,
Yet, I will give it a shot.

I have had ups and downs through out my life.


Middle School :

Situation ONE 

There was a boy called Wilson.

He was suspended and out of school at the time.

I was inside of the school and he was off the of the limits of it.

He started to make fun of me (the same old names).

I stood still at first, and stared at him.

Then I walked closer towards him.

There was a big wall and a metal bars (grids?) separating both.

We started talking. I gave advise to him, in order for him to study somewhere else.

He thanked me and told me that "I was a good person, overall".

Situation TWO

(Years later) 

A group of three boys would torment me during the school time break.

(The same that on 9th grade insulted and nearly beaten me 

at a bus stop while waiting for the same bus as them)

After the conversation their teacher had with them...

Days later , they appologized to me. 

High School :

Situation THREE

Another Physical Ed. Class. 

I think it was that or I was made fun at, at the time.

I was sitting and crying on the bus.

This old lady hugged and told me "everything was going to be alright".

I didn't know her and she didn't knew me.

It meant the world to me and I will never forget that.

Situation FOUR

When I gained courage to enter a poetry contest.

My classmates knew about it, eventually.

They supported me and started to gain interest about my work, my writings.

The final result on the contest was first place and three books as an award.

Out of School :

Situation FIVE

At a Part Time Job.

I was leaving the building and heading towards the bus stop.

There, I found one of the persons that had made fun of me in the past.

He was completly diferent and happy to know that I had a job at the time.

With this , I want to bring a message of Hope to you

And guarantee that: 

" No matter how cloudy and stormy your day, your life is

That there will be better mornings and better moments ".

Respectfully.

​World - An Open Letter to PETA

Dearest,

I would like to share, today, the letter I sent to PETA on the past 20th January :

To PETA Organization, The PETA team and to whoever it may concern,

Good afternoon.

May I be known as Life, eventhough that is not my real name.

I was , shall we not say exactly a follower, but curious about your function in society and to the world. 

This is my first question regarding this Company. 

I am speaking not only on my own behalf but also seeking an honest answer, 

Probably as a considerable number of people in the World.

We all aim for the Truth and nothing more than that.

Does or does not this company euthanize animals? If so, why?

How do you actually help animals ?

Regards.

~ Life 

Admin of Life Blog.

Later on, the reply from PETA Staff : 

Dear Life,

Thank you for contacting PETA about euthanasia and our work 

to end the companion animal homelessness crisis. 

We are glad that you care.

and why we offer a euthanasia service, please visit the following links:

PETA is on the front lines in the battle against animal homelessness. 

Our field workers are on duty around the clock, and our emergency pager is always on. 

During hurricanes, snowstorms, heat waves, and cold snaps, 
we are out helping cats stuck in tree tops and drainage ditches, ducklings stranded in sewer pipes, 
and dogs left to die at the end of a chain —any animal who needs help, anytime and anywhere. 

Some of the animals we take in are lost companion animals
—we eventually reunite them with grateful guardians, while others are taken 
to local agencies where they will have a chance to be adopted. 

PETA helps guardians keep their animal companions by offering counseling tips, 

helping to find animal-friendly housing, and assisting in providing humane care. 

We do not run a traditional adoption facility; 

PETA is a shelter of last resort—the vast majority of the animals we accept are taken in specifically for euthanasia.We take responsibility for the animals nobody wants—the sick, the scarred and broken, the elderly, the aggressive and unsocialized, and the perfectly healthy ones who are thrown away like last year’s fad toy. 

We do everything in our power to help these animals. 

We treat their injuries if we can, we feed them, we love them with all our hearts, 

and we give them a safe place to rest, if that’s what they need. 

Sometimes they need the comfort of being put out of their misery—a painless release from a world in which they were abused and unwanted.

PETA is not alone in this work: Millions of homeless animals are euthanized in animal shelters and veterinary offices across America because of simple math: too many animals, not enough suitable homes. 

