Not a cool blog

It is hard to even start talking about this but its something that came up a lot in my mind recently. With all the internet advance, it is easier to make the distances smaller. Living in another country is not so hard anymore because you can be in touch regularly with the ones you love. We can see trough facetime, a talk by messages and know everything about others lives’ with all the social media posts we see so often. 

But the interesting part of it is that, even with all this advanced technology, humans still need humans interactions. The warm feel of a hug, the touch, the presence, all of this matter so much to us that is hard, if you move, to not make new friends and only stick with the old ones, because the old ones can know anything about you, but now they can't give you a hug when needed, a shoulder to cry on and the real experiences that every human being needs to keep living.

The real question is: Until when is worth losing all the humans interactions you're used to having constantly to try to reach a goal, pursue a dream and follow your heart?

A year ago, I could only imagine being exactly where I’m now.

This sentence, over and over repeatedly, can fit for most of the people in the world. But today, I will talk about myself. 

Probably, If i had the same mind as my 12 years old self, I would be a doctor now. Neurologist, to be more specific. And if I had the same mind as my 20 years old self, I would probably be married right now. Change is a powerful thing. It could lead us to places we could never imagine, just because of a simple yes (or no) you say. Living exactly what I’m living right now was my dream, but I tought it was too hard to happen. But now I see that every step I gave lead me to it. 

A very well known sentece in my homeplace is “Muda-se os tempos, muda-se as vontades.” Translated is kind of “Change the times, change the wills” or somewhere in between. This is the phrase that perfectly describes my life. It is funny to think what could happen if I had taken a different decision or a different path than the one I chose to be. 

Thinking in the changes I had all over my life, it is impossible not to think of the people that helped (or forced) me to change. Change my opinion, change my mind, change my view and even change me with their own decisions. Right now, it easy to express how grateful I’m for their impact in my life, negatively or positively. But there was a time I couldn’t even realize how big a change they would bring me with a small word, act or decision. 

It is good to look back and realize, that even with mistakes and wrong decisions, all the ways lead me to be where I dreamed a long time ago. Changes aren’t always good, but are always necessary. It may be hard to understand the effects and causes of the changes that are occuring right now in my life, but I am beyond excited to see what they wil bring me. May the change begins!
