Calzedonia

I love all seasons but Autumn has got to be one of my favourites because the world seems to transform into a much cozier place with all the leaves falling from the trees and turning into beautiful yellow, red and brown shades, the days getting smaller and the nights longer... Everything about Autumn seems to be perfect!

Amongst the many things I love about this beautiful season there's one very special thing that I particularly always look foward when this time of year comes and that is Calzedonia adverts.

The first ever Calzedonia advert that I remember seeing and loving was in 2008. At that time I was 12 years old, the age when I started thinking about the future, specifically in the marriage and family department. This advert was about a little baby girl who grew up always choosing to wear Calzedonia socks and tights. It's a 30 second long advert that tells a beautiful story about a girl who turns into a woman wearing Calzedonia in the main events of her life and 12 year old Carolina fell in love with that story!

Seeing the advert now, being 19 years old, it doesn't have that same effect it did all those years ago but it does bring back lovely memories and a feeling of comfort.

Since that advert there have been other ones and they are always so lovely to watch, they're beautifully created pieces of art. I would never get tired of watching them because they feel like a hug to me!

The most recent one - last year's one - is called "Life is a Journey" and it features Julia Roberts in beautiful landscapes: Scotland, Paris and Florence. The simplicity of this advert is what really makes me smile everytime I see it.

Calzedonia Autumn adverts are one of my favvourite things in the entire world and I honestly cannot wait until the next one comes out! What about you? What is one thing you always look foward to when this time of year comes?

Becoming Jane

Recently I was browsing through some tv programs, looking for a good movie to watch. Amongst the many, some that I had seen and some that I had not, I found a movie called "Becoming Jane". I ended up choosing that movie because it was about Jane Austen's life.

"Becoming Jane" is a story about a girl who has a big passion for writting and wants to make a living out of it. But in the era she lives it is hard for women to make a living for themselves and usually they depend on the husband's job and money.
Jane's family isn't wealthy and so her mother insists she marries a rich gentleman named Mr. Wisley, who proposes to her partially because he likes her and partially because his aunt wants him to marry her.

But Jane is living in a world of her own. She meets a handsome young man, a lawyer from London named Tom. After bickering with each other for a bit they end up falling in love.
Tom takes Jane to his uncle's house in London so that the two can meet and Tom's uncle can accept Jane for the person she is and let Tom marry her. But his uncle doesn't want Tom to marry someone who hasn't got any money so he doesn't approve of the pair.

Tom and Jane decide to runaway, marry in secret and live their love away from everyone. But after finding a letter in Tom's jacket's pocket, Jane decides to go back home saying to Tom that their relationship would never work.



After some years Jane is a famous and successful novel author and Tom is a successful lawyer. The two of them meet in a social event and Tom introduces his daughter to Jane. When meeting they realise they never stopped loving each other.

I am a fan of novels and I am a fan of Jane Austen's stories. I have never read any of her books but I have seen "Pride & Prejudice - The Movie" based on her book "Pride & Prejudice". I really want to collect all of her books and fall in love with her incredible writting and imagination. Watching this movie has helped me understand her better as well as her stories - or ar least the one I know. I really look foward to getting my hands on all of her masterpieces and deeply submerge into the captivating love stories!

Inside Out

Recently I went to the movies by myself - which is something I quite enjoy doing - and I bought myself a ticket for a movie called Inside Out. It is the newest Disney Pixar movie out there and I have to say that it is absolutely brilliant. Although I am 19 years old I still love kids movies and watching this one made me think a lot about life. When that happens, when I leave the cinema thinking deeply about the movie I know it was a great movie!

The story, as you can read from the poster, is about the five little voices inside our minds. They're called Joy, Sadness, Disgust, Fear and Anger and they control the emotions they're named after.

When an accident happens inside Riley's head - Riley is the girl who these five little emotions control - all sorts of bad things start happening and it seems that everything will end really badly. But obviously that's not the case.
The movie is filled with - in lack of a better word - obstacles that challenge everyone but in the end everything goes back to a far better normal.