As many as 8 million animals flood U.S. animal shelters annually, and half must be euthanized. 

Even if those 8 million animals could be placed with loving families, 

there would be 8 million more the next year, and the year after that.

The answer lies in prevention. 

We must stop irresponsible guardians, backyard breeders, and puppy-millers who churn out litters without a thought as to where these helpless animals will go. 

PETA runs three mobile spay-and-neuter clinics, serving low-income residents in Virginia and North Carolina. 

The clinics offer free and low-cost sterilization surgeries as well as other services, such as flea and tick treatments, vaccinations, and deworming. 

Since starting our first mobile clinic in 2001, we have sterilized more than 87,000 animals, 

including more than 9,200 in the 2012 fiscal year alone.

You can help: 

Please go to https://secure.PETA.org/site/Advocacy?cmd=display&page=UserAction&id=2875 

to send a letter to your state’s governor asking him or her to make spaying and neutering mandatory statewide. Not only do they save lives, mandatory spay-and-neuter laws also make good fiscal sense: 

Taxpayers pay approximately $2 billion to house, 

euthanize, and dispose of unwanted dogs, cats, and other animals in the U.S. each year.

Finally, please know that a lot of the misleading and outright false rumors that are spread concerning our efforts are the work of the deceitfully named “Center for Consumer Freedom” (CCF), a front group for Philip Morris, Outback Steakhouse, KFC, cattle ranchers, and other animal exploiters who kill millions of animals every year—not out of compassion, but out of greed. To learn more about CCF—whose website USA Today said should be renamed “FatforProfit.com”—

We hope that this message has shed some light on our work.

Thanks again for writing and for your compassion for animals.

Sincerely,

The PETA Staff

http://www.PETA.org

Concluding, I decided to show you this letter, despite of the time that has passed;

The reason why is because I would like to share this with you 

In order to know your opinion on the matter... 

And bring awareness to the following situations :

a) The need to adopt animals whether it is a cat or dog.

b) The importance of being a volunteer.

c) Euthanasia

d) Mostly, how important is to take care of our pets.

Personally I have three cats. Love them to bits.
Their shelter is our house. They stay in the house, during the Winter
And during the Summer, (only sometimes) they stay at the balcony

Note : It has space, it is not too cold nor too warm , just mild temperature
And they have their own house, as well.
They were not adopted, but found
And welcomed with loving arms.
Each one with their own story and past.

Basically, 
We can all do something for these wonderful beings.

NOTE : I do not enjoy animal suffering, in any form.
On which I am against animal cruelty and any experiments.
My opinion does divide between being against Euthanasia or not , though.

Does any animal deserve to suffer?

And finally, does any animal deserve to have their life taken away?

Life´s Advice - Email Accounts

Good afternoon,

The topic for today is about Email Accounts.
As we know, email accounts are very important nowadays,
Considering such, I have decided to create a post regarding this.

There are many email providers where you can create an email account at, 
Some which are known and some aren't as much
It is up to you to decide which one to pick according to your own needs
(Index or space, environmental impact, free or paid)

I shall leave and list some links/email providers, below :

GMX (Free)

It isn't exactly a email provider, it is a valuable tool to comunicate and make phone calls internacionally. It has only a username.)

There might be other domains and services.
We can always add more.
Feel free to comment if you do.

Regards.

Life´s Advice - Acceptance

Good evening , my readers ;

How are you today?
I hope you had a wonderful day, yesterday ! :D
The following post is based on some conversations that I had some days ago.

They made me meditate and consider about some points :

Such as what is needed and what we can do in order to accept others.
We should and we can start off by teaching our younger generations
Our sons, daugthers, brothers, sisters and all the remaining generations.
Thinking that we aren't a active element in our society is something that must end.

Personally, about this particular matter,
I believe that everyone needs to accept that... :

A) Life is only ours to live.
Friends and family and people around can give advice
But every final decision and choice is yours.
People ought to be either happy for you, accept your decision
Or even, at least, support you.

