I once thought I had a beautiful future life planed and dreamed for me, as everybody else has:
A good job, marriage, a big family, a divine physical appearance, a fast car, parties, lots of money, being famous... 

     How often do I dream and work toward meeting objectives in order to have one or more of these things achieved in my future?

"Get a job. Go to work. Get married. Have children. Follow fashion. Act Normal. Walk on the pavement. Watch TV. Obey the law. Save for your old age. Now repeat after me: I AM FREE"

    But who assures me that these are the things that will make me feel fulfilled and "happy"? Are my dreams and ambitions really worthy of being called mine?

Unknowingly, my whole life, concepts of beauty, happiness, freedom, were all implanted at some point. Society, government, or whatever is controlling us, with tools such as media, or somewhere along the way... I lost myself!

     And only a couple years ago I realized how much of "me" I really am (Or rather am not), and how little I can be within the limits are imposed.

FREEDOM ? Will I ever be able to call it mine?
Are my dreams, desires, likes and hates really mine or were they the ones implanted by others?

Now I see how brainwashed I've been... Still am... But I'll stop it!

Whatever it takes, even detachment seems like a good option in some sort, into achieving this kind of power, because only then I am free to evolve myself... Who knows, will I attain peace? freedom? Will I then be able to say that  this life as really mine?

      The problem with society at the moment is that in everyday life, people feel more inclined to throw up the middle finger than they do the peace sign...

...they would rather glare at you as an act of intimidation than smile at you as a gesture of love and they are more likely to tell you to fuck off than to have a nice day...

      This is disgusting, horrible and really upsetting and it shouldn't be this way...

I'n our own way we should try to change the world and everyone we meet... Will our effort worth it?

I don't know, but I do care... And a better world with less judgement and hate and more peace and love is totally worth it!

We should start acting with more love in our minds. Let's not be "Humans without humanity".

In the island I live in there is a legend about the origin of two lakes that were formed at the crater of a sleeping volcano. It is called The "Lagoa das Sete Cidades" (The Seven Cities's lake).

 The legend says there was once a blue eyed princess, and the princess hated being inside the castle walls feeling like a caged bird...

So she would run and dance everyday in the meadows and woods. She just loved the green, the birds's songs, the sea in the horizon...

One day she met a humble green-eyed Sheppard boy, and they talked all evening and even found out they had many common interests.

And so they would meet and talk everyday and eventually they fell on love.

But the princess destiny had been decided many years ago, for she was promised to a prince of another kingdom, in arranged marriage.

And as her father, the king, found out she had been seeing a Sheppard boy he immediately and totally forbid  her of ever again talking to him, because he was just a Sheppard from a poor family.

But he granted them one last date, so they could say goodbye, forever.

So they met one last time, they hugged and they cried. 

And they cried so much their tears formed puddles, and as they cried the puddles later turned into two lakes.

One of these, the blue lake, had it's color due to the princess blue eyes.

The other one had it's color from the Sheppard's green eyes.

And now they are forever side by side ...

If you would like to one day get to know this wonderful making of nature you must visit "São Miguel" island, In the Azores Archipelago, Portugal.

I hope you enjoyed reading!

Hugs and kisses,
