Everyday happiness

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. It's my own personal treasure.  There isn’t a formula to feel happy just as there isn’t any formula to become a millionaire, but it shure helps to know you can feel happiness. Just like earning some extra money reassures you it is possible to dream about becoming a millionaire for example. Disclaimer: I'm not an expert nor qualified to offer a diagnoses on why you aren't happy and

Bar stories: A normal day in the red circle part 2 This is a continuation story, click here to read the first part of this story. I think Stella has a mind-reading superpower or something, as I was just about to leave she grabbed my arm and told me she wanted to come with so I nodded and smiled at her and told her to go home and wait for everything to get sorted out. I had to calm big guy, my own superpower is to read whenever he wants to break something apart. So a few words were enough for Alex to breathe and he went on his way home. I felt like my mind was going to explode, I didn't do anything yet somehow it felt as if an enormous weight was put on my shoulders. I was walking to my car, I didn't notice but Stella followed and without saying anything she got in the passenger sit. Stella: We need to figure out who did this William: And why was J pressuring us? Stella: I couldn't blame the man, if it were you, you would've done the same. William: I guess but it sure d

Indifference, a step closer to happiness

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

Why I think Youtube is great

Why I think Youtube is great: Youtube Growing up alongside an “imaginary friend” When I was younger I had a couple of close friends, I was always lucky enough to surround myself with great people, I used to do what most kids do, I played a lot of videogames, as I got a little older I couldn't really satisfy my need for playing, I didn't own a gaming pc nor did my family wanted to keep on getting me videogames, but my love for them still persisted so I had to come up with a solution for this problem. I was around 14 or 15 when I discovered Youtube gameplays series and thought this was it. Gameplay series for those who don't know what I'm talking about are a series of episodes where someone (the youtuber or youtubers) play a videogame and talk over it.   I watched them play the videogames I wanted to play but also, and I believe more importantly, they talked about subjects I wanted to talk about and didn't really feel comfortable talking about with other people. I r

Doing the right thing

Chapter of life series: Doing the right thing This subject again... So if you have read my posts before then you understand this is something I struggle with a lot, I believe we all have to do what is right for us. But what exactly is that and how can we tell?   There are times when you can't understand anything from a situation you went through, but then something clicks and you see why that happened. At the moment you just couldn´t see the big picture, it's like you needed a different perspective or the specific angle in order for it to make sense. I know sometimes our actions might not feel like they were the right thing to do but a mistake could potentially be the right choice.  For example:  Let´s assume you have a job, a shitty paying job but a job nonetheless and one day you get anxious and something tells you to quit except you don´t quit because well you need the money. Now what if I told you that “Peter” your co-worker and the one that followed his heart quitted the j

Hard to keep in touch (A letter to my friends):

Chapter of life series: Hard to keep in touch, a letter to my friends I was having a conversation the other day with a friend and I asked about a mutual good friend of ours, the conversation went something like: -Hey bro remember -------, how is he? -Don’t really know, we don’t really talk that much anymore but i saw on Instagram he graduated and is doing well for all I can tell. This conversation went on but as it did I started thinking how much I missed spending time with my friends and the more I grow older the less time I spent with them… I started to wonder, why does this happen? A lot of people might blame social media, as it takes away the need to keep in touch because theoretically we are always up to date and therefore there isn’t a need to talk because we constantly see how they are doing, hence less real interaction occurs. The more I thought about it, the more a questions went unanswered and honestly if I found my friends while walking in the streets I know we would have an

Hopeless

Bar stories : Hopeless Have you ever had a bad day?  I mean one of those days where you feel Murphy's law was based on you?  Imagine someone whose entire life was based on Murphy's law, multiply it by a 100 then you can picture the life of the great Lucky Charles. This is the story of Lucky Charles as told by himself when he went in for a drink here at the Red circle . Now, Lucky Charles was a great human being but unfortunately things just didn’t go right for him, every time he came up with a plan, life just kicked him in the balls and denied him the opportunity to finally make it. Lucky Charles wanted to become a singer, Lucky Charles had and incredible voice, the kind of voice we all believe we have when we are singing in the shower.  Charles was incredibly charismatic and that’s why men wanted to be him and women wanted to be with him, so charismatic that people in general wanted him to succeed. Lucky Charles had a great childhood, his family did his best to give him the be

A normal day in the Red circle

Bar stories : The Red circle, once the greatest gentlemen’s club there was in the city, the place where the people who belonged to the highest level of society aimed to be a part of, was now a place where lowlifes gathered. Mostly to plot for illicit activities and have a good time. Thinking about it actually it really didn’t change much except for … well let’s say the way people carry themselves. The games of poker once were about trying to measure one’s ability to play a part but now the players gambled out of vice which can only lead to bad decision making, for example in more than one occasion people lost everything they had just to prove a point. Something stayed the same, or it could be said, someone stayed the same, the family who ran the establishment the Carters. The Red circle has been passed down generation to generation and nowadays it’s the turn for William Carter jr. Now Sadly for William the place was a real challenge but the Carters... They don’t give up, even if t