"There are times when we have to walk on our own
Times when we have to learn how to fly
And spread our wings".

B) We all are equal and have the right to be happy
No matter which sexual orientation we have.
Again, when we think, act and love freely
Life does seem less troubled and seems to smile for you,
(Sometimes, it really does!)
Don't you agree?

C) Everyone is unique.
We can try to talk , convince, give advice but we cannot change them.
Trying to change someone is like making them go against their own nature...
Except when we wish to someone to change/erase a bad habit
(smoking, violence or drinking habits, for example)
And when we wish that friend, family member or special someone
The best.

D) Being Tolerant
I may be mixing several subjects , yet, to be tolerant
We must learn to understand and look into our own "self"
Accept the best and the worse in us.
Then, accept that no man nor woman is perfect.

The idea and ideal of someone "perfect" can be pricey
Because, as someone wise once said :
"You may be losing diamonds while you were busy collecting stones".

This is also a process
And a journey of inner growth and maturity.

By accepting people around us...

We will feel calm, not stressed
Your mind will feel at ease
Because you won't be feeding hatred,
Nor allowing space for negativity to enter.

God bless you all  ! 

Single's and Valentine's Day

Good Morning , dearest.

I know I wrote this post a bit early...

14th of February is a special day, isn't it?

You can choose do go out with your soulmate
OR if you do not have your better half, make it your "Single Day"
A day specially dedicated to you !

In this day you can... 

- "Pamper" yourself by going out to have lunch or dinner somewhere new ;

- Change your looks by painting your nails or toe nails, doing a face or hair mask
Or if you are a boy/ man you can play bowling/sports or go out with friends.

- Start reading or finish reading that book on the shelf.

- Save a little time during your day to have a hot water bubble bath .

- See or rent that movie you have been waiting to watch for ages !
(You can watch alone, with your family or with friends)
Or just watch a movie or serie on TV and get some pop-corns.

- Light up some candles, incense sticks or melt some solid essence...

- Invite other single (or not) friends over to play board games.
For example : Scrabble , Pictionary , Monopoly, Risk, Cluedo,
OR other games (online or not) such as Halo or sports.
Or play a "Question and Answer" game such as
"Who wants to be a Millionaire",

You can play plenty of online games here.

- Go to a gym, practice or try an activity that you may like.

- Go to a museum (at certain days it can be free or cheaper) or to a Zoo.

- You can also try and to the nearest amusement/theme parks around .

- You or your better half can prepare breakfast 
Or choose to prepare chocolate and fruit or cheese fondue after lunch ;
NOTE - I shall post links to those games in case I find them.

Reminder : You do not need a special someone in every phase of your life and existence.
Sometimes, all we need is to raise our self esteem and love for ourselves.

Wishing a great Valentine's Day (or Single's Day) to everyone,
And to my own. :)

God bless you ALL !


 

Relationships - The Heart or the looks?

Greetings everyone!
What you prefer? The heart OR the looks?

The looks may please the sight, during the first times, it is...
But what about the Heart?

NOTE: I wrote the title letter on purpose, on that one.

I aim to make people think and debate.
(Not only in this post, but that is my intention on every post of Life Blog)

(As in, a healthy discution about values.
The Heart is the most important aspect when you are either looking for someone
Or stablishing a romantic (or not) type of relationship).

NOTE: This is only my point of view.

A) Judging someone by their looks alone is not fair.
You may be losing a great "to be" friend or better half by looking at their "outter shell".
Their outside is just a shell. Inside, lies a greater treasure, the Soul, the Heart.

B) We will age...

No matter what we do and no matter how many beauty products we use.

That is the Truth. Might as long enjoy life the way it is.

Might as well, welcome wrinkles and all the positive 

and least positive things aging brings along.

What if the person is younger than you? Or older?

Who defines age gaps in relationship?

Age, for me, is a number. And if the person really (trully) loves you,

He/she will wait, will respect you and not make pressure in the relationship.

