No news today, just thoughts

For me Christmas came early this year :
it's been a strange month December 2012; between the assumed end of the world, graduations, new and old friends, and family the days passed by as it they were double and shorter at the same time.
Changing town like I did last year, i lived in 4 different cities in just one year, was a challenge, was funny and made me grow, but it was this month the moment i really needed.
Christmas came early to me.
As I don't believe in coincidences I had the most wonderful gift someone like me can receive and, even if it took me all this time to realize this simple thing, 2012 took me a bunch of friend I can't live without.  "no man is an island" says "About a Boy" but it's easier to live like that. Well, I've been shaken, me han traido fuera de mi concha: when i least expected to find people that mattered something, when I was just hanging to my few old sure friends, I find myself willing to trust, know and invest.
Christmas came early to me.
I discovered again the importance of people I loved, I saw myself as they see me, I changed what I didn't like and made me feel not good.. well, not all, I can't save the world in one day!
But i really tried to bring a piece of Murcia, Rome and Brighton in my life here and when I actually live as I was there, I make my day.
"Happiness is real only when Shared" A.S.
I'm not someone who make promises, one, the scout one, it's more than enough; I alway say too many things, many of them 'cause i mean them in that moment, but then they just fade away.. Now it's not time to do new year's empty promises, it's time to remember that one year is made by 365 day and some hours and there's no need do live a long and empty life, but the hard truth is that we can add life to everyday with simple easy little things. No more running, let's take our time to read, hug, smile and laugh. Everything else will follow.
I don't wanna live a century to wait in realizing dreams, hopes and trips: I wanna really live everyday like I was still in Erasmus discovering thing, confronting challenges and with no fear.
Christmas came early to me,
I hope I wasn't the only one.

points of view

points of view..all depends on that. And when you loose yours is done: it's hard to go back and find it, in the middle of the chaos where it smoothed till it disappeared.
The hardest thing is moving, changing your life and maintain the balance between who you are, what made you and who you want to be.
If life changes pieces by pieces while you're distracted making what you think are uninfluencial choices, than what's destiny, what's chance, what are coincidences and are we really free?
Every trip i do i meet different people that teach me something: most of the time is what i don't wanna be or become, sometimes are lessons i know i'll remember forever. and yet my point of view changes without me noticing, too worried to get distracted and live a "full life" to pay attention to my thoughts. Brighton and Murcia had overwhelmed myself, making me discover or find again part of me i didn't know where there, but the silence..only the silence can show yourself who you really are and that's the hardest thing in the world: being able to find every time a new balance without getting lost, maintaining your the point if view that characterizes you and remember the road you did and where you wanna go.

For them was the perfect summer day for going to the beach: people in his bikini and swimsutes sunbathing in the sun; I was in shorts and a top just starting to feel the heating of the sun..

Seems a life time ago when I was here in Brighton, but it was only four years ago. Everything's looks the same, everything's changed a part from the English Summer Rain and my host family.
Walking in the same streets i left behind I'm stoned that things work actually: the buses are on time, the streets are clean, the police is around..
It's not the perfect world, not the perfect country, but it's a place where jobs for students really exist, where people is polite, signs followed and bans respect. It's only the first week, but I feel i can live here forever, even if it rains too much.
