So it happened. That's the last day of 2014. I always feel very nostalgic about years as they're never coming back. There's not going to be another 2014 ever again, and this kinda scares me. Anyway, enough with weird thoughts. Something I like to do every time a year comes to an end is to list everything that's happened in that period of time. This always makes me feel grateful and motivated, as every time I write it all together, I realize I have accomplished and done a few good things.

IN 2014:


»Me

»The World

»The Posts I'm Most Proud Of
on a little note: before having a blog, I used to have a journal. I would write on there every time I would feel like it, which most of the times was when I was sad. Writing has always helped me clear out my mind and vent, and I have always felt better after. As now what I'm writing can potentially be read by the whole world, I'm obviously filtering myself. Before putting out a post I reflect wether my readers are gonna like it or not and wether I'm being a little TMI. Since I want this blog to be a place people enjoy visiting, I usually only publish happy posts, documenting the good things that have happened to me. This means that if last year I had a journal full of tears and rage, this year I have a blog full of joy and positivity. There are countless posts in which I talk about days spent at the beach with my friends, cool things I've seen and happy thoughts, and this, overall, makes me feel happier and more motivated. I think this shows we really have a choice. Obviously some things are huge, and we are going to remember them forever and to hopefully learn from them, but in general, for little things, we can decide what to document, and therefore, what to remember. I used to write about sad feelings as I wanted them out of my head, but now they are black on white, indestructible. Something I've learnt is that the human's memory is beautifully fleeting and easy tricked. I'm going to forget it, someway. So I have the power to decide which memories I want to last, which memories I want to be able to look back to, I am able to choose happiness. Next year I want to keep this in mind. I don't want to write with tears in my eyes and give that bad feeling the longevity of a paper page. I want to focus on the good things, cherish them, remember them. If something sad happens to me, I want to calm down before putting pen to paper, so that I'll be able to see the whole situation clearly and in a more objective way. Happiness is an elusive feeling that we keep giving for granted, instead, I want to celebrate it and appreciate it like it deserves.
