About looking at the positive side of things.

Linuu put a link to my blog in his blog. I know he did not put it out of love to the outcome of my leisure time, so I am a little bit embarassed. Lino malo. But anyway, this blog must go on. I am warning: I know perfectly well that my writings are not a piece of art. As stupid as this may sound, at my 25 years old I am still starting to get my own criteria in a bunch of things. For this reasons, I think that only my brother follows my daily inner struggles really interested, with patience and humor. Don't say I did not warn you.
Time to continue with my insomnia frenzy: I have been trying to use this electronic thing as a box and keep the things that I like, that make me happy or surprise me in some way. Hopefully, and if the Blogger lasts enough, I will be able to read what I thought at this age, the things that I enjoyed and that I was so privileged to see. Being here in Canada, on my own, surrounded by super-powered brains and my-resume-is-endless people, I have realized how much more I have to learn. So much that maybe a lifetime will not be enough.
But I have seen a bit of this world. Things that have hit me the most: contrasts between people,ideologies,intentions and motivations; how people are capable of being plainly mean, selfish,false or lazy, but also generous,devoted,warm and transparent.
Negative things about the galaxy, the world, my country and even my mother can be very true, but I will not let them come into my life or waste my time spreading them around because I don“t want to. I choose to bring into my life people that are well intentioned, that believe the simple rule of not doing unto others what we do not want done unto us.
To finish: Another thing that I do not want to forget. A thought by Emerson (If somebody has heard about him let me know).

To laugh often and much, to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children, to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends, to appreciate beauty, to find the best in othersm to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch...to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded!
