······   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.

Kodaline "High hopes" . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4povfmX144
                          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.

The fault in our stars

   I have have just seen THE FAULT IN OUR STARS and obviously I know that there already are millions, billions of reviews about this film on the internet but still, I wanted to say something about it. As Augustus itself says: "I decided a while ago not to deny myself the simple pleasures of existence" And for me, thinking about this story is one of those pleasures.

   First of all, it is the first movie I cry and laugh with at the same time; something I am very grateful for because enjoying a totally made up story with such a passion is a gift, you can appreciate it or think that you will feel the same about other event soon. I chose the first one and hence name it "extraordinary", so I have the perfect excuse to cling on to it fearing  it will vanish.

               

   Secondly, I don't know if I am the only one that had this thought crossing my mind while watching the movie: "I want to rewatch this again but alone, in my room, at night and with the house completely quiet so I can cry as much as I want without having to worry about disturbing the whole cinema". When I am wrinting this it is 2 AM and I am too sleepy to expose myself to all of those emotions again but what I could bare was listening to the soundtrack with my eyes closed and try to fall asleep. Even only with the music I started to cry again (All of the stars by Ed Sheeran is just too much) and I decided to write this.

   And to wrap this up, "The fault in our stars" have taught me these: to enjoy every life pleasure (whatever those are for you) and to live in a roller coaster that only goes up, because you never know how big your infinity is and ...never forget to open your heart and feel.

   P.S: I heard someone say that John Green is one of the most quotable authors ever. I totally agree.

Power

How to conserve that feeling of power?

   If you are lucky, when you'll see a powerful movie scene or read a touching book, you may get that feeling of happiness because, suddenly, you are in the exact place you want to be. And later, you'll exit the cinema or close that book thinking you are capable or everything with a smile on your face.
   Well, when you feel this way, the second thing you want to do (after seeking that moment) is to keep it. I am going to be clear, it is impossible. But maybe if you grab your phone and try to write what you are feeling, when you reread it you will remember how that moment was.

Remembering something is not a way or relive a moment?

Happiness

Happiness is a choice, don't take it for granted but neither think you don't deserve it.

   Obviously, there are sometimes when it is OK to feel sad, when it is OK to release those sad emotions. But only if afterwards you teel yourself that, now, it is the turn for happiness.

   When something gets you mad or depressed, you are the only one who have the power to choose if that is going to bring you down, or if it will help you to see the bright side of life.

Remember to be happy.

Positive thinking

   I am a firmly believer that you can find some positiveness in everything: in every moment, in every person, in every single experience. Even within the most adverse situations. 
   So you can realize what you like and what you don't, the hard way though. But at the end, it is always positive to know yourself more in depth.
   Also, the experience will help you to move forward.

Divergent.

   I know I am a little bit late in all this Divergent mania, but this Easter holydays I decided that I was going to read the book before seing the film, and so I did. 

   I finished it within a couple days and I am already reading Insurgent. I have to say that I loved it, not only because of its story but because it remembered me when I read things such as Twilight and introduced me again in this teenagish/young literature that I enjoy so much.

I am becoming obsess again with something (which is not a very difficult thing to do to me) haha
   I am looking forward to see the film! (I have already watch the trailer too many times)

Here it is one of my favourite quotes from the book:

❥

Road trip.

   I love road trips because of two things. The first one: it is a cheap way to visit new places and spend the day out. The second: I love being in the car and read a book (if I am not driving, of course), or just look through the window... It is very relaxing to me.
   In fact, doing this "little" trips is one of my favourite things to do. So this Easter holydays I enjoyed with my family one of those and I decided to take a few pictures. 

   Here they are:

Going there.

Discovering the coast.

Hello spring!

Sunset begins.

Find those ordinary or simple things you like, and make them your favourites.

Another quote

One hobby of mine is collecting quotes from movies and books I like. The other night I watched once again "The Amazing Spiderman" film, and at the end of it I heard this statement which I decided to note down and share with you:

- "Don't make promises you can't keep Mr. Parker."

- "But those are the best kind."

The Amazing Spiderman.

My tip: Grab a beautiful notebook  and a pen, then begin to write down every phrase, quote, dialogue... that has made you think and smile.

Different

  One thing that I wish I have realiced a long time ago is that we are all different and thus, you don`t have to compare yourself with others.

   It is useless.

   Be proud of those differences, as little or as big as they are, because that is what makes you who you really are. 

   Be happy whenever you find those differences since you will be closer to find yourself.

❥

Happy

Simple but effective.

Let that little something become important.

Falling

Back to English, just because I feel like so ;)
This post is about "Wide awake" by Katy Perry, I've listened to this song on repeat way too much and this is mainly because I love the lyrics... which tell something we've all been through. Who has not thought: "I wish I knew then what I know now?" Exactly, everyone has.

It is ok to fall sometimes, as long as you learn from it so the next time you won't stand upon a cloud. (The ground is a much better option.)

Héroes.

Siempre me ha gustado apuntar las frases de series, películas o canciones que me llaman la atención, y como últimamente me he enganchado a Sherlock aquí va una de esta serie: 

Serie Sherlock

Si alguien te decepciona piensa por qué lo ha hecho: ¿por su propio comportamiento o porque no ha interpretado el papel que le habías asignado?

Dreaming

I'm dreaming about telling the world some bits and pieces of what is going on in my mind.



Dreams are good, but you also have to make them happen.