I loved this movie because it was like a warm hug and I do love myself a warm cozy hug. I love hugs at all times, specially when I am very emotional.
Whilst watching the movie there were times when I felt like I needed a hug because it was a very emotional movie - or at least it was for me but I am naturally a very emotional person and it doesn't help my case the fact that I went to see this movie at that time of the month. But I still think that it is an emotional movie regardless of my "condition".
Also the cinema room had a lot of parents who went there simply to take their dauhters and sons to see a great movie. And the laughter and conversations from both adults and kids in between scenes, before the movie started and during break time was absolutely heart warming.

There was this pair - a dad and a lovely little girl - sitting close to me. My heart melted a tiny bit more everytime I heard them talking to each other, everytime I heard the dad saying things to the girl like "If you finish your drink and you still want more afterwards you can have mine". That to me is the cutest thing ever! This happened during break time and obviously I got a bit more emotional. So naturally when the movie ended I left feeling emotionally wrecked only because I wished I had gone back to being the little girl I once was going to the movies with her family.

In my opinion this is one to watch with your family and it is for everyone who loves a good old Disney life lesson hidden inside of a movie! If you've not see Inside Out and you're curious after this post, go see it whenever you can because it is brilliant!

The Phantom of the Opera

February 1st, 2014

Today is saturday and I'm sick/ill... I believe it's a cold. I am really sad that I am sick because today I wanted to go to a concert, a Michael Bublé concert. He's having 2 concerts here in Portugal and I cannot go because I am sick... and also because I didn't get tickets but I could have last minute!

Anyway, I can't go so I have to find something to do. As usual I go on my computer and I watch videos.
This time I decided to watch videos of Nicole Scherzinger and for the past couple of months I have been obsessed with a video of her singing a song from The Phantom of the Opera. In the video she is singing a duet with 4 men and one of them really catches my attention. I search to find who he is. His name is Ramin Karimloo. As I do I go and search more things about this man. I find a video of him and Sierra Boggess singing a duet of "The Phantom of the Opera". I keep on playing the same video over and over and slowly I start falling in love with these two characters. I go on the search box and I type down "Phantom of the Opera". Amongst the many videos of this musical I see there's an almost 3 hour long one, so I figure it must be either a movie or a play. I click on the video, put my headphones on and I just sit there waiting to see what happens.
The characters start talking and the story starts to evolve and as the minutes go by I feel happy as I've found something to watch on this sick/ill day.
Midway through the play - I quickly figured it was a play and not a movie - I feel the need to pause the video as tears are streaming down my face and I am heavily breathing. In am so into the story that I feel everything the characters feel, specially the main one: The Phantom. For some sort of reason that I do not understand, I have connected with The Phantom rather than connecting with the others. I'm usually more of a good-guys-connecter type of girl! But this time it was different. I felt the pain of The Phantom, all of his emotions and his heartbreak!
I need to stop crying and compose myself before watching the other half of this play. I want to see without having tears in my eyes but I also don't want anyone of my family to see me crying. I go on to the room with my laptop and I place it on the bed. I then move myself to the bathroom to wipe down my tears and wash my face. As soon as I feel more composed, I go to the bedroom, I sit on the bed and I place the laptop on my lap. I put on my headphones and I press play!
In about 1 hour and 30 minutes the play finishes. I take off my headphones and I just sit there and contemplate everything I've just seen.
This was my first time seeing a proper musical and it's no surprise to me the amount of love I have for it!

Months have passed and it's now 2015. This amazing musical has stuck to me and with me and it most certainly will for the rest of my life!
When I was a little girl I always knew I wanted to be an actress but I only wanted to do movies or tv and I never considered doing theatre. I felt like it just wasn't for me... After watching "The Phantom of the Opera" for the first time ever, knowing nothing about the story and having felt the way I did, I have been re-considering theatre for the past year. Now I am not shutting out this option, in fact I am very much open to it!
It would be lovely to do movies and tv, I still want it but there's something about musicals that I deeply love! If I could only choose one of these "stages" I'd choose musical theatre. It's a combination of two of the most perfect things in the world: acting and singing!