If he/she does such. he/she is not worth the waiting nor the effort.

C) Looks might trick you. Hearts can too...

I know...Can someone with bad intentions trick you forever?

I don't think so. Sooner or later, the truth will come to surface.

I believe that we have to embrace and accept ourselves 

The way we are. And others, as well.

Looks are again, as I previously said, the outer shell

The cover of the book. Decieving? Sometimes.

D) Falling in love on first sight.

May happen. May not happen.

That is, most possibly, attraction at first sight.

Knowing the person first and knowing that person well,

Is required.

Otherwise you will be leading yourself 

Into a possible mistake and/or misunderstanding within your heart.

Why?

+ Because you can create high or false expectations towards someone

And without knowing him/her properly, you may end up dissapointed.

+ Advice is to know the person well before trusting in first place

Otherwise, you may regret so OR "pay a high price".

Let everything flow naturally. 

+ Careful with the ideal of a "perfect person"

We may be fooled by the picture we create in our minds and at heart

Specially when we try at all costs 

that the "picture perfect" type of person we created

Matches the person we are seeing or are with in a relationship...

It may lead, again, to dissapointment.

+ Dreadful lies?

Little lies may look unharmful but if there is one lie after the other, after another

How do we know and mostly, how can we be sure there is a bigger lie beneath?

Atention to whom you trust and be always aware. 

Note that nobody is perfect and we ought to accept others

And see the other person the way , 

She/he IS. And not the way we want to see them.

Bottom Line : You do not need a sculptural man or woman.
You do not need someone who is beautiful on the outside.
What will it help you with when any aspect in the relationship gets rough?

Look into the heart.
I, for example, met a really amazing being
Who I share my life with.

If I were to look into that young man
To his outter shell only
I know that I would have lost a significant person in my life,

Who, allow me to say it, I love the most.

Life´s Advice - Aiming for Causes

Good morning, my readers.

For tueday's topic, I chose one particular subject
On which I have been dedicating myself to.
We all can make a diference.

My advices to feel weightless and help others as well (and yourself)

1. We cannot feel sorry for ourselves nor feel "pity". 
It is the worst thing we can do for ourselves. 

2. If we give out optimistic, positive atitudes
And show LOVE in our actions, we can and will make a diference !
(The mirror effect I spoke about, some posts before).


3. Before you dedicate yourself  to embrace causes
You need to cleanse yourself as a first step...
I shall leave a link, here is one as an example :

Aura Cleansing

Because we need to let go of everything that has caused us 
And still causes us harm.
People. Situations. Circunstances. Regrets. Ressentment.
Bitterness.

I may even reach this subject a lot, often. 
But I insist on such as it is a very important point and lesson to learn.
The sooner you do so, the sooner you will open your heart 
To new experiences and to your personal and inner renovation.

4. Another mistake people make is to put the blame exclusively on others.
That is wrong. You will be feeding a monster within you, 
Eventhough it may look easier, at first sight...

We must learn to forgive and let go... The fault may be ours as well, due to keeping our same old habits.
How will we expect to change, if everything else remains the same?

5. After cleansing,
Which Cause will you support?

Environment and Animals :

You can start by becoming an e-activist at websites like Greenpeace, PETA or HSI.
I searched for the website in English, yet, 
I believe PETA or Greenpeace have representatives in some countries.

Note - *If you have possessions, you can donate.
However, make sure to read and search about the companies before doing so*.

You can become a volunteer at your local animal shelter or support local causes.

People such as Elderly, Children ... 

You can click every day, for free.
The Hunger Site

If you have a social network site, you can "Like" We Day.
They give out one dollar per like.


You can: 

- Become a volunteer at a Hospital, Daycare or Firefighters.

- Help your local library ;

- Write articles for the school Newspaper 

- Join your school theatre group.

- Start a petition or sign a petition ;

- Organize debates or events ;

- If you have a social network site, you can "Like" We Day.
They give out one dollar per like.



