Wind of Change?

Here I am, back to my almost abandoned blog. 
After two months and five days without posting here I am, with some questions and thoughts I would love to share with all my readers!


But first of all, I would like to thank everyone who were there in the Visual Jam Halloween party! It was so so crowded! I have no words to thank you guys for the support, and I hope to see you all again on Visual Jam's First Birthday Ceremony, on the 17th, with a very special guest deejaying, DJ Khimaira @ Covil Bar.


Here is the flyer, I think it is very lovely:




Well, moving to what really moved to make this post, I really need a "wind of change". Well, I guess the whole world needs it. I don't mean to be offensive, but, in my point of view, society is getting rotten. I worry about young people mostly. I see no respect what so ever for other people (so much for respecting elderly people, that one is already a mith). I see hatred, people stabbing on each other backs, stepping on the feet of everyone to reach something they want without getting there first. 


What is wrong with humanity?


I know humans were always selfish and greedy... But this? This is beyond unthinkable!
To hear young people wishing someone else they don't even know was dead, disrespecting anyone who just gave an opinion, being aggressive and insult over nothing... It leaves me mesmerized, in the worst way possbile.


I've studied from 5th to 12th grades in troublesome schools, the kind of school some people often could call "ghetto school". It was pretty rough, specially when I was younger, but I understood it doesn't matter status, "race" or rich or poor. Most of people there were not rich at all, they had troublesome lifes in home and of course, at school too. But guess what? They were much nicer, more polite and sincere than most youngsters I see babbling on Facebook now a days. Back then people had values, now a days it seems to be vanished. 


I really cannot point the finger to anyone, I just think technology messed really bad with people's head. Most young people don't care for anything besides their computer with speedy internet connection. Don't get me wrong, I am no technophobic or something, I do appreciate the world of internets and pcs, but my life is much more than that. I do NOT hide behing a computer screen trolling and mocking every living soul I see on a social network. That is so WRONG people. I think those people really have self-esteem problems, they just don't accept themselves as they are, and they jump trolling other people for making up their flaws. It does NOT work. A person who has values, believes in her/himself will not pay any attention to it, as you do. My point here is not to attack anyone, just to express my pity for those kind of people and sincerely hope they grow, hope they get some values and love anything with their heart, not just because it is cool or because their friends do.


Another alarming sign that this society is falling to pieces is the obsession about "looking good". It's not just you thinking you look good. You have really straight patterns now a days to define beauty. 21st Century beauty is what you see on lingerie catalogues. 21st Century beauty are the men and women you see in billboards advertising for some fashion brand. 21st Century beauty is Photoshop. It's enough to open some women targeted magazine you have pages and pages about dissing celebrities, in order to make "ordinary" women feel guilty, like: "She lost a lot of weight and has the perfect waist now", "She just had a baby and is so fit" or "She gained a lot of weight, she really needs to visit the gym". In my head I just think: "What the hell?!" My point of view on this subject: I think if someone really wants to fit the pattern of society and diets and exercises to death is their business, if they feel good and beautiful/handsome doing so, it's really okay. But those people who are not the perfect role model and do not intend to be (like me) please, just leave us alone. Sentences like "Oh you got fatter", "You should really lose some weight" or "You are way more than chubby, fat is not beautiful" are not helpfull, or good intentioned or happily taken! So if you have something like that to say, just say to yourself, in front of your mirror, in your home. PLEASE DO NOT BOTHER OTHER PEOPLE THAT JUST DON'T GIVE A DAMN.
Well I feel good about myself. Yes, I am more than chubby. I am what you consider a fat girl. So what? 
Tipic trolling on street, social network, etc:
"You are fat!!" 
"Yes I am. So what?"
"You look huge!" 
"Yes, I am fat, you wanted me to look thin?"
Do you think it lowers my self esteem any tiny bit? Oh you are so wrong. This is what a confident person looks like. It does not take me down, I see my own beauty, if you don't see it, oh, too bad, but I am not spending the night crying over it, sorry. 
Concluding this, you calling me fat is the exact same thing you saying to me that the sky is blue. It's simply a fact!


The last thing I am going to talk about tonight, the third sign I see about the self desctruction of mankind is the "agnostic" point of view. Most people no longer believe in anything. It's scary to me, because I always had a faith, always been told that when everything is dark, hope and faith will, eventually get us out of there. I am pagan for seven years now, but this faith always was such an important part of myself. 
The thing I mostly search for it's not happiness. It's Balance. Because, without a balanced life and values, I believe no one reaches happiness. Because balance is the strong base for being happy. I cannot consider myself a fortunate person, lately things are not going well at all for me, which makes me feel really sad and depressed and think about what's wrong with me, and what is wrong with humanity. Because the way things are built now a days, it is suffocating, ripping us off of any possibility reaching happiness. But I will not let myself be down, I will go up and on my way searching for the perfect balance for my life, and my friends will always be there, so I am really thankful to the gods!
