Joie de vivre

"One moment I have you, The next you're gone..."

I do not understand how the weather can influence me in such a strong manner... The other day I was about to slowly but surely slip into the darkness; now I have a feeling of exhilaration and contentment about the beautiful life I was blessed with. I talk a lot about any kind of stuffs, I feel like walking a lot, I deeply breathe the cold spring air. I need to hug all peeps around me, to awkwardly dance, to make faces, to take dozens of photos, to sing like a crazy. I smile from the bottom of my heart when I see a sunbeam among a tree's leaves and when it caress my face afterwards. I feel strong, I laugh a lot, I have a huge deposit of optimism, smiles and energy. I walk with my head turned skywards, dreaming about the metal tube cruising at 10 km above the ground.  I am childish. I don't know if I wish the spring would be infinite, but I certainly wish to live more days like this one, like today: surrounded by warmth and soaked in childishness. The spring has come. ...

Source: https://www.facebook.com/Voltaj I simply admire these boys who are doing their best to show the world (Europe, in particular) that the general beliefs are not even close to what the truth is; who are strongly determined to go to the bitter end to prove people otherwise; to point out who WE, Romanians, really are.  I will move abroad soon, and I would be so glad to do it with all my heart, without bearing the fear of rejection because of my nationality. I want people out there to actually become open-minded, like they claim they are. Here is a nice English article with an interview with Voltaj , the team who are going to take part to Eurovision Song Contest 2015 ; also, the Romanian version of the song, 'De la capat' (in the article), as well as the English one, 'All over again' (below). You have my vote, boys! Fingers crossed!

Am gasit video-ul de mai sus pe un blog , si m-a manat curiozitatea sa-l urmaresc. M-a impresionat si chiar amuzat pe alocuri, in sensul bun; in plus, am extras astea: "Nu este corect sa incerci sa schimbi un om. Oamenii nu se schimba. Daca un pantof e prea mare, e mai usor sa cumperi alti pantofi decat sa umbli sute de kilometri cu ziare indesate in varf." "Daca vrei un cuplu bun, trebuie sa devii bun. Foarte bun." "Decat impreuna cu o persoana nepotrivita, mai bine singur. De multe ori, oamenii ajung sa formeze cupluri din frica, nu din iubire. Le-a fost frica sa se implice pentru a nu suferi, si le e frica sa se desparta pentru a nu suferi. Asa ca stau si sufera oricum." "Oricine poate sa se indragosteasca si sa sufere, dar nu oricine poate sa iubeasca." "Nu cauti iubire, devii iubire." "Implicati-va frumos si despartiti-va si mai frumos; fara drame, fara nemultumiri, fara noroi, fara suferinta. Fiecar...

Extracts: "Social interactions are taxing to the overall energy levels of the introvert. Introverts are happy to see the people they love, but when they reach that breaking point, they need their alone time. Don’t take it personally. [...] Introverts have a reputation for being good at listening. They take their time before they say anything, often reflecting on what’s being said instead of talking about it out loud. They may seem shy, but that’s not necessarily the case. [...] Introverts are naturally more creative and detail-oriented   than their extroverted counterparts. They spend time alone or in small groups devoted to small tasks, like creative motivations and solving problems. They’re great in work environments for that reason. Hiring an introvert onto your team is often a good idea." The article here .

     Am un sentiment de putere, emotionally speaking . Simt ca as putea infrunta orice din trecut , si nimic nu m-ar mai darama.      Sa se fi aplicat acel vers, "A heart of steel starts to grow" , care mi-a fost vierme de ureche in ultima luna? Probabil, desi nu imi place sa cred asta.       Nu vreau sa am o inima de otel, decat din punctul de vedere al rezistentei. Nu vreau sa fiu persoana aia rece si nesuferita care pretinde ca nu-i pasa de nimic, ca ea nu greseste niciodata, ca nu are nevoie de nimeni, ca nu iubeste.      Mie imi pasa de ce e in jurul meu; si arat asta de multe ori; nu imi ascund sentimentele, decat daca celalalt vrea asta in mod explicit. Eu gresesc mult si admit asta; si incerc sa ma revansez unde se poate. Eu am nevoie de oameni in jurul meu, caci altfel nu ma pot descurca; am nevoie de suflete, de urechi, de umeri, de maini, de inimi, ca sa ma dezvolt. Eu iubesc; nu opresc asta pentru ...

Even the smallest affirmation has the power to ruin; to ruin a day, a night, a week or a plan. To turn them into dust or into other kind of insignificant-useless-sticky matter. It also can well and truly throw the pointed one in a dark angle of his/her existence or cover his/her hopes with mud, yet those hopes seemed unshakeable the other day.  I say 'hopes', because 'dreams' is a much more powerful word; so powerful that it will destroy that darn affirmation, that phrase which made someone almost to give up on something pretty nice they planned to do. Dreams are the ones which gives humans the energy and the inner strength to fight, to clench their teeth, to grin and bear it and to, finally!, achieve that most-wanted result. Thus, may you call your hopes dreams instead? I bet you'll get the dreamlike result you crave so much.  "You will never be free until your free yourself from the prison of your own thoughts." (Philip Arnold) So, my dream (ex...
