Welcome!

Good morning! Or good afternoon! Have a lovely evening! This is my first post here and I'm really excited! You know, I've been writing in other blogs but they always end up kind off dead...

(Also, this is the first time I'm writing a blog in English, which is not my first language.)

I think this is the one. The chosen one. The survivor. And what is the purpose of this blog, anyway? (This is what you're asking right there...sittin' at your desk, chillin' in your computer, asking yourself "why the f... am I wasting my time in this page?".)

Well, I will tell you why. Right now.

Because, here, the keyword is "HAPPY". Because you SHOULD and you CAN be happy. It is up to you. And let me ask you: don't you absolutely hate when people say this? "Oh, I choose to be happy every single day". Yeah...right! Right?? 

We both know it's not that easy. We both know that, sometimes, life give us a hard time and smiling becomes one hard task to do. But, let's be honest with ourselves. Sometimes (most part of them) we are responsible for our own misery. And that's why I am here today. To remind you (and myself...cough, cough) that it's not that bad, that it's NOT the end of the world and that you DESERVE to be happy, just like everybody else.

I'm not a psychologist, nor some kind of guru of happiness. I've actually always been a really negative person. There were times when I didn't have any sort of self-confidence. I didn't like to look at the mirror and, basically, everybody was better than me - in my really stupid and blind mind. And yeah, I smiled all the way, but I was a sad child and, later, a sad teenager.

Now...I will not lie, I still have my issues goin' on (who hasn't?) but I face life with another attitude nowadays. I'm not as dramatic as I once was and I really like the person I've become.

But I'm losing my point here.

The main goal here is not to create a false smile in your face. Is to make you understand that you have a beautiful REAL smile there, hiding somewhere deep inside of you. And you know what? You're the only one keep in it locked away.

We will spread positive thoughts and energies through this "world wide web", which, in my opinion, is full of negative stuff. I can't go to any website without seeing a bunch of negative comments, hating behaviors and people who are really angry with life (and with other people).

You know what? I am too! There are times when I want to punch everyone right in the face. But I discovered, a while ago, that these kinds of thoughts and feelings only arm ourselves and the ones we love.

So, let's try to see things in a different perspective, shall we? Let's try to, simply, enjoy life. Sometimes it's not easy. But it's doable. One day at a time? Nah, that's too boring and limited. One week at a time, maybe! Or, even better, one thought at a time. 

Like...right now, for instances. You know that little thing that is keepin' you off of sleep or relaxing? In a few weeks, maybe a couple of months, you will discover that that too had a solution, that, maybe, it was not even a real problem and lived only in your mind. You will find out that the person keepin' your thoughts full of drama is not even part of your life anymore. Like that one thing that was bothering you last year...remember? No?

Right...see what I mean?

Anyway, thank you for staying this far! I will try to do smaller publications in the future, I promise. This was the first. It's special. Hope to see you around here more often!

See you later, alligator!