Depending of your personality, 

You have plenty of causes you can join !

Will you make part ?

Relationships - Perfect?

Good evening my readers

I have been thinking this, looking at today.
So, the subject that I chose today is Relationships.
(Excuse me for the delay on posting)

Are they perfect or they can be perfect?

I leave this question for you to think and consider upon.

My opinion regarding this, is to first of all think of your relationships.
Whether of the past or current one.
Past relationships are just that : PAST.
But are a valuable lesson if you think about what went wrong, what went right
And what must or can be improved.

Now, my answer...

• There is no such thing as perfect relationship.

To be in a relationship, is to be and face commitment.
Otherwise, what is the point?

Note.: I have nothing against other types of relationships such as short term relationships
Which are based "on knowing eachother".
To know each other, you can start off by being friends,
Then build a strong and trusting friendship as a solid foundation.

A relationship, without it, may (at times) collapse.

• More than a boyfriend or girlfriend you need a person who is there for you. 

And on this point I mean both persons, as a couple.
Otherwise there is the risk of the relationship to become "one-sided".

• Comunication

About everything and nothing!
It is beautiful and healthy to talk about the daily basis,
culture, hobbies, movies, common interests.
People eventually grow old and
what is left is conversation and being there for eachother.

Comunication is also VERY important to solve things while going through bad moments.

• Trust

It is another important part and piece.

• It is not about remaining the same.

People change and their goals change as well.

Being taken or commited is also about accepting one another

The way he/she is. And adapting eachother to one another...

It is about both persons giving without always expecting in return.

It is about doing an effort, it is about surprising your better half.

• Bottom Line: 

There are no perfect relationships nor perfect persons, 

There are persons making an effort

And fighting for everything to work out.

Peace be with you!

Life´s Advice - Psychotherapy and Tools

Good evening, everyone !

I have been asked, even more than just once if I have knowledge
And/or if I am connected to Psychology.
I shall leave that for other people to evaluate.

But then, when time passes
The answer will be left at open.

I have learnt much while studying during my course
And mostly, thanks to life itself.
It can bring many,many lessons along,
IF we are willing to learn.

It is a long process
And I am going to be completly honest :
There will be times of joy, there will be sadness and frustration.
There will be tears, there will be times of exhaustion
And when you stop and look behind, you will realize
" I have achieved so much, I have changed ! "

It will be worth it and it is.
Psycotherapy was a really valuable tool and taught me many things
And still does. It is helpful because:

A) It boosts your self confidence.

B) Helps you with expressing your feelings towards someone else.
Note : Again, it will take take time .
Maybe you will feel and create empathy towards your psychologist at the first time,
Or later or even with someone else, later on.

C) Psychotherapy is where you can talk about what is troubling you
There, you can about just nothing, anything, everything.
However, if you feel like holding back, maybe you haven't created that bond
That empathy with the professional yet. It will require time, trust me.
Amongst four professionals I created a strong therapeutical bond with the first and last one.
When that happens you will feel like nothing is too difficult to tell.

It might be difficult to start if you think that that person is a stranger.
Think of it like this " I AM HERE ONLY TO GET BETTER "
And this one person IS going to HELP 
A special and unique human being : ME (YOU) "

D) Helps your thoughts...
Often, whilst a person is depressed or stressed
He or she may have difficulty in organizing his/her thoughts
And its organization.

Therapy CAN and will help you stablish goals
Then priorities, then time to do so.
As in a "TO DO LIST"

QUESTIONS : 
What do I / Aim for and wish ? 
When can I do ? When will it be?

Note : 
What - Objectives.
When - Stablishes time to accomplish and/or complete those tasks.
(When...) Will it be? - an expression which is clearly set for the future.

