Chapters of life : Everyday happiness One of the best phrases I've ever heard in a movie was: “Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift, that’s why it’s called the present”. Now I think this is such a beautiful way to look at life, I was left astounded when I heard it. I admire how easy it is for some people to look at any situation and still keep a positive mindset. Of course there are some situations where everything seems dark and it's understandable, I have to be thankful with how my life has been, I've been truly lucky and I appreciate every moment of it.

I believe there is no real answer to a question like that, we all have our time periods to find the answer, some of us make take a lifetime to find the answer, some may find it in their teenage years and I suppose it's also possible we may never find the proper answer to the question. I guess what I'm trying to say is that eac

Chapters of life : Indifference, a step closer to happiness Everyday I have been feeling like I'm just existing, don’t get me wrong though because I don’t feel sad either. I call this feeling “Indifference”. Lately I have felt days are the same, I´m beginning to actually understand what the Rolling Stones meant with their song “Satisfaction”. I started thinking about it and it's all about perspective. Take this situation for example: Not too long ago there I was on the subway at 6am on my way home from work. My daily commute here in Buenos Aires, includes a subway ride. As it is common I don´t usually encounter many friendly faces and this day wasn´t any different but then a flashback occurred, I remembered the subway at 10am when I had to work the day shift for a few extra hours instead of the usual night shift and suddenly I was the only one with a smile on my face that day. Let me explain, I know waking up at 6am feels terrible but it could be worse. We could be riding the s
