Originality and Contribution to the world

 Whenever I sit and think of what I would want to do if I started a business, I just do not know and I start to categorize what sells and yet ask myself what do I have to offer that would sell. One thing as humans that we have that is invaluable is time, and many businesses know this and capitalize on it. Take a look around your space or anyone's space that you walk in, you will see a lot of stuff. It does not matter its use but there is a bunch of stuff all around them that was produced by someone whose time which many corporations use to make so much profit of, even if we were to make machines mass produce a bottle that is near or a coaster, a note pad we still need people today to produce cheap labor even though there are machines that can mass produce countless items. So, this got me thinking that the most important thing as a person I have is my time and that applies to you dear reader. The time you take to read these sentences can never be given back to you, you can earn money at any business and that money can either be spent, stolen and even taken back from you but the time you spent spending it anywhere can never be taken back. 

So, dear reader, remember that every single day you have make sure to do something just for you. Something you do with intention, I understand life can sweep us up and we just have to wake up and go go go. In the end there are countless days that will never be remembered, the food we had the time spent walking to our cars from one place to another because you have to keep moving. In that moment where you are moving think of you and take a breathe for yourself to just seize a few minutes, seconds just for you. 

Sewing Machine

After many years of wanting a sewing money, I got one from my friend. Since getting the machine I did not open it, I got the sewing machine 4 or 5 weeks ago, when I got it I was extremely happy. I got sick for a few weeks, and then the Holiday was upon us, so I ended up not creating an area to sew. 

The reason I am writing about getting this sewing machine is because one of my dreams was to become a seamstress as a child, I was inspired as a tiny human when I would get fitted for my school uniform. I would have my uniforms tailor made and I was so fascinating about this that I thought that was what I wanted. To have the different shades of whites, or even the different fabrics in the shade of white and feeling the fabric on my skin made me fall in love with making my own clothing and even making it for people. 

The idea was always a fun sweet pleasant dream, but I never took initiative into learning more than sewing buttons or even sewing a tear in my jeans. When I told my family how excited I was about that Idea, back then it was this idea that I should become a nun to devote my life to god, a doctor to help the sick, a lawyer to right the wrongs of the world or an engineer which I think was inspired by my uncle. My mom thought I was so smart and could put my abilities to better use than to become a seamstress. 

Looking back, I thought the adults were right, I felt safe and knew they would not push me towards a path that would be the "wrong one" and given Ill admit that I should have fought more for the little things, but it got to the point where I felt bad for being a rebellious child. I tend to be a quiet kid, but would say slick things here and there and each time I would say something that was against what they would say I felt like I was not being grateful. As a child, my parents did not spank me which was something that was done, and I would not be chastised. I would hear the stories and thought how great I had it and I should be grateful to them, and of course my grandpa back then always told me when the time came I would shine doing anything I set my mind to. 

I am very excited to have time to pick up a hobby, and dip my toes and enjoy doing the small passion projects. I look forward to sharing my journey, and what I have made. 

Humor Matters

 We all love to laugh, it feels great, and is a great thing that allows us to share in moments together where we can feel something that is positive. 

I think it is very important to find moments to chuckle, smile and laugh out loud as we write in our messages to friends and family. Whenever a person responds LOL do you ever wonder if they actually laughed out loud or mentally thought "ha, quint" and responded LOL. Of course, that will call for some attention towards us as we walk, and all of a sudden start to laugh, but that moment could have inspired another person to smile as well, I personally do not think we should just resort to sending that quick LOL message. Go for it and actually laugh out loud and take a moment, and then respond LOL instead of not allowing yourself to feel that feeling.

 I know its not easy to do, but heck its better than keeping it in, have you ever thought to keep a journal to write the times you laughed or smiled? Who were you with, and track over a period of time the positive moments to reflect and see how much time you spent not laughing. Yes, I am special to think this way but we are all special in our own ways, and we need to allow ourselves to see the world that we forgot to notice as we go each day in our little routines robotically. And I think routines are great, that is not to say they are not good, I have a friend that goes to the gym religiously and has the body to show for it. She can eat all she wants and still look amazing, so I know and can say that is the greatest thing. . but I think for me that is, there are times that I would allow the tides to take me and I would lose track of life, and times and then that time passed. I can never get it back. 

And so I think it is good that we find humor in each day to allow ourselves to smile, or chuckle and have those wistful smiles. 

We need to find the interesting things, and blend them all and make happy little memories that can put a smile in the future. We need to walk with each step with a smile, not a frown. 

