When you're sad...

What do you do when you're sad? And I'm not talking about the sadness that you have when you can't buy something you really wanted to buy, or the sadness that you have when someone you wanted to happen, didn't. No. I'm talking about the sadness that it's eating you alive. The one that you know it's there and you can't do anything about it. What then?

You keep on living, hoping that maybe, just maybe, there will be rays of sun on your street too. You keep on fighting  and try to find a little bit of happiness in everything around you. At least that's what I'm telling myself and I'm trying to do every single day of my life. But, damn, it's so hard! There are days when things take a good turn and then bam!, the next day you're right back where you left. And you want to quit. You want to let the world to crumble on your shoulders. You want to close your eyes and listen to the silence. But then, hope comes along. And she makes you to keep going. She pushes you, to keep fighting for your dreams, for your life.

What I'm trying to say (to myself) is that no matter how hard life gets, no matter how bad you want to give up, don't do it! Keep on hoping! Keep on smiling! Every sunrise is a new beginning  and we have to live it and enjoy it. Because, in the end, what would life be without its ups and downs? How could we enjoy happiness when we don't know what sadness feels like?


Here's a song to go with this:

Maybe this time...

I tried having a blog before. Well, actually, I tried writing before. I couldn't do it. Maybe I was too lazy, maybe I wasn't ready, but I'm willing to try again. Maybe this time it'll be better. Maybe this time I'll manage to keep this blog running.

I really want to do this. Probably nobody will ever read my blog, but I'm not doing this for someone, I'm doing this for me. I want to prove myself that I can write. Now, I'm not saying that I'm a writer or that my writing is great, good.... I'm just saying that I can write. Everybody can write. They can write for themselves. To keep their memories alive. To have a journal, an online journal about their lives: thoughts, hopes, dreams. Whatever one wants to write about.

You know what they say: new year, new me. Well I want to make 2014 the year when I try to improve myself. The year when I find happiness. The year when I achieve goals. The year when I make at least some of my dreams come true. This year is all about ME enjoying LIFE!
