Colors

As I get older I realize, everyday more, writing is part of me, or I'd say part of what I need to feel good with myself.  I don't really like to expose my ideas to people openly, I don't enjoy exposing myself to people day-by-day but when the night comes I feel like I need to put it all out, as if I need to give myself a brief opportunity to share what's within. The questions is with whom.  As I got older I realized maybe a diary could help, why not a blog then?  And that's how it's been since I've felt this urge to write, I constantly build and destroy my blogs. I'm always re-giving myself the opportunity of sharing my thoughts and when my mind believes there is more than enough of me exposed I go and give myself the opportunity of going blank, I erase.


Nowadays, there is just about too many things I don't agree with in the world, way too many things that bother me and which I can't comprehend.  I'm a dreamer.  I'm a believer.  I dream and I believe.  I'm a little naive with certain things and growing up has shown me life is not always good, or fair as people would say.  I remember clearly that a few years ago, when I looked to the outside world I used to see the good in everyone, the good in all.  I used to believe everybody was nice, that nothing could or would go wrong.  It was all colorful.  Now, all I see is gray.  Somewhere along the road things lost their colors, or maybe I left it at some point.  I'm no longer a child and I've never imagined I'd think this kinda sucks.  It doesn't really suck.  


Where are all those colors I used to see in things tho?  They were naturally there, and now, I just feel that if I don't paint them they'll remain gray, forever.  I must paint my world, is that it?  Why is everything so colorless?  Actually it's like I can naturally see less colors, or a bad combination of colors.  Am I seeing wrong?  Is it something with my eyes?  


I'm looking forward into seeing life more colorful, I'm hoping I'll see a more colorful world, even if I have to put my own colors to it.  If that's what growing up does to us, okay, I'll do what I got to do hoping I can do it in a way other people can see and feel the same joy I do when I put colors into life.  May life allow me to color other people's lives just as I color mine, because I don't know how to live in a gray world, I can't live in a gray world...


I will NOT live in a gray world...


I will not, really.

  1. Find your colors within you... There's isn't such thing as looking outside for it.

    If you're able to do so, you'll be painting the world with YOUR colors, and not the other way around...

    And I really think you should write in portuguese... or this is just a way to keep your closest ones out of it? ;)

    count on me!
