Happiness & love disclaimer

"I love you and all that matters to me is that you're happy"

What we don't know about this is that:

* I want you to stay close to me

* Don't fall in love with some one I don't approve or like

* Don't take risky moves in life

* Don't quit your safe job

* Don't fall in love with someone else 

* Don't do that because it's a potential mistake

* Don't go there, it's not safe

* Don't get married now, you're too young

* Don't go out with your friends that often

* Don't always tell me the truth, only when it's nice

* ________________________________

Feel like you could go on filling in this list?

I'm sure you can. 

The selection of "don'ts" is variable, depending if it's a boyfriend/girlfriend's, mum's or friend's disclaimer.

Those are the things we don't say and we're not told about. 

It's a beautiful thought- all that matters to us is that the one's we love are happy. But can we live up to that? Because sometimes it means accepting things that won't necessarily make us happy, especially if we know (we feel we know, actually we assume and think we know) we're right.

Next time you say all you want is for someone to be happy please make sure you show them the disclaimer so that there are no misunderstandings later on. Ooh, and don't forget to also ask for the disclaimer when you hear that!

This is not a joke!

Back in the game on April Fools' Day...not the most serious day! So I want to make sure that I let you know-what I write today is not a joke...I mean it, every word.

The reason I haven't been writing is Chris Guillebeau, to be more precise a chapter of his book, and the reason I am writing again is Chris Guillebeau and his latest post  http://chrisguillebeau.com/3x5/the-family-who-doesnt-understand/

I am seriously upset with Chris. He seems to be the spokesman of my thoughts and sometimes my own blog feels pointless when I read my thoughts on his blog. *Is it too late to say that this is a joke after stating at the beginning that I mean every word???OoopS*.

Two things happened in the same time. I got to the chapter where Chris reminds the readers of the two most important questions in the world 1. What do you  really want to get out of life 2.What can you offer the world that no one else can?
The second thing was, a friend asking me why am I writing this blog and what do I want to get out of it?

The questions that Chris asks, for me apply to everything that I do. They're relevant for all the tiny little pieces that construct the incredible mosaic (at times very complicated and blurry) called- "My life".
That includes my blog.

I felt like the centipede that was an incredible dancer. In case you don't know the story:
The centipede was an incredible dancer and all the little insects came to see it dance. One day after the performance another centipede approached and asked: "You are an incredibly skilled dancer. Could you tell me do you first move the 63rd leg and then the 95th, or is the 96th and then the 43rd?.....The following day the centipede couldn't move a single leg!

After facing those questions that's exactly how I felt. At that time it felt right to find the answers to the questions, and without even noticing I stopped writing.

Today I was reminded why I started writing my blog: To follow the process- my search for those answers. I started it because I love sharing experiences. And I LOVE to do that through writing.

And I'm baaaaaaaaaaack *Hurray,Hurray*.
Stay tuned to meet Sever the cutest Roma beggar that made my soul smile and cry all at the same time.

P.S I will go as a fire(wo)man today. I thought that my pupils might become all too excited if I go as a witch and find a confirmation of their fears :D