Watching the musical "The Phantom of the Opera" has completely changes my life and I will for ever love it, adore it, worship it!

Respect

Throughout my 19 years of life I have met a lot of people and, at some point in my life, I have considered some of them friends. At the present moment I feel like if I am seeking true happiness I must only surround myself with people with whom I have a relationship that is mainly based on mutual respect.

And throughout my 19 years of life I have come across some very disrespectful people and I have come to realise that that will probably happen till my final days. And I am very much okay with that because I know I have the choice to leave, I am not obligated to be friends with someone who doesn't respect me!

In the past month I have felt like some of the relationships I am in, some of the people who I have surrounded myself with are not respectful towards me. If I was my 16 year old self I would totally let it slip, I'd put it under the rug. But for the past year and a half I have been finding something that I have lost a long time ago. That thing is self-respect and I think it is the most important thing to have when making friends, being in relationships, dating and even just meeting people.
When I was younger - and even in the last few years - I had no respect for myself and because of that I ended up being in relationships where I wasn't happy. 

This wasn't supposed to be an advice post but it turned out to be so my advice is respect yourself first!

The Age of Adaline

On the 8th of May 2015, a girl called Carolina was feeling very anxious. Not because of coming up school exams or a medical appointment she was extremely nervous to go to. She was just anxious...
She decided to do something about it and so she got ready, left the house and went to wonder about in a shopping center.
When she got there she wondered through a few stores and bought some things to pamper herself. But the anxiety levels were still very high and so she went to the cinema and bought a single ticket.
A movie was probably the one thing that would calm her down. (Being in a dark room full - or empty - of strangers is quite relaxing, some might say!)
When she got there, there was only one woman in the room... but as the minutes went by the room started filling up. When the movie started everyone went silent!

At last the anxiety levels had dropped and Carolina was calm & relaxed!

"The Age of Adaline" is a story about a girl who, just after losing her husband and being left with a 5 year old daughter, suffers a terrible car accident. From that moment on her life changes completely... she stops aging.
At first it's not noticeable but as the years go by and her daughter starts getting older, people start wondering why she looks so youthful!
One day a police officer stops her on the road and notices she looks too young to be 45 years old. And from that moment Adaline starts a new chapter in her life, a chapter where she will not remain in the same place for over 10 years, a chapter where she'll always run away and become a new person.


During the movie Carolina found herself experiencing a lot of mixed emotions and there were times when she wanted to cry because she truly connected with Adaline. There was something about her that Carolina found quite special!

If like Carolina you sometimes find yourself trapped in a world where you feel like no one understands you then go and see this movie. Carolina couldn't find someone to connect with in the real world but she most certainly did it in the imagination world!

Seize The Moment

There's this movie called "Boyhood" that I've been meaning to watch ever since it came out. I never got around to doing it up until recently and I really regret not watching it sooner but at the same time I feel like I was just meant to watch it at this time of my life. Had I watched it before and the effect it had on me could have been different and less meaningful!

This post is not to talk about the movie itself but the important message I got from it!
At first I started thinking about my life and what I will be doing with it. In the movie there's this part where the main character Mason goes to visit the college/university he's planning on going to. When that happened I started getting really confused, worried and upset. I started thinking about what life really is! Is it just some sort of path you go down where you do all of these things everyone expects you to do? Is life really just about getting an education, finding a husband or a wife, settling down and having kids and having a job that pays the bills? Or is life made of moments, unforgettable experiences, taking risks, finding "your people"?

About 30 minutes later more had happened in the movie and I started to think that I don't have to do what everyone else is doing and that it's okay for me to still be confused. I realised I will be confused till the rest of my days because a life worth living has got to have moments of confusion. And not just confusion but sadness and all the feeling no one likes to feel.

