Day 304. Same old lesson

   Did you ever wonder why you're going through the same situations again and again? Did you ever wonder "Why me?" "Why now?" "Why again?" The answer to all those is:

   It's hard to realize that you didn't learn your lesson the previous time. And it's even harder to admit you have to go through it all over again and somehow find the right skills in order to pass the test. But don't worry, that's why you have friends around:) Remember, all fairy tale heroes had their helpers and that's how they succeeded:) 

   One more thing! Don't worry if you fail again cos...

Day 303. Bonding

   I'm a people person. I easily become friends with children, teenagers, adults, elders, animals, plants aaand insects. It comes easily to me because I like spreading love and learning things about the others:) 

   I'm usually a happy person. Yeah, I worry a lot and I tend to suffer very easily. But it's only because I involve with all I am. I don't know differently. But I know that everything happens for a reason as much as I know that meeting this beautiful, particular butterfly was fate. 

   And I learned that bonding makes me happy, that when you give you receive much more than you have given:) So, happy giving:)

Day 302. Stuck... or not

   We all have our addictions. We're so used to them that they become part of who we are and we don't even think if they're good or bad for us. We just have them cos they make our life prettier... for some reason. 

   There comes a moment in our life when we somehow discover that some of those addictions are actually bad for our existence. And we realize that we have to, you know, say our goodbyes and move on without them. But we're not mentally prepared to "break up" with them all of a sudden. Nobody expects that, anyway. 

   The thing is that after a while of not living with those bad addictions we have a moment of enlightenment. The moment when we realize that we can live without them just as well, that we don't really need to spend our money or time on them and that our life can be just as pretty as it used to. 

   So that's the moment when we wake up from our oblivion and start seeing us for who we really are: strong and powerful human beings who can live life without being addicted to something. 

   Sure, we'll miss the bittersweet feeling of eating the forbidden fruit, but we all know we're better off without it. So put on your best smile and move along:)

Day 301. All by myself

   We fly in flocks and we're born to do it, but in some cases there comes a moment when we need to figure out if we chose the right flock. Because lately the birds aren't flying next to us, but next to any other bird in the flock. And we're the ones being left behind, the ones who try to understand how that happened and always find an unrealistic explanation for it. Then is when we need to figure it out: was that flock the right one for us or did we just want to belong to it more than we actually did? 

   We all know we shouldn't change for others so we just have to admit that it's the wrong time and the wrong place for us to be. In the end all that's left is understanding that...

   Moving on solo until we find the right flock. That's right. The one that will want us there as much as we want it. Until then, breathe in, breathe out and hope. 

Day 300. Relax, take it easy

   I donno about you, but I love it when I know there's nothing in my schedule for the day and I can do whatever floats my boat without having to work or be somewhere. Well, whenever something unplanned comes up in a previously free day, I become a little storm in a glass. That is, when I have to do something work related and I must depend on people... like today. 
   It's like my brain is eagerly waiting for a proper moment to be stressed about something and it gets in turbo mode every time that moment happens, saying something like "omg, omg, omg, let's solve this asap so you can go back to doing nothing again". I guess it's right, but the feeling it gives me is totally wrong. 

   So, after stressing out at first, I tried to take it step by step. I solved my part of the deal and then told myself I should chill until the others do their own:) Although at first I felt like the day has passed me by and I did nothing at all the whole day, after I started relaxing I realized I still had time to study for the exam and read a good book. 

   So my lesson for today is: 

"The shortest way to do many things is to do 

only one thing at a time."

Day 299. Whatever makes you happy

   I love motivational quotes. Yeah, I'm one of "those" people who share them on Facebook. So today I received a pretty awesome list of "Twelve Habits of Happy, Healthy People" that had a lot of "Do whatever you want" among the 12 ones:) And I loved that. Though, I'd change it into "Do whatever makes you happy". Of course, as long as you don't hurt anybody:) 

   Today my best friend saved me from studying for the exam and we went out to do what always makes us the happiest: had a yummy pizza together and then we fooled around taking photos and talking a lot about everything like we always do:) I donno about you, but every time I'm hanging with my best friend she makes my day:) 

   So honey, YOU were and always will be one of the reasons that make me happy. Thank You!:)

Day 298. I've got sand in my shoes

   You know those moments when you wanna go places and enjoy life but your daily routine always occurs and you don't? Today I beat that. I got out of the loop and went to a place I used to visit back when I was in second year of faculty, studying for my exams. 

   Oh, this afternoon was perfect! The golden sand, the mild sun, the flowing river, the willow moving in the wind, the feeling of peace that embraced you while you were laying barefoot on the sand. And then there was him. The reason I smile, the reason I love, the reason I am myself and I'm not afraid of it. It felt like time stood still and I just entered another loop. The one where I'm perpetually happy and at peace with myself and the world. I need to go back there again. It's one of those places where I belong:)