Another step :
First we can start off by writing down our personal goals
The ones that come to head and mind at the very start
Then others, and so on...
Afterwards you shall divide everything in two lists

Personal Goals and Professional Goals
And, yet opcional, you can also create another blank paper sheet
By the name of Dreams and Aspirations.
We all deserve so and should dream.
May those be a flame and a MOTIVATION
for you to always, always keep you head high
and have a constant motivation.

My motivation is connected to what I have achieved
Along with waking up alive every morning
Having health and keeping in mind that my work
And/or course will take me somewhere, will be useful
Or even, that I shall gain anything with them.

So, after reading this , what is your motivation?

P.S.: Feel free to comment or follow our facebook page at

God bless*

Self Injury - Being Clean

Good afternoon.
How are you??
I have been clean for quite some time.
Months, I have been cut free.
With success, I am free

Over 8 months, maybe, just to have a glimpse of time.
I hope you are okay and that if it is your case,
That you find your pathway to recovery.

I shall be here and help you if you need so , too.

My testimony is out there... 
Read it if it can be of help.
Self Injury can be a result of Depression condition,
Or even,
A condition itself which camuflages other problems happening
with the person who is suffering :

For example,

As a result of family issues, bullying, relationship problems, eating disorders.
It can be linked or hand to hand to any of those,
As a way of copying or even, punishing oneself.
It is estimated that many have hurt themselves

Thousands, maybe millions of people, in certain points
Of their lifes.

Where to find help?

World - Animal Cruelty

Good afternoon, everyone.
I was to write, some time ago, this post.

However, I thought about learning and study more about
This subject at hand, which some may disagree, about.

But we need to be aware and look around us.
Do you have a pet? (for example a guinea pigs, hamsters, mice, ...)
Look into its eyes. 
What can you see? What could you see? What could you read?
Could you ever hurt him/her or harm her?

If your answer was "no", then please think twice.
Many animals are hurt, harmed and even killed in animal testings

Starting of by them being closed being bars.
Some go through almost hell and are submitted to severe conditions.
(I shall spare the readers or followers from images as they are quite shocking...
However, I posted some videos below which can and might be shocking
As well, so, again , viewers discretion is adviced.

SO I ASK : Do they deserve this?

PETA stands for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.

I shall leave a video about PETA's work in the Year of 2012.
Eventhough I am not physically present, I deeply respect, support and admire
the work and cause of this Association.


So... here it is PETA's work in the Year of 2012 :




And below, there is a second video about "60 seconds...Farming Factory"
Found in this article : PETA Archive - Why are these people crying

NOTE !
VIEWERS DISCRETION IS ADVICED...!



Please think about them too...
(In another post I shall approach the Cosmetic Industry
And other Brands on this matter).

NOTE : I do respect whether people eat or not meat.
It is their choice, their lifestype, their options, overall.
Yet we have to STOP! the unnecessary violence and cruelty
That exists and that is happening at slaughterhouses.
After all, animals cannot communicate the same way as we can
Nor defend themselves.

So someone out there must do so for them.
Please spread the word, if you can.

NOTE : I shall write more about this subject in other posts.


Peace be with you...

Social - Being Underestimated

Good evening fellow readers,
The subject for today is about
Being Underestimated .

It is a very important subject on which I felt the urge of writing about...
As some persons might have been or are experiencing this in their lives (at certain point).

Let NO ONE ever take your dignity away
Nor put in cause your value.

And even if you get/are stuck by any comment
I know and I am sure that none of those is made out of truth
But instead, made out of either envy , jealousy or from persons
That want no good for you. Hear nothing of that.


"No weapon formed against me shall prosper" 
(DMX - Lord, Give me a Sign)

-- I heard this lyrics of a song, yet it is a useful quote
In this situation. Do not allow anyone to bring you down.

Instead, keep focusing of your goals :
Surprise them, amaze them with your abilities...

I remember when I was bullied in highschool...
I wasn't as good as my classmates in Physical Education Classes.
I started to write as a coping method.

Then I learned my strongest subjects : Language (PT) and English.
While I was made fun about in one part,
I shall say that I surprised my classmates
When I was able to get good grades on the two subjects I was keen on.

