A little too late



Okay, so maybe I'm 3 years behind, but I guess that pretty much sets the tone for what happened in my life these past 3 years. A lot! Let's start at the beginning. I did not follow through with the P90x program, like I had mentioned on my last post (remember that?). And I will explain why...


... Wow, 7 years and 3 months later, here I am (the small paragraph I had written previously was really 4 years ago, so I decided to leave it just for reference and drama)... I completely abandoned this blog which is sad because I thought it was so cool when I first came up with the idea of it, but I guess that´s what it was, I loved the idea but my heart wasn´t really on it. Life got in the way, and let me tell you, it really did.

Who cares, right? It´s been too long, so just forget about it. All right, hold your horses. I´ll make a long story short and it´s my blog, I want to write it and I felt like doing it today. So, bear with me. Please?

Where should I begin? May I just say that it was not smooth sailing. Living with your parents when you´re 18 is one thing, when you´re 29 however, is totally different. Because you´ve changed, you became independent and accustomed to do what you want, how you want and when your want it, you got used to not having to ask permission for anything to anyone, you could go out, sleep over, have one night stands (oh the perks) and then suddenly you discover that your parents have not changed, and that they probably still think of you as their little girl and expect you to act accordingly. Don´t get me wrong, I did not disrespect my parents house just because I thought I could, but I made some mistakes along the way and had to be lectured a little. So, that´s that. OK, what else? Oh, right. Remember my boyfriend, the one I had and was moving in part because of him (I didn't mention him much before but he played a huge part on my decision, in fact he basically gave me an ultimatum since the long distance relationship thing wasn't fun anymore)? Yeah, he broke up with me 6 months after I got back and had found a new job (right around the time that the money I had was all gone too), but he didn´t brake up with me per Se, he broke up with me through my mother (but that´s a story for another post. Maybe).

And that was hard. It was one of the hardest thing I had to go through. Not because of him, actually that was a blessing, but because of the timing, of everything else that was going on in my life, all the changes and disappointments and difficulties. So I threw myself at work, and I made new friends and I was learning new things and was even learning how to live in my country again which had changed a lot in 10 years. But I got through it, I moved past it, I strived and I like to think that I thrived too. I certainly changed, I was forced to become more humble because I had suffered a lot and you can only really mature and grow the hard way.

And after 2 years of this healing process , I was finally ready to love again. I was ready to go right for it heads on, and I needed it, I wanted to find someone badly. I have always been a hopeless romantic and I had to find "the one". So I did. We´ve been together for 5 years now, married for 1, no kids yet but the time is coming, I can feel it, I'm getting ready.

And that´s a wrap. For now. See? That wasn't so hard to endure. But if you want I can tell you more, give you all the dirty details. Check me out later. Hopefully not 7 years later.

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, ...
