Brave.

I used to pour all of my heart into my blogs. Everyone knew what was going through my mind and my life. It was my understanding that was what a blog was for, it was like a journal, something I have always kept ever since a very early age. That changed a bit as I got older and I turned the volume down a bit in what concerned my personal affairs…

A couple of years ago something important but terrible happened in my life and it just felt natural to share, because I was seriously hurting, and I never thought that there existed people who could take advantage of that to hurt me even further. Well, ever since then I keep my private life to a minimum when it comes to this blog. Sometimes it may seem like it’s the other way around, but trust me, it isn’t.

Yesterday I got terrible news. The kind of news that took me back to what happened before. And because I know there are also good people out there, I’m sharing this… One of my aunts, my parents sister-in-law, died yesterday. She was sick. It was a tumor, what else. I can’t say it feels the same as before, because it’s just not the same. But it still hurts. Not to mention her daughter, a 24 year old girl was one of my closest cousins… And my heart aches for her. I feel very sorry for her.

It goes without saying that the instant this happened my thoughts were in a whirlwind and culminated on both my parents. If something like this were to happen to any of them, and I am not the kind of person who shakes it off by saying “it will never happen, everything will be fine”, I would be absolutely devastated. To say the very least. But I cannot dwell on it. And I won’t.

Everything is just terribly sad and depressing.

I am sorry to welcome November like this. But that’s life. Nothing can be done.

I am finishing this post with a Brave quote, that I feel is somehow appropriate to all this situation.

There are those who say fate is beyond our command, that destiny is not our own.
But I know better.
Our fate lives within us, you only have to be brave enough to see it.

And that’s that.

Enjoy the latest photos and have a nice Sunday.
