Who are you?

Posted on 00:55:00 by Livi Gerbase | 0 scraps

Are you your first name, or the last one? Are you what is written is your profile or you fast description on your diary? Are you the way you act when you are with your friends, or with your family? With your coworkers? Or even with yourself, reading some comic books? Are you the things you wish for, the ones you hope? The ones that you love or that you hate? Are you your likes and dislikes? The description you make of yourself to your friends? Are you the things you say?
Who you are is what you want to be when you grow up? Or when you grow old? Or when you just grow? Are you your ideals, your aims in life? Are you the money you make? The latest wardrobe you have? Are you your family? Are you your personality? Are you your point of view?
No. Those things are not you. Maybe a mix of all those thigs, but it's hard to say. If you think about it, they are just your first name, and last one, your characteristics, your job, your fortune, your preferences, and then it goes. They are not you.
The scientists could say you are Homo sapiens. Besides, for the rest of the world, we are all just stereotypes. But inside you, your soul and your prejudice, do you know who you really are? Cause I don’t.

Recipe for happiness

There are sometimes in life that we forget how to be happy. So, here I am to remind all of us little things that anyone can do to be happier, and to, specially, upgrade their self esteem. I did some research in some magazines, this is not all mine.

1) Stick to your personality, always. Everyone loves a band that you hate? Everybody uses an outfit that you think it’s horrible? Whatever! Don’t apologize for being who you are. You need to know who you are to love yourself.
2) Change! Your look, your room, your hairstyle. New things bring new energies to your life
3) Remember your achievements. Do you finally got an A+ in a biology test? Al last, you are in a relationship? Congratulations to you!
4) Since you have remembered your achievements, it’s high time for you to do new goals. These goals doesn’t have to be big ones, but something to fight for, like ‘make 5 new friends this year’, or ‘learn how to play piano’. The feeling of achieve something new is amazing.
5) Smile: for your family, for your friends, for yourself.
6) Make a list of your qualities. You can ask your close friends for some of then, because it’s so important to know why you are so special and wonderful the way you are.
7) Spend some quality time with yourself. You don’t need to be alone all the time, but it’s not necessary to be with someone to be happy. If your friends stood you up for one day at the movies, go by yourself!
8) Remember all the people that are in a much worse social position in life than you are. You have food, a house, friends, family, school/job, and so many other things that millions of people in this planet don’t have.
9) Make some good deeds. The feeling of help others is fantastic.
10) Make some new tips! You know things that make you happy, don’t think, just do it!

Enjoy

Some days ago, I was reading a magazine called “Mundo Estranho” (Strange World) and a particular article shock me: prophecies about the end of our planet. I don’t know how much I believe in those, but some of them, like the ‘Maya’ one, are very impressive. But the real problem is that that prophecy said that the end of the world is in 2012! That’s four years from now! There are others, like an Egyptian one, that gave us more time, but all of them were saying that the end is near!
I’m not saying that the world will end in four years, but this article made me think a lot about how every single day is so important in our life! The world could end tomorrow, and I don’t know if I would have done everything that I wanted to before I died. Actually, there are lots of personal achievements that need to be realized after I leave this life.
Until some days ago, I really though that we can let some days just go away, and do nothing about it, but what if this ordinary day was our last one? We are here, in planet Earth, not just to survive, but to grow, to enjoy this present that was given to us!


"Benjamin Button: For what it's worth: it's never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again"

and what you have done?
Another year over
and a new one just begun ''
\o/
Hello! After some months, here I am! I really miss writing in this blog! I can't say that I’m with no time, because I have timem but it doesn't matter, the important is that I’m back!
As long as is the end of 2008, I’ll write about my whole year. It was a very good year, with a lot of transformations. The trip in the beginning of the year changed my life, it was perfect. The short hair made a huge difference as well, I started to feel better about myself and care about my appearance more. The normal friends became big ones and the BESTS became normal ones. Reason? Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll, literally :D
I’m now in 2nd grade at ‘Ensino Médio’, high school. The 1st grade wasn’t easy, however my grates were great. In the third part of the year I wasn’t as good as the other parts, but nothing horribleJ, I wouldn’t change anything.
The party was awesome! I’ll put some photos here. The biggest problem was the temperature, because the air conditional broke and I almost die melting. Another little problem was that, since November is a busy month, there were a lot of other parties in the same day. Therefore, the number of people at the party decreased a lot. The important people were there, making a huge difference though.
The music style changed a lot. I had a Beatles time, but it was too much, I think. Now, because of anothers, I’m lessening to new things, from these past years, not from the 60’s or the 80’s, for a change! The influence was gave by a special someone, hihihi, who came into my life and changed everything! After some years desiring, wondering about it and making ‘some’ wishes, I have found a relationship! A really good one, actually. It’s so strange to talk about this in here, since people can read anytime, so this is it, you don’t have to know anything else :P
I think this is it. I’ll write more, manly about polemic stuff, which a love to write about.
See you later, innovator!
