Three faves! #1

   A new series in my blog!! Trying to make something good out of every day.

   Wednesday: Watched "The oter woman" with my mum. Love this kind of plans: a movie, a blanket and good company!

···························

   Thursday: Home made dinner with some friends and played board games.

·······························

   Friday: Starred how it rained outside, hearing the sound of the drops against the pavement reminded me how much I've missed this weather.

❥  Collect moments of happiness ❥ 

Quotes, quotes, quotes!

······   Everything happens for a reason   ······

   This is another quote I like because it offers me the possibility to observe any event in my life from an useful perspective and, therefore, a positive one.

Limited room?

   I am getting a sad and nostalgic feeling thinking about growing up.  

   We stop loving somethings after a while in order to  acquire new ones...  as if there is no room within a single person to collect "favourite things".

When we are children, there is no better plan than going to the park and swing on the swing set for hours, the years go by and suddenly it gets boring to swing. Who could have imagine that this playful afternoos could lose their interest.

   People change, "mature" and leave behind their "favourite things". Who tells you that what you are loving today is not another "transitional favourite thing "? But, you know what? This temporary characteristic doesn't make your hobby less valuable, it is totally the opposite... as it may have a limited life, enjoy it while you actually can.

                          Seems to me like I'm just scared of never feeling it again
                                      I know it's crazy to believe in silly things
                                                  But it's not that easy

"Never let me go" and some thoughts.

I've spent the last couple of days watching films and laying in my sofa. One of those films was "Never let me go" and the last scene from it really sink into me. It is a monologue Kathy has with herself:

I come here and imagine that this is the spot where everything I've lost since childhood is washed up. 
I tell myself if that where true and I waited long enough... then a tiny figure would appear on the horizon across the field and gradually get larger until I'd see it was Tommy. He'd wave and maybe call... I don't let the fantasy go beyond that. I can't let it. I remind myself I was lucky to have had any time with him at all. (...) Maybe none of us really understand what we've lived through or feel we've had enough time.

You don't decide what surrounds you, but you decide where you focus your attention on.