In the last few minutes of the movie Mason is talking to this girl he met in his first day of college/university and she says to him: "You know how everyone's always saying "seize the moment"? I don't know. I kind of think it's the other way around. You know, like the moment seizes us."
This simple thing she said really made me start thinking about the whole "seizing the moment thing". I am still trying to figure out the reason why. All I know is that it made lot of sense to me!
And because of that I'd like to leave these questions for everyone to discuss in the comment section below: (1) Do you think we seize the moment or the moment seizes us? ; (2) Why is it so easy for us to say "seize the moment" but so hard to accomplish?

Also if you've not seen the movie "Boyhood" yet, I really advise you to. Before watching it I had really high expectations about what it was like and it completely surpassed them!

In 5 Years

Recently I've been thinking about a very important question: "Where am I going to be/What will I be doing in 5 years?"

Last week I turned 19 years old so in 5 years time I'm going to be 24. By the age of 24 I hope to have achieved some of my written-all-over-my-notebooks life goals, which include the following topics:

(1) University (2) Travelling (3) Experiences (4) People (5) Health & Happiness

(1) University

Ever since I was a little girl I dreamt of going to University to study things that I am passionate about and hopefully turn them into a career.

I dreamt - and I still do - that I'd meet people who would become my friends for life, that I'd have experiences worth sharing later with my grandkids and all meaningful and important people that would come into my life.

(2) Travelling

I have always loved to travel, to discover new places, to create memories, to meet new people. It is only now, at this age, that it's possible for me to travel like I want, when I want, to where I want and with whom I want.

I've not travelled to a lot of places but hopefully this is the start of that chapter in my life, hopefully the travelling adventures start now!

(3) Experiences

In my eyes experiences don't have to be grand. An experience can be as simple as being completely emerged in joy and happiness when doing something that gives you pleasure and makes you feel passionate, like going on a trip with your best friends or spending an entire day pampering yourself.

For me it can be going to a concert whether I know the artist or not, having a picknick on the beach with friends, embracing a sunny day.

The simplest of things in life are the ones you are able to enjoy everyday so enjoy them as much as you can because they're the ones you're going to remember loving!

(4) People
I am a people lover! I love to get to know different people with different interests, passions, lives. At 24 years of age I'd love to be surrounded by friends that I've got to know throughout my life, with whom I've had experiences that I'll remember all my life. I'd love to have helped at least some people achieve something they want, conquer a fear. I'd love to inspire people in some way.
I love people and I want many of them in my life!

(5) Health & Happiness
Every single day I conquer a fear or obstacle, I achieve something, I take another step towards my happiness. At 24 years of age I hope that I am still in this process of growing as a person, this process where I take small but meaningful steps everyday.

Where do you see yourself in 5 years time?

Love,
Carolina Rosalie ♥

Love Yourself

Those people who say they hate people they don't even know, let me tell you that is not right! Those people probably haven't done a single thing to you so you shouldn't be hating on them.
From watching some people of my surrondings I came to realise that this rage is nothing but jealousy. People don't feel comfortable in their own skin so they take it out on others.

I have experienced this myself. A few people have hated on me because they didn't feel happy in their own skins. I never gave them back the negativity they gave me but it obviously made me feel sad and sometimes angry.

If you do this to other people they might not feel angry because most of the times you don't say things to their face but they will feel sad if they find you've been saying bad things about them.

This post will probably get hate from some people - glad I ain't that popular (yet!) - but I still want to do it because I feel like the people that hate on others may - or may not - find this either helpful or at least interesting, as well as people that, like me, try not to hate on others.

