Time is flying by...


      First I need to apologize for not posting my first blog on the 10th, which is exactly 30 days from my trip, I had everything nice and typed, but never got a chance to do it. And it would totally mess up the whole story if I had changed it to post it correctly. So, I'm sorry...
       But that explains the reason behind the post for today. How time is going by so fast and I'm finding less and less of it to get done everything I need to. Starting with my job. I do have a job, by the way, and right now I am completing my 30 days notice. I still have to finish some tasks before my last day, which will be on the 29th of this month, and here I am, writing this post.
       Moving is not an easy thing to do, even if you're going from one street to the next, let alone going to another country. There are things that need to be taken care of, like cancellation of credit cards, closing bank accounts, canceling insurance, gym membership, paying the bills so nothing is left behind, selling your car, etc... And this has been taking a lot of my time, my patience and mental health. I'm really stressed out, to put it mildly! Even when you think everything is going according to plan, you can't help but doubt, worry, and feel completely overwhelmed. And the worst of it is, that I can't seem to focus well enough. It's like I'm being held back by some really strong arms and I feel I can't move. I guess it's normal to feel this way, however I cannot wait for things to happen on their own. I gotta move my ass, finish my work (which I will as soon as I'm done writing this), make a list of things to do and go from there. Yeah, that's all!
       Easier said than done...
       What I'm really worrying about is money, and not having enough of it. The decision of leaving everything behind: my job, my car, my life, and starting over, was based solely on wanting to live close to my family and my boyfriend, and living in my country which it's what I know and what I love. It was not because I got a better job, or I made a ton of money here in the U.S and now I'm loaded and can just live off of it. No, not at all! I wish... I didn't even have enough money saved, but I know I can manage with what I have. It's just that, it's not gonna last forever, and it makes me wonder if I'll be able to get by with it... I know I will, but as much as I try to stay positive and be optimistic, reality can sink in pretty fast. And although, as you know, I'll be living with my parents and they are supporting my decision all the way, I can't help but freak out a little.
       All right, I seriously need to get back to work now. And get back to my worries and concerns. And hopefully I'll have time to post this soon...

New life, new body

      So because I'm moving back home, and it's spring now in Brazil with summer coming soon, I decided to start a new routine of exercises and diet. Not only because of that, I'm also a little unhappy with my figure, and even though I'm at a "normal" weight, I feel it wouldn't hurt to lose a few pounds and gain a little self-esteem. For those who know me, I'm always unhappy with the way I look, always complaining about something, feeling fat, and ugly and whatnot. And the worst of it is, I hate being so cliche, but it's part of my personality I guess. I do watch what I eat, most of the time, and I try to exercise (I go to the gym at least once a week, I know, sad...) even though I hate it. But sometimes you come to a point where you either do something about it, or stop the bitching! I decided to do something, since I've always wanted to look fit, and not feel embarrassed to wear a bikini, especially when I LOVE the beach. It's my favorite...

  Why I’m Returning to Writing at 44 When I first had the idea for this blog, I was a different woman. I was 29, full of plans and dreams, excited about moving back to my home country carrying what I believed were new layers of wisdom and experience. I felt more mature, more prepared, better equipped for life. Looking back now, I can see I was a little naïve — but that realization came slowly. I went through a heartbreak. I realized I didn’t have as much professional experience as I thought I did. Having earned a degree abroad and learned another language didn’t automatically place me on some higher level. I was simply another candidate in the job market, and I would have to start from the bottom, gain real experience, and build my way up. That was the first shock. But I didn’t curl up and stay there. I chose to see the end of that relationship as a blessing in disguise. I worked. I learned. I stayed humble. I changed jobs, climbed step by step, and eventually began to feel pro...

Hello!

Oh my goodness, would you believe if I told you that I have completely forgotten about this blog? Why on earth?! I really wish I had continued this, that I had wrote more, even if about stupid things, but I gotta tell ya, I´m feeling real glad re-reading all my 5 posts and going like "what was I thinking?". LOL. Seriously, it´s funny. I guess I was naive or didn´t really have an identity, maybe I was trying to find myself. Or maybe I was just trying to put my thoughts in writing, like a little journal. I don´t know... But I guess it was enough to make me want to write today. Do people still do that? Blog? Or is it just vlog now that´s more interesting or going on tik tok and I guess shout to the world whatever nonsense. I don´t know, I´m old fashioned, I don´t even have a tik tok account. I like to write. So, lets see, where to begin...   Ok, it´s been 8 years since I last posted anything. We´ve been through a pandemic, so there was life before that and life after that. Yes, ...
