Happy New Year 2016 May this new year bring more love and less wars.

Starting a new is all about your mind set. If you think everything is going to be the same, then it will be the same. But if you think that a new year can bring changes, a positive attitude is going to lead you to better things. Whether you believe in resolutions or not, take the last Wednesday and the last Thursday of 2015 and think about the things you would like to better about yourself. Perhaps you will find that some of those things can be changed.  So, just take a moment and read the wise words of Coelho. CLOSING 2015   One always has to know when a stage comes to an end. If we insist on staying longer than the necessary time, we lose the happiness and the meaning of the other stages we have to go through. Closing cycles, shutting doors, ending chapters – whatever name we give it, what matters is to leave in the past the moments of life that have finished. Did you lose your job? Has a loving relationship come to an end? Did you leave your parents’ hous...

I think that every time a new year is around the corner we kind of sit down and look back at everything that happened. For some of us the memories are not pretty for others the memories are beautiful moments that they want to relive. For me this year was about changes. Not only did I move to a new home, I moved to a new state. I'm surrounded by a new atmosphere and new people. I ended a very bad job and started in a job that is on the right path towards my goal of becoming an educator. But my year wasn't just about change, it was also about family and a deeper respect, love and appreciation for my parents in particular. As they get older, I love them more and I miss them more. I spend hours thinking about them and how wonderful it is to have them in my life. My family may be filled with people that are unable to express their emotions but they are also the kind of people that love you and show you with actions. Now, I definitely appreciate that a lot more than people expres...

I'm sure you all came across the video of poet Sabrina Benaim and  her monologue about depression that was directed towards her mother. I feel that she did a good job explaining emotions that sometimes when people are depressed they don't know how to convey.   I just wanted to share this article that talks about depression. Lisa Winter's Article: It can be difficult explaining what it feels like to have depression to someone who truly doesn't get it. More than just feeling a little down now and then, depression is a physically — and mentally — draining condition characterized by feelings of hopelessness, anxiety, and abnormal sleeping and eating habits. But a stark description can't accurately portray what it's like to actually live with this mental illness. At the  2014 National Poetry Slam  in Oakland, Calif.,  Sabrina Benaim  delivered an incredible performance of a conversation with her mother in which she tries to make her understand ...

We grew up way too fast And now there's nothing to believe And reruns all become our history A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio And I won't tell no one your name And I won't tell 'em your name I won't tell em' your name Oooh, oooh, oooh I won't tell em' your name Ow! “Sadly Ally, life isn’t fair and we don’t get to have the things that we want.” “Maybe not now Theo, but you will see in the future that things are going to work out for you. I’m going to do whatever it takes to make sure that things change. You are a good person and you deserve better.” I think about you all the time But I don't need the same It's lonely where you are Come back down And I won't tell 'em your name “Whatever happens, I want to promise you that I will never forget you, we’ll always be friends.” “Don’t talk like that, okay?” “Ally, promise you’ll never forget me.” “I promise.” I said as I took the CD player from ...