If I made it through School, you can make it through as well.
It can be applied to other areas of life, for example any type of relationship.

Bottom line is :
Do not allow anyone to bring you down
In any circunstances...

And even if you feel down or weaker,
Please pick up your weapons and remain fighting.
Reveal the warrior in you

Because you are stronger than you can imagine.
You are a wonderful human being...

Anything that happens
Hold onto us.
Bring me your troubles and insecurities
and I shall do the best to help.

We shall never underestimate
Because we know your value! 
Take care.

Life´s Advice - Gratitude

A blessed weekend to everyone out there!
Being Grateful.
I chose this topic
As it is a subject very related to me

And , personally,
I believe we may go through this
At a certain in our lives,

We either learn or not to be grateful 
We either choose or not to practice 
Gratitude In OUR lives. 

Practicing gratitude in... 
Each and everytime you breathe a gasp of air... 

Each time you wake up in the morning, 

Each time you are alive, 

Each time you have health (even if it is a little bit) 

To carry through the day, 

Each time you have food on the table, 

Each time you have a place to sleep, 

Each time you have someone to love, 

(Whether is a family member, your better half or good friends) 

So... Practice Gratitude, as many times as you can,
Every day and even when you feel upset or sad.
It is not about what you wish to have or about what you want to have and don't have

It is about what you already have 
Even the slightest, most simple things 
AND TO BE THANKFUL FOR THEM. 
Blessed be*

World - Spent Game

Good afternoon , dearest readers.

During common holidays, I took some time to read and see many interesting articles

And also, think about my own experiences a bit now and then.

I saw this game called "Spent",

Which reflects the reality of (maybe) several families in America.

The chalenge for today is getting through the month.

It is meant to create awareness regarding Poverty and Unemployement.

Can you do it?

Life´s Advice - Inner Weights and Trauma

Good morning!
Woke up rather early, here.
My chosen topic for today is about weight.

As in, emotional weight caused by trauma,
 Significant events and/or fear.

The advice I leave to follow from this day on is to Change and Let Go.
By personal experience, I was stuck in this certain time of my life
Seventeen and eighteen years old, to be exact.

I didn't know what I exactly holding onto, to be honest.
Was it the trauma? pain? addiction? bitterness?
lack of forgiveness? nostalgy? sorrow?

1. The first step is to recognize that a problem exists. 
If you feel that you are heavy hearted by any reason above;
It is time to act and react towards what is leaving you
in that state of either apathy or deep pain.

The weight is there... 
- When it holds you back from being yourself. 

- When it stops you from doing what you used to, 

- Taking along with one or many things that you used to enjoy 

- Whenever you procrastinate.  

- Whenever you let go either by disbelief, 

- Either by guilt...sorrow...sadness... 

What could have happened, 
What could have been, 
What would have been, What could be done. 

It may seem little, but all together carry serious consequences.
By letting go all of that,
You shall feel less heavy on that matter.

And fear? It only is a monster if you allow it to become so.
And it becomes a monster when you you give importance to it
Whenever you drink it, like a poison Whenever you carry it, as heavy luggage.
So please, let go... I shall be here to assist you.

Prayer - Awakening

Awaken, child.
We need your voice.
Mother Earth is suffering.
Awaken...open your eyes.
Believe NO more lies.

(I thought of nothing
My mind just let go, all the words came along...)

We are paying the price for our ultimate and present actions
We are hurting ourselves, our brothers, our ancesters.
Unite. Rise. Peacefully, each and one, awaken.
The Heart. The Mind. The Spirit.

Who will we follow or feed?
Our Guiding Angels or Our Inner Demons?

From scratch and very beginning, we are (bright) lights
You have the ability to change and help the ones around you.
Yet many come along to persuade you and make you doubt
Manipulating your thoughts and purpose.
Darkness, that is.

