Day 162. We are beautiful

 "We are beautiful no matter what they say. Words won't bring us down. We are beautiful in every single way. Words can't bring us down, so don't you bring me down today."

    Today I watched "Romanians have talent". I truly believe they do and it's actually one of the reasons I want to stay in this country. One of the contestants was a girl with health problems (dwarfism) who sang "Beautiful" by Christina Aguilera. The whole moment was so powerful everybody shed a tear. While watching her sing I realized she was right. It really doesn't matter how we look like, the real deal is on the inside. But we keep forgetting that because society tries to make us want to lose weight and resemble those girls in the magazines, thus we're never satisfied with how we look and we're caught in the middle of wanting to eat a bar of chocolate and feeling guilty if we do because we have to look perfect. You know what, the only thing that matters is that "Too much is not good." So let's get rid of the "This is how we should look" idea and accept ourselves just the way we are, but most importantly, accept the others and try to get past our prejudices because they didn't want to be born this way. They're humans just like us and many times they're better than the rest of us. Let's open our eyes and learn.

Day 150. The thrill

   We're never satisfied for a long while. Even if we want something very much, after we receive it we enjoy it for some time, but then sooner or later boredom kicks in. 

   You won't settle down to wearing your whole life those jewels you just bought and you wouldn't want to spend the rest of your days watching tv shows no matter how much you want to do that now. At some point... you will be bored of it. And then you will want to feel the thrill again. You'll be looking for it in everything around you and that's going to be your next purpose in life because having everything you need doesn't necessarily involve being continuously satisfied. One day you'll want to feel the thrill again, just like me. And then you'll begin a restless journey and you won't stop until you'll find that moment, be it in doing something you haven't done for a long while or having a crush along with the characters of the book you're just reading. And after you find it you'll settle down for a while but then you'll want to begin another journey for life is a never ending series of moments when you felt the thrill. Those are the moments you'll want to share with your grandchildren. So, find the thrill and live it! Live it while you still can:)

Day 103. A Christmas to remember

   Every year I change the color of my Christmas tree. I like to play this little game and I already know what color  my NEXT year's tree is gonna be. But enough about future.

   I donno about you, but this year I invested in my Christmas tree. I have a brand new one and tons of ornaments and Christmas decorations (a lot of my salary went that way BUT I'm happy about it:D) and today I got to evaluate this year's idea: a Christmas tree in purple and gold:) All I can say after seeing the result is that I'm completely satisfied:) It actually exceeds my expectations! 
  I'm a kid all over again but in the same time I feel like a grown up always reasoning with the help of logic. I do love to decorate the Christmas tree but now it's not only about the magic of doing that, it's also about a competition with myself regarding how it's gonna look like and this involved a LOT of planning:) Maybe all this "being hired" thing has its saying:) 
   So theoretically this year's gonna be my first Christmas as a "grown up" since I started working. And I know for sure it's gonna be a Christmas to remember:)

P.S. Closer look of the tree because I know you wonder;)
