I am one of the searchers. There are, I believe, millions of us. We are not unhappy, but neither are we really content. We continue to explore life, hoping to uncover its ultimate secret. We continue to explore ourselves, hoping to understand. We like to walk along the beach, we are drawn by the ocean, taken by its power, its unceasing motion, its mystery and unspeakable beauty. We like forests and mountains„ deserts and hidden rivers, and the lonely cities as well. Our sadness is as much a part of our lives as is our laughter. To share our sadness with one we love is perhaps as great a joy as we can know - unless it be to share our laughter.
We searchers are ambitious only for life itself, for everything beautiful it can provide. Most of all we love and want to be loved. We want to live in a relationship that will not impede our wandering, nor prevent our search, nor lock us in prison walls; that will take us for what little we have to give. We do not want to prove ourselves to another or compete for love.

Happy New Year my friends and a great 2012 - Make it yours!
Love that one, cause it’s true.
2012 is going to be an exciting year with so many people to meet. Maybe one of those will be you?!
that’s what freaks people out. and they end up never taking chances. i love this movie and I totally did crazy things like get out of a train to spend more time with someone i barely knew or book flights to another country to see someone i had talked to for two hours and barely knew as well.. and you know what? it never hurt. these people i either end up having a relationship with or just being friends, and that’s the best. the world is huge and so tiny at the same time, and our time on it is so limited. time fucking flies by so fast! it’s crazy! and one thing i refuse to do is to wake up in 10 years, older and regretting not having done this or that. life is about taking risks. taking risks in getting your heart broken (maybe, and maybe not) taking risks in trying to make your childhood dreams come true (maybe they will). I mean, if you don’t give it a try, how will you know? everyday, i tell myself “if i die today, i can say that i died happy”. ‘cause i’ve met so many many beautiful people and i’ve made 150% of my childhood dreams become true. i consider myself lucky, but i’m pretty sure, luck has nothing to do with any of this. it’s just devotion, determination, being good to people, being good to yourself…
i wasn’t gonna write all that. but there. my piece of mind for the new year. i’m super grateful of what i have, and i know i’ll end up having what i don’t have, or at least i’m gonna try, so i won’t ever regret anything.
P.S: promise me, this year you’ll do something crazy, or something that’s unlike you. take chances, it won’t kill you!
