Little happenings of the day, thoughts born of a passage of music heard. A little bird chanting outside and the dogs playing in the background. And another new day begins, full of new beginnings and chances to be who you really wanna be. 

The real question here is: are you ready for everything that is already waiting for you? Are you allowing it in your life? If you let me be rawly honest, I don't think so because you're currently reading this. But no need to panic, you are on the right path. 

Take that little cup of tea or coffee lying next to you and repeat out loud with me: I deserve abundance in my life, I forgive myself and I am allowing happiness to enter my life. Easy, right? Now repeat it until you truly believe it within yourself - and remember that you can create the life you always wanted to live and experience. 

Every little happening from today counts, because so many littles together make a whole. 

My task was to convert you and me to us. You were lost when I found you and I was there when you needed me. Lost and found. You were lost when I found you that night in the middle of nowhere. 

You, 
moon of my life.
Lost and
broken. 

But since the moment I first saw you, I knew it was you. I knew it was you the one I would give anything for, anytime. I knew you were the one I would fight for. And today, eight years later, it's still you. And my task to convert you and me to us has been successfully accomplished - but, let me tell you that you made it a lot easier than I thought it would be. 

I love and adore you.

Paella is a typical Spanish dish and it can be made in so many different ways. One of my favorites is adding only veggies and shrimps or tofu. This time I decided to do it with shrimps but I will post one recipe with tofu for you soon enough. 

The following recipe is healthy, has a high nutritive value, is made with fresh ingredients only, and is cooked with love. Once you make it, you will get a special paella bursting with beautiful color thanks to the wonderful variety of vegetables we used - a recipe meant to be shared with the ones you love. 

Let's start! 

INGREDIENTS 

It is forbidden to cry without learning,
to get up in the morning not knowing what to do,
to be afraid of your memories.

It is forbidden not to smile at your problems,
not to struggle for what you want,
to abandon everything for fear
not to turn your dreams into reality.

It is forbidden not to demonstrate your love
to make someone pay for your doubts and ill moods.
It is forbidden to give up on your friends,
not to try to understand what you’ve lived together,
to call them only when you need to.

It is forbidden not to be yourself in front of people,
to be false in front of the people that don’t matter,
to be funny so they will remember you,
to forget about all the people who love you.

It is forbidden not to make things by yourself,
not to believe in God and forge your fate,
to be afraid of life and it’s entanglements,
not to live each day like a final sigh.
It is forbidden to miss someone without being glad,
to forget their eyes, their laugh, everything,
because your paths have quit embracing each other,
forgetting the past and satisfying it with the present.

It is forbidden not to try to understand,
to think that their life is worth more than yours,
not to know that everyone has their own path and their own fortune.

It is forbidden not to create your own story,
not to give thanks to God for your life,
not to have time for the people who need you,
not to understand that what life gives,
it can also take away.

It is forbidden not to search for your happiness.
not to live with a positive attitude,
not to think that we can be better,
not to feel that without you this world wouldn’t be the same.

So sweet, sometimes bitter yet. 

I think I am going insane and, sometimes, I do not even know what to do with myself, what to do with us anymore whenever all those thoughts come back and flood my mind the way they do. 

Everything is so intense now as I write this down - drowning in my own feelings; all those memories giving me goosebumps. But, somehow, we always find our way back to each other. 

Love me or
leave me.
You 
can't have both.
But I can't
let go of you. 

It feels as if there was something, like a superior force, bringing you back to me every time I get courage enough to go on different paths in our lives. And it is then when a little voice within deep in my soul whispers to me to let you in, one more time. 

Maybe, 
we are actually made for each other.
Maybe, 
we are not like other people.
Maybe, 
we need that bittersweet afterglow. 

Let me drown into you.
Let's keep living in this 
so sweet so bitter yet
bubble of us.
Let's keep loving each other
in this bittersweet afterglow.

I think of love, and you,
and my heart grows full
and warm. 

You,
the one who makes
my heart beat as if she
would have never ever before
known how to do so. 

You,
my moon,
my stars,
my whole sky. 

You, 
whom light my path
with that innocent sweet
smile of yours,
every time
you look at me
right in the eyes;
those honey brown eyes of yours
that speaks volumes. 

You,
my sun,
who warms my heart
every time I hear your soft voice,
every time you say those three words
really meaning them;
I LOVE YOU. 

And then I whisper to you
those same three sacred words back
and we hug each other,
we feel each other.
And we remain like that
for a little while. 

I breathe you in,
you breathe me out. 

And we become one,
all over again,
never getting tired of the other,
always wanting more.
Always needing more. 

And then
it is then,
my love,
when my heart grows
full and warm
for you,
all over again.

Darkness and loneliness follow the emptiness  and the only thing I can do to make it a little bit less unbearable is grabbing my phone and call you. Believe me when I say that hearing your voice - even through the phone - it feels like the biggest relief ever - as if my life would depend on it at this point of the journey. 

I just wish I could turn around in my bed - our bed - every night, and find you there, lying next to me, sleeping and quietly and calmly snoring, with a little soft and relaxed smile painted on your pretty face. That moment would be marvelous, the most wonderfully beautiful day of a lifetime, a dream came true. But I also know - you also know - that we can only keep waiting; we can only hope that things will get better soon - we can only hope that everything will turn on our side so we can finally spend every day together like in the past; live in the same city, share a common living status. Share our day by day together - build our own home.
