It is said that it's pretty hard to leave your past, your entire childhood behind and just move on and face up new things. In my case, I just moved in and the atmosphere round here scares the shit out of me. One thing is certain: I hate the silence. I just can't stand it and all I've got here is nothing else but this terrible still atmosphere.
I don’t know why we put things off, but if I had to guess, I’d have to say it has a lot to do with fear.
Who gets to determine when the old ends and the new begins? It’s not on the calendar, it’s not a birthday, it’s not a new year. It’s an event, big or small, something that changes us. Ideally, that gives us hope, a new way of living and looking at the world, a way of letting go of old habits, old memories. What’s important is that we never stop believing we can have a new beginning, but it’s also important to remember that, amid all the crap, there are a few things worth holding on to.
So here I am in this new place. Let's see what can I do with it ! (:

Octavian Paler
"Nu ştiu dacă aţi trăit vreodată o asemenea stare. Nu eşti nici mort, nici viu. Te simţi ca un foc care abia mai pâlpâie, gata să se stingă. Stai cu ochii deschişi, te uiţi într-un punct fix, dar nu vezi nimic. Şi nici nu te gândeşti la nimic decât la propria ta oboseală... de a trăi şi de a muri. Răstignit undeva între viaţă şi moarte, nu eşti bun pentru niciuna dintre ele. Parcă pluteşti în derivă şi aştepţi să fii aruncat pe un mal, ori al vieţii, ori al morţii, ţi-e egal"

About happiness
Maybe we're not supposed to be happy. Maybe gratitude has nothing to do with joy. Maybe being grateful means recognizing what you have for what it is. Appreciating small victories. Admiring the struggle it takes simply to be human. Maybe we're thankful for the familiar things we know, and maybe we're thankful for the things we'll never know.
At the end of the day the fact that we have the courage to still be standing is reason enough to celebrate. Enjoy every minute of every day, because you'll never return in time. Don't waste your time drawing lines that you can't cross, don't waste your time making plans. Things will occur when you least expect anyway. You just need to be prepared when they show up. Hoping for the best, but expecting the worse!
