You know those things about yourself that you’re self conscious of? Those quirks that you’re trying to hide? Those are not your weaknesses, those are your strengths.

How glorious it is, and also how painful, to be an exception.

Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential and fight for your dreams.

~Ashley Smith

I decided I won’t be delaying my dreams anymore. I made that decision after standing still and seeing a lot of people living my dream as I stood in the same place. I’ll focus on my objectives (even if they seem ridiculously distant and impossible). A decision like this is something that you must practice everyday and on many moments you just want to give up. Even when it seems like nothing cooperates and everything that happens takes away your opportunities and courage, go on, keep going. It’s best to live with a distant dream then live without even trying to achieve it.

“Concentrate on your dreams because everything else is just background noise.”

Flickr is such a great place to get inspiration! I found this great photographer that makes such amazing photos! My favourites are photographs with a beautiful girl which I believe to be her sister. You might have seen some of her photos around the web already but there are plenty more of her work on flickr.

Saudade – a Portuguese and Galician word for a feeling of nostalgic longing for something or someone that one was fond of and which has been lost. It often carries a fatalist tone and a repressed knowledge that the object of longing might never really return. It was once described as “the love that remains” or “the love that stays” after someone is gone.