The importance of smiling, laughing should not get lost to us as we age, as we go about our days to check off that box. I sometimes think about "resting witch face" I do not know if I can use curse words, or should but I used to hear that some people just have it. To then realize, I did not smile, nor did I have that pleasant look. I looked brooding, pensive, or just unapproachable. Oddly, I think I wanted that in my life back then, It helped I think. When I was that person I was in such a dark place in life, just hearing a cup fall at school would make me feel scared. I remember each picture I took, I just never wanted to see that picture because, you know, when they say you can smile through your eyes? I did not have that sparkle nor were my eyes smiling. I know how crappy some things in life can be, and I guess me writing this is not to say, turn that frown upside down in a patronizing way. I am writing this because when getting over those dark times in my life, I had to remind myself to smile at the things I found funny. I wanted to remind anyone to allow yourself to enjoy the moments in life that come, instead of just allowing that moment to pass without thoroughly enjoying it. A phone call with a friend, a sweet delicious treat, or a crunchy pickle. 

Enjoy the small joys as they do matter, every single little happy moments add up to memories for the future that will live forever with you. Those moments matter and make up the story of your life, and we might as well make it a good one. 

A Short walk

Since the outbreak of this pandemic, I have limited my outings as much as possible. I do not feel sad, or angry but pretty rejuvenated. This is the first time in some time that I actually have gotten the most sleep and the most time I have spent in a rented apartment for sometime.

Even though I am feeling well rested, I feel restless and for that reason I decided to pace to and from my kitchen to the bathroom. I have a pretty short hall way which each morning I get up and put my headsets on and start walking till it is 7:20 pm or 7:35 to shower and start my day. . during those walks I notice the floor skirt, the pictures I have had up for some time, and the thoughts I am left with the evaluate how I am and what is going on in my head. Sometimes, I put music or an audible book but most of the time it starts with my brain waking up a little and to review what I am feeling and how I am doing. Those short walks give me the time to breathe, and reflect on my relationships with my friends, my family and with myself.

I normally would go on a walk before this pandemic, but when I would go for a walk I would need to hurry up to get going to go and rush to shower and head over to work, but when I take a walk in the house I feel like I am revisiting my own mind to see where I am and is this where I want to be and in those small walks I realize the little things that I am so grateful for, and yet I think of all the things that are not going well in the world and that have not been going well. This pandemic should open our eyes not for just this year, this month or this day but for future years to come.

I feel like each and every human being in this planet is a super hero and we need to wake up, take a walk in our own house and visit each spot to familiarize ourselves with our own homes and to get a better understanding of the house, ourselves and the world. We can no longer just live without opening our eyes, will you take a walk with me tomorrow, or the day after and think some things that needs to be thought of and plan. Let us do this and make some thing happen not just for now but for many years to come.

Starting Here Day 1

Today I decided to write, I do not know if blogging is the right way to go about what is on my mind, but I guess this is as good a start as anyone can wish to get.

If you turn on your TV this very minute, so many things are happening all over, it seems that we are stuck in the happenings. Yep, I wrote the Happenings. I do not know how else to describe them in a way that is unique to me.

It sounds mildly light, but dear reader they are nothing light, they are serious matters. It  has always made me frown a little when something grievous is happening, and that is when everyone is too quick to act in the height of emotions. I am not writing about just one event happening but several throughout the globe.

We as human beings need to take a stand, in our personal life and in the lives of others. We can not let our emotions rule us, we as a race need to unite and stand tall and strong and fight together for good. For change, for a world where we all can live in peace, we seem to not understand that there are more than one way of fighting other than picking up a gun. We can fight by dreaming, by living up to what you set forth for your life. Fight to be the better you for a better world not just for you but your children and humanity all over.

Do not set aside any weapons you may have, no matter what kind of weapon it is, but use each one to its best before picking up the other. Our words can cut such deep wounds and yet inspire so many, our actions has built tall buildings that seem to reach for the sky and machines that no human could have imagined could take them to the moon 100 yrs ago.

There will always be something that we man find to complain about, we always will find something. But never should we complain of lack of food, lack of education. Those things gives people the chance to become something more and add to society, those things help us as a human race grow. Teach one another.

I am just another human being just as you who cares to start by writing and saying enough, this has gone for too long. Generations upon generations have passed, and we have grown from where we were. But there is more that we could achieve,we have so much potential.

We can all do it by being the best us, it starts with you, it can't happen overnight but it can start here.