Let's all picture Demi Lovato. She deals with a lot of hate for being larger than what people consider a beautiful size. Now let's picture Taylor Swift. She also deals with a lot of hate because she is "too skinny".
For me both Demi and Taylor are beautiful as they are. There's no such thing as a perfect size, all sizes are beautiful.
The people that hate on D & T for being a certain size are either:

• Jealous of them because they feel beautiful and confident as they are
• They - the haters - just have nothing to do with their lives and they sit all day in front of their computers and they hate on everyone

Now let's say you don't like Perrie Edwards and you think she's fake because she either wears a lot of makeup or because she's just with Zayn for fame. I am a fan of her, obsessed about pretty much anything she does as she's one of my biggest inspirations and I do not see anything fake about her looks or her personality. She is absolutely stunning and from what I know and from what she shows us of her relationship with Zayn, she's absolutely in love with him as he is with her! *I'm fangirling a bit* That hate some people have for her is because they're jealous of her looks, her talent, her personality and her fiancé! Nothing but that...

Basically the point I want to make here is: You do not have to hate on other people that have done nothing wrong just because you feel bad about yourself!
If you dislike a certain trait you have try to accept it or try to find something you like about yourself and concentrate on that and slowly find ways to accept all your features.
I will make a video with tips on how to be more positive and another video on my ways of accepting my body, my traits, everything about me. Both of those videos will be up soon, hopefully, so make sure you're subscribed to my channel to see them as soon as they're up. Also make sure to follow me on Twitter and check out all my other social media - links on the tabs at the top of the blog :)

Thanks so much for reading. Come back in a few days for a brand new blog post! Until then...
Love,
Carolina Rosalie

Finding my way

Hello everyone! If you've read my blog post or seen my video, both titled "The Future", you will know that I recently finished High School/Secondary School and because I am not going to University this year I have been feeling a little bit lost in terms of what I should do. Obviously there's things I want to do but they all scare me because they're way out of my comfort zone and also because some of those require money, which I do not have.

This week I've been feeling very sad, lost and terrified which makes me have anxiety and sometimes panic attacks. Fortunately I learnt how to control my panic attacks when they're just about to start so they were not as bad as they could have been.

Usually I'd been starting school in a few days but I am not going to do anything as of yet.
For the rest of September I will be helping my mum with some things, finnaly learning how to cook and spending more time with 2 of my best friends.
After that "adult" things take place... hopefully I will start working in the beggining of October. And also I am going to keep on blogging and making videos!

But one thing I was terrified of was not knowing what to do in 2015. I still have to do some research and discuss things with my mum but I there's a school which fits my plans and expectations. So I think I will be applying to that school next school year.

This was a pretty rambly blog post but I just wanted to let you know that things are falling into place!

I hope you are having an amazing September so far. If you've enjoyed this blog post make sure to follow me on Bloglovin' to keep up with all my posts. Have a great weekend and I will talk to you next Tuesday :)

The Future

Hello everyone!! Today is a bit of a personal blog post - like pretty much all of my blog posts, haha!

I am 18 years old and this year I finished High School/Secondary School. I am very aware of what I want to do with my life - a bit of everything I am passionate about - but I still want to experiment and do other things before "growing up" and commiting to my job for the rest of my life.

This Summer I have been the center of attetion in my family. Everyone is constantly asking me "What are you going to do now?", "Have you been accepted in University?", "What are you going to do with your life?" and all questions similar to that.
Because of that constant "jumping on me" and attempts to give me "advice" (brutal advice that is not in any way similar to advice) I closed myself like I do in most stressful or anxious situations. Nowadays, as a consequence of what has been going on this Summer, I get very anxious and emotional everytime someone asks me about University or what am I going to do this year.

To clear things up a bit I just want to say that:

• I am not going to University yet (I might not go ever as the things I want to do for a living don't require that)
• University is not the only option and I still plan on getting educated on areas of my interest
• I still plan of getting experience on areas of my interest
• The rest of this year and next year I am doing courses in my areas of interest, I am going to work for the first time in my life and I am going to do things I have never done to get myself ready for life as a young adult

Some people said (to me) - and some said it behind my back which is very disrespectful of them - I shouldn't stop studying because it's a big mistake as if I ever go back to studying I won't be able to do it properly. I am not stopping for good, I am simply taking a break. I don't think it is a mistake, I think it is the best option for me, right now. I know myself and I know what I have been through and I know what I need!!!

