Blackbox Revelation- Surreal



There is a universal truth we all have to face, whether we want to or not, everything eventually ends. I am the kind of person that wants all or nothing, grey doesn't match me most of the times and this should make all easier, but it doesn't. I have always disliked endings , last days of winter, last page of a book..But endings are inevitable, snowflakes fall, you close the book, you say goodbye. We all have those days..days in which we say goodbye in our own special way to everything that was familiar, everything that was comfortable and we're moving on.  

I am now writing a new chapter in the book about my life, the old is the new nowadays for me. I am in a new big city and life here is brusselicious really :) Coincidences follow me still and I don't handle them well, but I am praying they will bring something positive. Being analytic and passionate in the same time is risky, but it is a risk I assume. I am moving on with or without some people in my life, with or without too many words nor feelings. My motivation stays the same, to be a better person each day. This being said, tonight I feel like sharing some compilations of words I have found here and there that I believe to be very wise. I hope in some of you, these words will raise a desire to pick up the phone and call someone you once hurt and apologize or write a letter or just say hi and try to reconnect..Who knows fighting for a friendship that once was worth might be double worth now. 


"There is only so far we can run from things that exist inside of us, and no amount of pushing things out of your mind or pretending like they didn’t happen will give you a pass from accepting it. There are lessons to be learned, and though they may hurt to think about, we can’t just erase a big part of our lives."

We often don’t realize when we hurt people. Little things we say, dates we forget, things we don’t consider important — they are all small slips of attention that, though they may seem insignificant to us, can hurt the people we’re with in profound ways. It’s often not until things are over, and the dust has settled on everything that transpired, that we can see the places where we took a wrong turn without even knowing it. Empathy can be a hard thing to keep in focus, especially over long periods of time with the same person, but it’s something we can never let ourselves forget.....

Moving doesn’t necessarily fix things.

 Maybe a small break from the routine will help in terms of temporarily forgetting certain details, but ultimately the change is going to have to come from you.... no matter how far away you go, you’re not going to escape yourself.

You might have forgotten who you are.

It would be wonderful if relationships were just a moment in which, while continuing steadfastly in your own life and towards your own goals, you walked that path simply next to someone, existing in a harmonious parallel and able to separate with no complication. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately, depending on how you look at it), our paths with someone become these tangled, knotted messes where we can often lose sight of what we wanted, or how we did things, or what we even liked before meeting them. Re-learning how to be by yourself, to follow your own dreams, and to do things the way you wanted can be painful — but it does make you grow.

"  Self-care is irreplaceable.
Whatever makes you feel good — dancing alone in your underwear, singing horrible karaoke, baking pineapple upside-down cake and eating it with friends straight from the pan, whatever — you should do it. "
" Nothing goes as planned/Everything will break / People say goodbye/ In their own special way/ All that you rely on/ And all that you could fake/ Will leave you in the morning/ Come find you in the day...Everything will change/Nothing stays the same/Nobody is perfect/But everyone is to blame/All that you rely on/And all that you can save/Will leave you in the morning/ Will find you in the day.. "   Andrew Belle - In my veins
