real art

In honor of Mies van der Rohe, one of my favorite architects, a visionary, an artist!

the hunger games

I just finished reading Suzanne Collins' The Hunger Games book and I LOVE IT! The movie is coming out in a month and it looks like it is going to be as good as the book.

And now, to the second book: Catching Fire. For those of you who don't know what I am talking about, here is the trailer.

ENJOY!

love is a battlefield

It is that time of year again. The time to show that special someone how much you love them. Personally, I am not a fan of this holiday. Although, I like the idea of having a day devoted to LOVE I have come to believe that love is not a thing of one day but a thing of a lifetime. Maybe, Valentine's should be every day of the year, not just February 14th.... 

No matter what we want to believe love is a battlefield. Every relationship we encounter in our lives is an ongoing war; there is love, passionate kisses and incredible nights, but there is also lies, cheating and heartbreaks. One thing is for sure, love is, without doubt, painful. 

Love is the hardest of all battles in our lives. It breaks us and weakens us. It shows us how far we are willing to go for those we love. It shows us the deepest and most amazing things about ourselves, maybe even feelings we never imagined existed within us.

Love is the most uncontrollable and the craziest feeling of them all 

When love takes over, logic is kicked out of the picture, leaving us with nothing but passion, love, jealousy, fear, happiness...It destroys our hearts, but... it can also heal them. Its magic power can break and heal any kind of wound. If you let yourself go, love will do this to you, it will let you heal and start over. It will once again let you be truly happy.

Oh yes! Love is a difficult game, that is why it is so valuable. It can't be found just anywhere, it can't be bought, it can't be stolen ... Finding that special someone will probably be the hardest thing we ever do. I don't know if there is another perfect half for any of us, but what I do know is that when we find love we have to keep it no matter how ugly the battles can get.

Hold on to it very tight and never let go. 

Happy Valentine's Day

dream big

Dreams. We grow on them. We build our hearts with them. They fulfill our souls and minds and give us hope in the worst of moments and brighten our happy ones.

I just received a letter from a dear old friend of mine. Oh, letters! Those romantic things our grandparents used to send to one another. Anyways, today, when I receive it, and you can imagine it’s not too often I receive one; I suddenly got a little bit of inspiration and happiness. I haven’t seen my friend since this summer but I obviously keep in touch with her, after all, even if we have letters, we also have Skype, WhatsApp and others…but this letter has given me so much more than any type of technology can ever give me. After a not-so-good day, with tons of studying and crazy thoughts in mind, when I started reading this letter I was immediately moved by her words.

Let me tell you her story:

My friend left her home in search for an adventure. When you leave your whole life at 20, no matter where you go, you start a new and incredible chapter in your life. I confess sometimes I think she has gone completely crazy, but most times, I think she is one of the bravest people I know, for being able to leave everything behind and go into the unknown, leaving almost everything to fate.

I cannot describe what I feel right now. Usually, I can write my feelings, but this letter said more than I could write here; simply because it was written from her heart, with such joy. Thanks to her words, I feel a sense of adventure, a need to change something, to do something exciting and unique that will shape my life and create an amazing memory to tell my grandchildren one day. I don’t know what my little or grand quest will be, but I’m intrigued of what it might be.

Thank you, RochiBelt, for giving me this sense of adventure once again, for pushing me to do something passionate and exciting.

I wish you the best in your quest and hope you find something magical in every place you set your foot on, 

and remember that we will always be here waiting for you!