But, my beloveds, you are light from the start.
You can choose, turn things around.
You matter. Always did, and always do.
You are light, from the start.

Depression - Detox and Embracing

Good morning,  everyone.
Besides talking and writing about advices for your life and daily basis subjects,
Today I decided to share a diferent aproach
Regarding Depression.

Along with this aproach I will add another subject,
Parcially related to Depression which is Detox(ing).
So, here we go :

A. Everything happens for a reason
This is not just a phrase.
Everything DOES happen for a reason.
And things will eventually work out the best way for you.

B. Depression is NOT a lifetime sentence.
After plenty of time reading articles
and having gained knowledge and awareness about this condition,

- I learned that "it" is not a lifetime sentence
It is a condition, as many others, and it must be treated as such.
You are not condemned because you are facing mental illness.
Face it as another phase of your life.
Face it as you were staring it in the eyes,
As an illness that can be diagnosed and treated.
IT WILL PASS!

- It has a cure, but it all starts in YOU as well.
Friends can be a great support as well.
Avoid being alone when you feel down.

- I fell many times in this mistake
(So it applied to myself too)
Change the thinking pattern.

Change the type of music you listen to,
Specially when you feel heartbroken, sad, upset or angry.
Those emotions tend to attract you to songs
Which reflect those negative emotions.
By having those emotions reflected, they won't be gone
Nor cleansed, instead, they will still be there.

We want to reverse the pattern, that vicious cycle.
And we CAN do so.

C. We can also Detox by getting rid of objects,
pictures or dirt at the space/place we spend most time in.
Starting from our bedroom.

Then our computer...
- By cleaning the files, trashbin and uninstalling programmes you no longer use.
- By defragmenting your CPU and cleaning your disc ;
- By selecting, organizing and cleaning your email inbox ;

Then, the living room. And so on.
Everything will feel better and, impressively, lighter!

Heavy burdens have to go.

As we say, at least in my language

It is something like this :

New Year, New Life !

GOD BLESS YOU ALL... !

World - Shooting in Newtown

Good afternoon , dear readers...

Today (and these last days) I have been thinking through.
Which is why I sincerely took some time for myself...
And then, to write this post.

I have to ask : 
What leads someone (to carry and) shoot a gun
Towards his own mother, 20 innocent children, 5 teachers,
Then, put an end to his own life??

This tragedy occured in Newtown, USA in 14th of December
At Sandy Hook Elementary School.

Even thought this happened, it must carry a lesson.
It MUST say something to people... that something IS WRONG!
People must act and react in order to prevent these type of tragedies.
WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING.
Not only about School Shootings...

But also about murders, accidents, terrorism, trageries DONE by human hand
Blood spilled, precious lives lost
ALL DONE by human hands...

WHY??

Rest in Peace, little angels.

Besides these young lives...the shooter has took the lives of teachers,
Who were, as the students, just doing their jobs...
Some even sacrificed themselves in order to save their students...

   Rest in peace...

We must start acting for a change now, today...

Seize the Day - Life´s Advice

Good afternoon !

Seize the day.
Cherish it as there was no tomorrow.
Respect your elders.
Pay attention to your family.
Love them.

Before it is too late because you will never know what can happen in the future.
Never regret, carry no malice towards yourself or others.
Leave nothing to say and try not to carry anger towards anyone.

God bless.



Lyrics :
Open the gates and seize the day
Don't be afraid and don't delay
Nothing can break us
No one can make us
Give our rights away
Arise and seize the day 

Now is the time to seize the day
Send out the call and join the fray 

Wrongs will be righted
If we're united 

Let us seize the day 

Friends of the friendless, seize the day
Raise up the torch and light the way
Proud and defiant
We'll slay the giant
Let us seize the day 

Neighbor to neighbor
Father to son
One for all and all for one 

Open the gates and seize the day
Don't be afraid and don't delay
Nothing can break us
No one can make us
Give our rights away 

Neighbor to neighbor
Father to son
One for all and all for one
