36

A number of years ago (can't remember the count) I used to hear this figure in my head "36". I couldn't get what that meant exactly, but, back then, I thought this could mean that I may die when I am 36! That idea was scary, so I used to kick it out of my head. I kept hearing the "36" though, for so many years. A few months ago, I remembered that voice. Though I don't hear it anymore. And, then, I had a different idea, maybe it means that my life will "start" when I am 36, specially that I don't believe that I had a real life since I was born. I had that positive feeling that I deserve my life to start, I have been preparing for for too long. That was a few months ago!

Today, I turn 36. And the funny thing is that I like the first idea more! My faith and beliefs are all messed up with the effect of my major depressive disroder. I am tired. I believe I had enough. I have no wishes or hopes. The only thing I could be wishing for is be "nothing", I wish I was nothing, or be nothing. This life is just nothing. Everyone is chasing nothing, for the sake of nothing. It is all non-sense. It is all not worth the pain!

Today, I turn 36, and for the first time in my life, I have clear plans. Maybe they are clear because I don't care for life anymore. Maybe they are clear cause I am living because I have to, not because I want to. They are clear, and I don't care if I achieve them! They are clear and my only wish is that I don't live long enough to achieve them!

Today, I turn 36, and I am still not sure what that voice in my head had ever meant. The only way to know is to check on me a year from now. If I am dead, then be happy for me, the first thought was the right one. If I am still there, I don't know how you should feel like, if you care at all!! A year from now, if I achieved my plans, and I am still alive, then maybe, the second thought was the right one. But, having achieved my plans, doesn't mean that I am alive, or that my life has started. Does it even matter?!

My dream trips :)

I decided to write down my dream trips, since I add more to that every now and then, I'm afraid I will forget something. I really wish to do those trips before I die :). I won't sort them. Whatever is possible to do first, I will. 1. Another visit to the UK, one that's more organized, and maybe for a longer time 2. Spend some time in Paris, three nights is never enough! 3. Angkor, Cambodia! 4. Latin America, didn't decide which countries yet, but for sure I have to drop by Peru to visit a friend there 5. Aswan 6. A trip along the Nile till I reach lake Victoria. I have to drop by each country of the nine, really feel it, breathe it, taste it! 7. Italy, this one will be a long trip, I believe I need to visit every single province there! 8. Bali, Indonesia 9.

What a WONDERFUL world!

On Tuesday, February 3, 2009 Send love, receive love!! This is what I experienced this year. As everyone knows, today happened to be my birthday! And, for my surprise, I got the highest number of birthday wishes ever!! I even got wishes form someones that I never expected they will!! The thing, that NEVER happened before! NO words can tell how happy I felt for those wishes. YOU all made my day :)) Though, I was wondering, why this year specially, what happened, what is the change?!! I kept wondering. Before, yes, I always loved everyone around me, never hated anyone. I know, I was too busy before with the much trouble I lived in. Maybe I didn't have much time to turn to people around me. I know this year was different, I started to concentrate more on people. But, still I don't believe this is the reason why. Later on, after a lot of thinking and wondering and remembering, I remembered that in the past few days, while attending a course for PHE, we did some exercise, an ex...

The easy path or the right path?

We are frequently challenged in life, life would ask a question and throw many answers from which we have to choose only one. By human nature, we tend to choose the easiest answer, which is unfortunately the wrong answer. You were challenged in the first place to grow, to learn something new about life or about yourself. It is a chance that life offers you to mature, to become a better version of you. Choosing the "easy" answer, or path won't take you anywhere. You will only keep running in spirals and you will have to face the same question again. When life throws a challenge in your way, take your time, think, find which of them makes you most uncomfortable. That is the right answer...the right path. All you need to do then is take the "leap of faith"...and before you know it all your fear will be gone, and everything becomes under control. Never let fear choose for you!
"Like sheaves of corn he gathers you unto himself. He threshes you to make you naked. He sifts you to free you from your husks. He grinds you to whiteness. He kneads you until you are pliant; And then he assigns you to his sacred fire, that you may become sacred bread for God’s sacred feast."
