Never

I read somewhere that the most important things in life happen to us when we are busy making other plans, when we least expect it.
This proved to be true reflecting on my personal past.

We tend to "get used" to what we have and feel a special comfort in it, even when we are suffering, even when it makes us suffocate and makes our present a living hell. 
We have several kinds of fear:
fear of change,
fear of the idea of having to work something anew,
fear to be disappointed again,
fear of going through the same shit again,
fear of failure,
fear of not being up to expectations,
fear of having really found what we always wanted,
fear of being happy,
fear of actually changing a life full of discernible patterns on any level whether psychological, emotional, relational, professional, etc...

Taking the plunge into any new adventure/project, no matter its nature, requires lots of guts and it becomes harder to achieve the older we get. One being a thinker and sensitive by nature makes things even harder.

I have learned that the best moment of any life-changing decision is the moment you take the aforementioned plunge, because you are never fully ready to any change in your life.

So, next time you know what you have, do not think of what may be, just take that plunge and see where it will take you.
The unknown is beautiful if your present base is solid and beautiful.

So, my friend, are you ready?
Never.

Drink water.

Carpe Diem

There is no higher goal in this ephemeral life than living your humanity.
Living it to the fullest extent, in the smallest details, throughout all your days.

There's no excuse for being inhuman in any way.

What's being human anyway you might ask... well it all starts with any of us having enough heart in us to be compassionate towards others.

We cannot help everyone all the time, we might not cure cancer, we surely will not stop human trafficking, nor will we be able to stop the production of arms or slow down the toxic technological advancement...

But we can smile for that stranger even though he/she is shit incarnated, we can help that woman carry her grocery bags even if we're in a hurry, we surely can pull over and check why that old man looks lost, we can be nice without expecting anything in return, we can love whoever we want and make them know that, we can think about our own comfort just a bit less, we can do lots of little things that will help us get closer to being human.

I am currently a mix of unfolding dreams, sweet chaos, uncertain future and content soul.

I have no idea what tomorrow holds for me, but today I know for sure that I'm gonna "Carpe Diem" in the most human way and though there's a big chance I'm gonna lose again, I am happy to have met you, you who I have not met yet.

You're lost aren't you?

Good.
