I ended the year that has just passed with a reflective post, in this community; which is my favorite in all of HIVE..... And, obviously I couldn't start this 2024, in any other way than right here in Weekend Experiences. In fact, it had been clear to me for a long time. For that reason, I waited a few days, so it wouldn't be perceived as spam or inappropriate. I am still somewhat new to some things within Hive, especially those that have to do with "etiquette codes" or "good manners". Every human action has them, and I'm still a learner....
Now, in this year that is just beginning, I want to accomplish many of the things; that especially became possible, thanks to the change of attitude that I had in these past 365 days... First of all, to give a playful and pleasant sense to my life.... You see, I have already uploaded a post where I explain the point of view of both working and earning money, as a real "objective" of our existences, however, it is no less true that many times we witness how the lack of pleasure, of joy but above all of relaxation makes everything a kind of vicious circle. Where working is an automatic act but the reward of pleasure seems to have no place.
A mistake, from my point of view, because life does not make the slightest sense if there is not something else that gives it an added value. And no, I am not referring to having children, getting married or acquiring a house in the real estate market... But to the personal, subjective and essential search that is to find that which only gives us the sensation of marveling. In my case, there are several things, but fundamentally three: writing, taking pictures, and going out to do what I have not done before... This post was born, at least its main idea, from the observation...
My parents, neighbors, even my partner, had only one goal in mind: to earn more and more money. No matter what that entails. The paradoxical thing, is that, what would they do once they managed to reach the money? I feel like they would have an interesting dilemma there..... And that reflection made me have, even more present in my mind, the valid idea of leaving behind the pettiness to myself and start living life. As only a coffee, at the end of an afternoon, on a beautiful terrace somewhere with a beautiful atmosphere can provide. A caress to the soul. Like several of the places I have reviewed and shown you in my passage through this necessary and great community.
I do not want my expectations to remain in a constant state of longing. Nor do I wish to become some kind of unscrupulous hedonist, but to find the time and the disposition to do that which is only meant to bring me happiness and pleasure. There is no point in accumulating regrets and sighs of sadness. Youth, for me, is not marked in the digits that detail the age but in the constancy of being able to be frank with yourself and to slow down the bitterness that eliminates all possibility of creativity and perspective. In other words, to look for everything that makes me happy, no matter at what age or at what time I have to do it.
I have posted these lines here, because I have planned that these experiences (with high probabilities) will take place during the weekends. Time in which I can balance the responsibilities of being a single mother, working in a company from Monday to Saturday and partner of a human being that will also demand time... As you can see, not everything is idyllic, but excuses, I try not to make them part of my vocabulary. And as you might also guess, I have no problem admitting that I refuse to let the cynicism that only victimhood can offer, dominate the course of my life.
To think, eat, laugh, enjoy, cry, surprise myself, dance, etc, are some of the things I plan to achieve in this 2024, and obviously, within a magical context as only weekends can provide. In the cover photo, and inside this post, are the pillars of my life: my family. People who with an unconditionality that is incredible will be for me, always, and I hope for them too. Nothing of what I aspire to here, would make sense without them.... Because this is also the search for happiness, to find the interpreters that give meaning to that feeling. I hope to be happy, and I hope to be as happy as humanly possible.
This is a statement of intent, and substantial proof that my wish can become a reality. All photos were taken on Sunday, December 31, 2023, the last day of the year, and last weekend as well... And yes, I was happy... And yes, they are also of my total authorship.
I love how you express yourself through your content, I hope you can achieve everything you have set out for this 2024, friend.
Oh my, thank youu!! Your words are so kind that makes me sensitive about it. Hope you liked what I've wrote.
To say that I liked it, no, in reality I loved it 😊
Oh, thanks, thanks I appreciate your words.
Whatever will be, just be you. And the best you 😊
You have no idea how much I loved this comment. Thank you so, so much, darling.
I liked going through your content and being able to find that inner part of a person reflected in terms of reflecting on December dates where one year ends and another begins. What makes us better people every day is being able to have those spaces or moments to internalize and focus on improving or changing what is necessary.
Greetings and blessings. ¡Happy new year!
Thank you, love! I'm amazed for those kind and lovely words of yours... I hope you've found my post interesting and useful. When I write the only goal I really want to accomplish is being truthful to me. If I can reach that, I considerate a completely failure... Once again, thanks for stopping by, hun and I hope to meet again, soon.
