First of all, I'm so so so so sorry for the lack of posts the last four days. Really, with the holidays coming, everything has been like a roller coaster. Buying gifts, family dinners, friend reunions, etc have stolen all of my free time.

I wanted to wish everyone the best holidays ever. The best christmas, and, the best wishes and hopes for next year. I don't think I will be able to blog for quite a long time. I hope I can, but honestly, I don't think so. I'm leaving for vacations on the 26. I return January 16. If I find time, I will blog. I sware.

I hope all of you are having a lot of fun and mostly giving back this christmas. Giving back love to your families and friends. Just, giving and receiving love. Simply, finding the happiness in front of us. And being grateful for all the things we have.

Don't have limitations for next year. You can either choose to live fenced in the boundaries you created, or choose to live crossing them. I advice you cross them. I advice you live as much as you can, to not regret, to not forget everything happens for a reason, that things untold are equal to unexisting, to not waste our times in nonsense, and to remember nothing is impossible and that we only live once.
Choose to be as good as you can. Don't settle for less than you deserve. Love, and love more.
Give thanks to all you think have helped you or made you better in any way, ask for help to those you admire and believe to be the best, and change who you can.
Forgive. This is the time of the year of forgiving and letting go. Of just saying , 'I love you, after all'. Don't hold grudges. Leave that for next year.

As for myself, I have to say, I love christmas. It is my favorite holiday. I just love the way the air feels, the ambient, the simply happy vibe of the people. I love decorated trees and houses, I love songs in stores, I love buying gifts for everyone and receiving them, I love lighting the fireplace and falling sleep with hot chocolate. Snow. The way people greet you all the time, and the way we all choose to forget our worries and responsabilities to just feel the moment. I love the way everything feels in general. Reuniting with family, and having sleepovers with old and new friends, is just amazing. Amazing how we forgive, love and rejoy over having the possibility to be together for yet another year.

This year, things have changed. It has been one full of unexpected news, new learnings, new beginings and new friends as well as for new philosophies and space for new things. Such as this blog. A year ago, I would have never found myself either having a blog nor writing the things I do. A year ago, everything was different. A year ago, I never realized the importance of rasing my voice. But now I do. And am so happy to be doing so. Even if there are only a few people reading, at least someone is. And it feels sooo good. Soo good to know, that I can come here and write every time I feel like it, and every time I'm looking for a safe haven. This blog is not all of me; but it is part of the process of creating myself. Sometimes, it represents not what I am but what I wish I were. It is a place for aspirations, expectations and faith. A place were nothing bad can happen, and were only good things are created.

I hope you have enjoyed reading it as much as I have enjoyed writing it.

Thanks for listening to what I have to say; and don't forget I'm always here in case you want to share something.

Merry Christmas, and happy new year;
