You cannot find peace by avoiding life.

Do I excel in anything? No. But do I fail in anything? No. I just do my best. I do what makes me happy. You will never get top quality content from me. I’m not a perfectionist, I’m just a creative person. To me, this means that over having the perfect and most beautiful video out there, I prefer to constantly come up with new ideas and content. Creating is the keyword here. That’s what I love to do. Sometimes is raw, sometimes is polished; other times is silly, while others is meaningful. Anything that I’m feeling will translate in my videos, they don’t need to be the greatest masterpiece. Because I’m not a masterpiece, I’m a work in progress. And I like to be this way, because that means I will never feel like I’ve reached everything I want, as I always have new interests and I keep growing as I learn.

“Time is the substance I am made of. Time is a river which sweeps me along, but I am the river; it is a tiger which destroys me, but I am the tiger; it is a fire which consumes me, but I am the fire.”

Helen Keller. Anne Sullivan.  They were the stars of the comic book series I used to read in my childhood. I recognise the hand gesture, the way Anne Sullivan taught Helen to speak. Some scenes from the comic panels are very clear in my memory. But this is the first time I see them in motion. This is amazing.

But, listen, if only 30% of our decisions are correct, we will have very successful lives. At least, that’s how it seems to me.

“To say that ____ could be so potentially corrupting was to say we had no faith in their ability to make decisions for themselves.” Excerpt From: Patchett, Ann. “This Is the Story of a Happy Marriage.” who are you protecting; yourself or them?

“Anyone whose goal is something higher must expect some day to suffer vertigo. What is vertigo? Fear of falling? Then why do we feel it even when the observation tower comes equipped with a sturdy handrail? No, vertigo is something other than the fear of falling. It is the voice of the emptiness below us which tempts and lures us, it is the desire to fall, against which, terrified, we defend ourselves.” Excerpt From: Kundera, Milan. “The Unbearable Lightness of Being.” iBooks.

But why hide? What’s so shameful about wanting, about desire, about having failed to achieve satisfaction, about experiencing unhappiness? Why this need to constantly inhabit peak states, or to be comfortably sealed inside a unit of two, turned inward from the world at large?
