To feel useful, is the most grateful feeling ever. Some say is to get high, others say the same about getting drunk, having orgasms, shopping, sleeping, driving, eating, reading.... But, from my "vast" life experience, I say that the strongest and most comforting feeling is to be useful, but there's a problem on being useful. You can't say no to someone who asks for your help, even if the only thing you want from that person is distance. You just can't say no. You become altruist, and begin to think first about others, and only then in yourself. You start living a life that it's not yours any more...

Day 20, 11 of September - Like a book.
Our life is like a book. It has a
plot, setting, themes chapters and characters. It has a beginning and an end.
The chapters can be compared to the steps we take in our lives. The people we
meet are the characters: some are main characters,others just extras that can
have an important presence, but just for a few 'pages'. The themes may depend
on our state of mind, our actions, our decisions, and even the decisions that
others (the extras perhaps) make but somehow mess with our lives too. Every
page is a day that always have
consequences on our future life, and whenever we read a page, we can no longer
pretend it doesn't exist, like the choices we make and the days that pass. The
same happens with the characters and, in a bigger scale, with the chapters. If
we did a bad choice that had bad consequences, even if it was just for a few
moments, we can't erase it from our past. Just like a page, or even a few lines
in a vast sea of words. But there's a huge gap between our life and a book:
when you star reading a book, the end is already written...
Still, sometimes I wish my life was
a book, so I could read some chapters over and over again, until I knew them by
heart.

Day 19, 6 of July - Motherf*ing Distance
If I could choose one super power, would be to be able to teleport. Yeah, I'm kind of selfish, I wouldn't ask to be able to feed everyone on this planet, or even to be strong and fast enough to end war.
The first time I saw "Jumper" I thought it was an idiot movie, but now I understand the vantages of teleporting, that I'll show you in this map: Europe:
England: Mulford Family
Germany: Eliane, Lisa, CATARINA (just now)
Swiss: Jolanda, Andreas, Livia,
Norway: so many...
Portugal: so many..........
North America: Dazzle, Kimberly, Jessica, Emma.
Brasil: Nathaly
One day, I'll have my private jet, one day... (:
