In the last days I have been making the same reflections about what is enough and as a consequence I noticed that things like luxury and status are in fact illusions created to deceive the fools.

I think the concept of happiness that many people believe in and preach about is wrong, I am talking about the concept which says that happiness is all or nothing, if you get a good job you will be happy, if you get a healthy relationship you will be happy, if you buy the house of your dreams you will be happy, I don't think that's how it works, I believe happiness is not a consequence of just one thing, that's stupid. For me it's much more adequate to think that each thing brings its fraction of happiness, I believe happiness is the sum of a lot of things, it can be for example a good job, a healthy relationship, good friends, a good health, a good place to live, healthy hobbies and so on, I believe all these things can play its own role into building someone's happiness, each thing bring a certain amount of happiness, so, stop accepting happiness as a sort of black and white thing, that leads to unhappiness itself.

I never thought I would find a fast easy listening song, but here it is, and I actually loved it, everytime I listen to it, it reminds me of a pursuit scene of a 60's or 70's movie, an action scene with fast cars, I could see it in a James Bond movie, it's indeed a beautiful, elegant and fun song to listen to.

What a dramatic environment, running through the cliff among the boulders, it's like each scene is a distinct painting, the Snow Leopard is indeed the most unique of the big felines, no wonder it's getting so much popularity in the last years.

One of most important things that art has taught me is to value the beauty of the existence of each thing. As you get more mature in artistic terms you start to notice the importance of each thing, each situation, each moment, everything matters and you learn that ignoring and damaging things affect the world around you much more than you thought.

This is one of the songs a former friend recommended to me, we used to talk a lot in 2022. Everytime I listen to it, my memories of her come back, even though we stopped talking to each other I still think she is one of the most fantastical friends I have ever had, I just hope she is ok. The song itself is one of my favorites, besides the nostalgic feeling of those good times.

I see money just as a tool to facilitate trade between things in general, but money itself has no value, it just represents a value. Also, it’s important to not fall into the trap of idolizing money as a central human experience, otherwise it becomes just another religion.

I was reflecting upon an analogy about romantic love, I was thinking that maybe a life without romantic love is similar to a colorblind individual who is not able to see certain colors, in this analogy it's like love are these colors, you will not die if you don't see them, you can live without them, but when you become capable of seeing them, your life changes, a whole new world appears right in front of you, a world that you didn't even know existed, that's what I think real romantic love might be like.

A composition that brings me a mix of melancholy and romance feelings, it feels like two lovers that are far away from each other and keep thinking about each other. It's a superb short song.

I like how diverse is the architecture of Rome, we can see both ancient and modern buildings coexisting. Also, the vibes of 60's Italy are slightly different from those of France in the same era.

Sometimes it's impressive how a simple rain can become so comforting, I don't know, but for me, sometimes, when it rains, it just feels like everything is going to be ok.
