Day 267. Unchain my heart

   We're very sadistic. We like seeing people suffer. And most of all, we like seeing ourselves suffer. We chain our heart knowingly and then we complain about it and wish we were totally different persons. 

   We let them all come at us and destroy what we've built. We're weak. Small and weak. Naive and impressionable. Vulnerable and in need of affection. And we look for it everywhere. When, instead, we should be looking for it inside ourselves. 

   That's when we realize how to truly unchain ourselves and finally be free.

Day 257. Follow your heart but...

   ... take your brain with you!

   Sometimes following our heart involves a lot of risk taking and even bad decisions. But you can't convince the heart otherwise. 

   So, since you already decided, take the road and follow it closely. It might make you suffer, but at least you'll learn some valuable lessons. And next time you'll take the brain with you. Because, as much as you don't want to, it will always give you the heads up and prevent some major breakdowns. Or at least it will make you be aware of them. And yes, it'll be the one saying "I told you so". Still, you need it to get out of those breakdowns. And move on in one piece. Or two. 

Day 73. Lovestruck

   I looked up the title in the urban dictionary. It fits perfectly for how I felt today. Not related to a person, though. It's related to the amazing, beautiful clock in the picture above. I met "him" in a hypermarket here in my town and I fell in love with it. I knew I had to get it. The price was extremely convenient as well but then... I took a minute and I started thinking: "Where would I put it? It doesn't fit with the rest of my room. It doesn't necessarely fit in my office at the kindergarten. I don't have my own place yet... It would definitely fit in a romantic kitchen with lots of plants. Nevertheless, I don't own that kitchen yet." So I eventually decided I had to break up with the idea of purchasing the clock. I had regrets and I've been thinking about it ever since I left the store... I still really want to have it. I can't explain why. I just know I do... and one day I will have it.

   This happens to us all the time. Walking around window shopping and suddenly laying our eyes on something extraordinary. That's when we know we're lovestruck. And we can't rest until we buy that amazing thing. Do we really need it right then? Of course we don't. But something inside us is yelling: "That's ME, that's exactly what I would pick if I looked for that. I want it! I want it now!" And maybe there should't be any second thoughts because it's so rear the chance when you find something as extraordinary as that. Be it shoes, accesories, clothes, books, decorations, furniture or many other things. 

   If you take the decision to follow your brain instead of your heart, just like when you fall for a person, your heart won't rest until you get what you want. So, forget the brain and follow your heart. You probably won't find that particular thing when you'll be looking for it and having the chance of finding it all of a sudden, when you least expect... that gotta be destiny:)

Day 69. Home is where...

   ... your heart is:) We all know this saying. Today I thought about how important it is to be surrounded by your loved one, your family and your friends... that money, no matter how much it is, it will never make you as happy as being surrounded by love. 

   So, I choose love over money and this is my life quote:

"Nu bogăţia, ci liniştea colibei tale te face fericit." (Moara cu noroc - Ioan Slavici)

"It's not wealth but peace within your house that makes you happy." (Moara cu noroc - Ioan Slavici)
