my goal is to live my life by two rules:

1st: by choosing a healthy lifestyle, forgiving/asking for forgiveness, polishing my virtues, and accepting my vices so that I understand and love myself (eventually changing).

2nd: by recycling correctly, not consuming much water/energy, thrifting, buying second-hand, trying to live with the essentials, adopting animals, helping nature, being gentle and comprehensive towards others, not spreading gossip, meditating, helping and asking for help, etc.

although I still can’t do it perfectly as I wish, I hope to reach my goal someday.

my dream is to make the tiniest difference, no matter how small.

I want to do everything to become who I am supposed to be.

Looking inside requires strength to surpass fear and kindness, not to take any blame.

I'm on the second day of my daily task, "writing something daily in my native language." 

I tried to do creative writing about a TV show I've been watching. It's called Baby Reindeer. Impressively, it turned out okay! I attempted to write about the main character's feelings. 

I also got Grammarly Premium, so I can write here more frequently and improve my English writing skills. 

 

My mom will be gone by Wednesday, and I'm kinda sad. I really wish she could stay longer. Sometimes, I feel alone and miss my family, but I try not to worry anyone around me. My feelings for my mom are bittersweet, though seeing a familiar face around is good. 

Furthermore, I'm glad that she's loose and cheerful here. It's incredible that I can give my mom such moments. Still, I'm worried about her health, and I hope she lasts many years yet to come. 

 

I'll update here more since I've got Grammarly. 

 

Bye.

A neve encobria o chão. As estrelas e a lua, o céu. Toda aquela neve escorregadia fazia com que o barulho se alastrasse pela noite. A nevasca das noites anteriores havia feito estragos; era a confiança do rei que o movia. Levava notícias sobre a regente que fora aprisionada, mas, que, por ora, estava bem. Ou fingia, para não levantar preocupações ou suspeitas.
Não descansava há dias devido ao senso de urgência e de reverência que o impedia de pregar os olhos. Optava por correr na escuridão e se utilizar de sua visão noturna. O destino não chegava. A temperatura alcançava graus negativos, o terreno parecia inóspito. Não chegava. O frio invadia suas entranhas; seus trajes pareciam não ser o suficiente. Não chegava. A desesperança transpunha a resignação. Não chegava.
De súbito, avistou duas pequenas formas sinuosas que denunciavam uma presença. Talvez de uma árvore. Dois longos galhos de uma flora ainda desconhecida para seu povo. O desespero para encontrar-se com a vida, que tendia a escapar daquele trajeto árduo, golpeava mais que o frio cortante em sua pele, em seus olhos, em sua alma. Em vez das estrelas, os galhos seriam sua bússola.
Mal sabia que rumava em direção à morte.

Yesterday, I went to the movies to watch Godzilla x King Kong: The New Empire. It was fun, especially when they destroyed Rio de Janeiro.


I’m a little sad because tomorrow starts a new week. I’m so tired of my 9-5 work. I need a better job, but I can’t complain much because at least I got one.

Anyway, may this week be a great one. :)

i'm addicted to social media.

i’ve been trying to focus on my life, but it’s especially hard to do it while I’m trying not to be consumed by my 9-5 work with its meaningless tasks.

i can’t disconnect even at work.

a study shows that addicted rats don’t care about their addictions when they are in a pleasant environment.

i’m REALLY not in a pleasant environment. 

but I’m making an attempt to be present somehow... writing in a distinct language (which is great!), discovering and bettering myself at a slow pace. 

i need to decelerate and breathe

i hope it pays off.

so I’m reading a lot of stuff about old web content and how the Internet should improve our lives instead of having this social engineering stuff to make us addicted to this crap 

I’m trying to organise my thoughts about it so I can make a manifesto or something in my native language 

I must go to sleep now so I can face my 9-5 job tomorrow.

I'm re-watching hunter x hunter w my bf (who doesn't like anime as much as I do) and it's been a great experience. He's enjoying it as well as I am.

I didn't remember that Kurapika is such an op character. He's so fckn smart. I think he can beat Hisoka for sure.
(((when his eyes turn scarlet, he can master all nen types for 100%))

Also, I'm grateful that I found this website.

I wanna share more of my thoughts and what I've been doing w my life.
