For the New Year to be new

Nothing is forever. The time will come when we must say goodbye to the world we knew, goodbye to everything we had taken for granted, goodbye to those we thought would never abandon us. And when these changes finally do occur, when the familiar has departed and the unfamiliar has taken its place. All any of us can really do is to say hello and welcome.
Happy New Year!

Message


Despite the fact that there are over two million people on the island of Montreal, there are times you still feel shipwrecked and alone. Times even the most resourceful survivor would feel the need to put a message in a bottle, or on an answering machine.

Sins and Doubts

There is a widely read book that tells us everyone is a sinner. Of course, not everyone feels guilt over the bad things they do. In contrast, there are those who assume more than their share of the blame. There are others who soothe their consciences with small acts of kindness... or by telling themselves their sins are justified. Finally, there are the ones who simply vow to do better next time, and pray for forgiveness. Sometimes, their prayers are answered.
The trick is to keep moving forward, to let go of the fear and the regret that slow us down and keep us from enjoying a journey that will be over too soon. Yes, there will be unexpected bends in the road, shocking suprises we didn't see coming... but that's really the point, don't you think?

Trust


It's not enough to want to the truth. You must know where to look for it. And the truth is elusive, because it knows where to hide.
Once trust is lost, it can be impossible to recover. Of course the truth is: we never know who we can trust. Those we're closest to can betray us, and total strangers can come to our rescue. In the end, most people decide to trust only themselves. It really is the simplest way to keep from getting burned.I chose not to do it.I choose to keep searching for it, in every person I meet, in every morning, from the moment I leave the trusting comfort of my bed.

Comment je pourrais te dire?

It sounds the title of a song,but it is much more than that.
Felt like I could never stop looking back, but when you wonder why you look back it is easier to look forward.It is a just a matter of finding the answers.
Silly enough to understand why people keep dragging you into experiences that look like an endless loop.This won't make your life easier, just makes you feel like you are in a rollercoaster.
But what is stability?
Nothing is stable in life.Even life is not there to be taken for granted.
A way to look forward when your past is so present?
There is no past here, we tend to look back and forget why what is in the past is there and should be kept there.
We have all opportunities, every single day, to make it different.
We choose the same seats in the coffee shop,we watch the same shows,we order the same meals...
Well,that's it,looking at this delicious cup of iced tea I say goodbye to "black,two sugars" and breathe deeply to the future I want.