Also I have the support of my parents and my sister. I have the support of my aunt whose more like my grandmother. I have the support of my actual grandma. And I have the support of people outside of the family - young and adult friends & one of my teachers from 9th grade - who totally understand that I might not be ready to make this big of a choice.

To all of the people who are in this situation or something similar:
If you don't know what you want to do yet, that's okay.
If you don't want to go to University - just yet or ever - that's okay.
If you found something more suitable for you just go for it! Just do your thing and don't give up!!
If you want to gain experience or you just want to try new things, that's okay.

Just remember that eventually you have to choose what you want to do and grow up but it hasn't got to be now!
We are young, we must experience life before choosing what to do with our lives.
We might like something now but in a few years time it might be something different.
Don't just do things because you want to please your family or people in general.
Gaining experience is always good.
Having time for yourself and to think about what you really want is always a good idea.

To finish this post I have some quote images to inspire you & cheer you up!
Thank you for reading. Leave your opinions or suggestions for future blog posts or videos in the comment section.

Frustrated??

Well dear beloved friends, today I thought I'd share with you something I've learnt through the most recent years of my life. It's a mix of things because my head is a complete mess with a lot of topics that I like to write and talk about and so I can't just talk about one thing at time, as it's all related and I am not very good at separating things and at expressing my thoughts in a direct and clear way, it all gets a bit messy everytime I try to...
So these past 2 years I've been under a lot of changes, pressure, tension, stress, basically everything you could imagine being bad to you. That happened because obviously I started High School and my life got a little bit harder on me... to say the least...
And when I experience things that make me feel rubbish and just turn into an emotional mess I tend to get frustrated. To calm myself down I either eat to over-compensate my sadness and frustration or I get very angry, moody and bossy... when this last case takes place you shouldn't talk to me, you'll regret it! To basically sum it up that is what I do, I let my frustrations out on others. I'm not proud of it and I honestly feel bad after I've calmed down but is something that I do... something I've been trying to stop and my effort has paid off.
I don't know how I managed to control myself, my emotions... If you've come here for help or some tips on how to get better at this particular subject I am very sorry, I can't help with that. One thing I can say to you is that it is possible to change this situation. I think if you try to think positive thoughts you're one step closer to reaching your goal. That will help you control your frustrations and it will make you see things in another perspective... I guess.

That's basically it, I guess I just wanted to share my thoughts on this and my experience. If I'm being honest I just started writting about this because I was frustrated and angry at a situation that happened a few minutes ago. I could've easily let my frustrations out on my mother (because she's the only person that it's home) or I could've gone to the kitchen... but I didn't... I guess this is my way of letting my frustrations out. Creating something, even if it turns out to be nothing special. Taking a negative thing and turning it into something positive! I guess after all I ended up having a piece of advice for you!

So that's it guys! I hope this was somehow helpful or enjoyable. Don't forget to comment and share this post. Also check all my links to find out more about me!

It was great talking to you!
Love,
Carolina Rosalie :)

Transition

There comes a time in your life when you'll feel very different from the people surronding you, when you won't understand some of their decisions or attitudes, when you'll feel like you are an outsider, not because they make you feel like that, but because you no longer have things in common and you think they're immature. This might be a hard phase, specially if your group of friends is substantially of people around your age or younger than you. You'll find yourself wondering "what the hell" did you see in them, why do they act so childish... You won't spend as much time with them as before and you might try to make an excuse everytime they invite to do something. 

This, my friends, is currently happening to me. I'm not the most sociable bird so my group of friends is quite small and recently I've been noticing that I don't wanna hang out with them as much as I did before.

It started last Summer and this somehow claustrophobic feeling (I wanna "get out of the group", but I can't because I don't have other friends to turn to) is getting bigger by the day.

So I talked several times to my mom, a person who does understand what is happening to me. From that I tried to understand what all of this is and it's very simple... I am growing up.

When analysed it doesn't appear so strange anymore. I have noticed that also my taste in music, clothes, food, books, makeup and other things is changing. I want more classic things, sophisticated, deeper, enjoyable... things that a couple of years ago I thought were horrible and very different from what I liked.

Of course I still have an immature side to my personality and I'm goofy all the time. Of course there are still things I enjoy, just like before. Of course I'm not a grow woman yet, in a lot of aspects... there's time for that. I just wanted to say that all of this is an important part of your transition into "adulthood". It doesn't happen to everyone at the same time, some may find themselves experiencing this at my age (18 years old), some before, some after but the fact is: all of us do!

So don't feel scared or lonely when this changes involve other people. They will understand if you need to spend more time alone or the fact that you don't find a certain joke funny anymore... they'll understand that in their own time.

Thanks for reading everyone! Take care!

Love,

Carolina Rosalie :)

Letting Go

Hello everyone! Today I thought I'd share my thoughts on this phrase "One of the happiest moments in  life is when you find the courage to let go of what you can't change".

Letting go of what you like/love is never easy and most of the times you regret doing it. But there is always a bright side, a positive thing that comes into your life when you let go of something that doesn't need to be a part of your life anymore.

For example, one of the most common things people want to let go of is a sad or bad past. Most people don't have enough strength to do that whenever they want but eventually they'll have to do it if they want to start having a better and brighter life. 

And for me (and the entire human species and animals and rocks...) one of the things you can't change is the past. You might as well let go of it and start living the life you've imagined. 

My case is actually very similar to the example I just gave. For years and years I said to myself "You need to change Carolina, you need to let go of the past and start living the way you want to..." but as I was just a kid, still am, I couldn't do much about it. I needed help to change several things I was doing wrong, bad habits. 

But as the years went by I started to see that I don't have to change everything at once. I'll eventually get to where I want if I take little steps towards that way.

So here I am... still a kid... changing my habits, the way I see life and I'm becoming a better, happier and healthier person. 

So the main thing I'm trying to say here is: it does take a lot of courage to let go of things but if you do it better things might come your way. 

I hope you enjoyed this very random blog post. Feel free to follow me on Bloglovin' or any other social media sites, all linked on the side bar. I'll talk to you next week :)

Take a look inside my mind

(I wrote this on sunday, the 19th of January)

Today is the first bad day I've had this year, it's the first day that I sat down to think about what is currently happening to me and to others out there. I always say to myself "Don't think too much about your problems, it's only gonna stress you out and you're not gonna feel okay." But I end up thinking about the problems anyway because it's seems to me that when I do that, after feeling sad, anxious, angry and so on, I get into a calm and relaxed state of mind because I find my inner peace and I know everything is gonna be alright. I have been through so many things in my short period of life (true fact)... one more is not gonna make me fall or break down. I've realised they only make stronger!

[I believe the "so many things" I've experienced were meant to be, were meant to happen to me because it was God's way (btw I'm not religious but I do believe there is something above us that controls all lifes and does everything with a purpose... I don't have any other name for this "force" so I call it God) to "create" the person I am supposed to be, with a strong personality and my own believes, a voice to others, an inspiration... I believe I'm going to be that person some day because that is what I see myself doing with my life. I want to have a voice and inspire others, give advice and be a role model to younger and older people. I want to be able to save lifes, I want to help.]

So I'm writting what I'm feeling because it's my way of letting the bad thoughts go. I like to think that if I turn something negative into a positive thing, that is going to bring positive things to my life. I'm not only creating a good thing but also making myself feel better about it. And I think that is one of the purposes of life: finding a way to let go of the bad whilst creating the good, whether it's for yourself or for others.

This is all I have for you today. Thanks for following and reading, Don't forget to check out my other social media sites. Share this post if it did you any good.
