It's not you, it's me...

This is a very common phrase, so probably you have hear it before, or maybe you have even use it to break up with you boyfriend or girlfriend, this most of the time happened when we are not really sure if that person is the right for us, so we let them go. But sometimes, people use this phrase not because they feel it, or they really think this was the reason, they use it because they want to break up with the other person and they don't have to much imagination... so they say that.
At least I have never heard this form any of the people I know, but is something I have heard on the street while they talk about it, I once thought that they were joking, or that was something they said to their friends, but wau!.
It looks like they use it for real, I do not know if they do this only because they think is the "easiest way" of ending a relationship, but some say that they use this prhase only because they dont want to hurt the other person, they dont want him(her) to feel guilty for the failure of that. Maybe if you see it from other way, they might think this is better, but before you do something you may want to think first on what would you feel if the other person does this to you.

What does not kill me, makes me stronger


I think it was last year when I heard this expression again, but in a song. This is a funny phrase if you think in many thinks you can say about this. For example, the other day my little dog was eating a toilet paper sheet, and my sister mention something like this expression: "if that does not kill him, it'll make him stronger"... and I said " I really doubt that eating that, will make him stronger".
My point is that there are several things you can mention for this phrase, but they are not always true.
For those that are interested in know who was the person who really said that is: Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1869)

To be or not to be.. (William Shakespeare)

Haven't we always heard that? ; is the question we have always made even in a joke but I have been always curious about the whole phrase, so here you have it:

To be or not to be, that is the question;
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing, end them. To die, to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to — 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;
To sleep, perchance to dream. Ay, there's the rub,
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come,
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause. There's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life,
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
Th'oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,
The pangs of despised love, the law's delay,
The insolence of office, and the spurns
That patient merit of th'unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscovered country from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will,
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all,
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pitch and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry,
And lose the name of action.- Soft you now!
The fair Ophelia! Nymph, in thy orisons
Be all my sins remember'd.

Not everything counts...or it does?


Well, you can see the title of this blog in that pic. And if any of you wonder from where is that phrase; here is your answer.
"Not everything that can be counted counts and not everything that counts can be counted." -- Albert Einstein.
What he said is a big true, like a person that is surround by lots of people but still feels alone.

No matter how many people is around, if any of them give you what you might need that most of the time is love. Not necessarily a couple’s love maybe just a friend or someone to talk with; someone who can listen to your problems without thinking: “Damn when is she gonna stop talking”. Yeah I know that everyone in this world have problems, some of them are huge and some other are just little ones. But have you ever wonder what could have happened if I would listen to him/her? There are lots of people who kill themselves only because they didn’t have any to talk with, someone who can listen to them. And the only we hear people said is: “how stupid are they” but when a person close to them does it, they can only say: “oh poor one, how could this happened if we give him/her everything”. But what about the most important things, not the material ones and I imagine that you know what I mean but if not, then there are a lot of things you need to think about.

For example, while I’m writing this a very close friend of mine came and asks me what I was doing; however, instead of telling him what I’m doing here and let him read this that I’m writing, I told him that I didn’t want him to read it. I mean, this is something that’s going to be in the whole net and how am I supposed to publish this if I don’t even let my friend to read it. I’ll tell you how; I can publish this and let you read about it because you don’t know me, and whatever you think about me is not gonna affect me at all, but instead he’s related to me and it does affect me what he may think about me. And without knowing it I just told you why millions of people doesn’t talk and keep all his stuff to themselves, is not because nobody ask them what’s wrong with them, it’s just because they prefer to stay the way they are and no bother other persons or make them worry about them; or at least that’s the reason I keep a lot of things. And you can’t tell that we didn’t try it, but if you knew of what I’m talking about you’ll know how I feel. I once try to let my mother know how I feel, and the only thing I accomplish was make her feel bad, because she felt that everything was her fault but it wasn’t. If I felt bad in that moment was for several things that happened to me at that time, the way I felt because I couldn’t help my own family. And even now, while I’m going my way home if you take a look at me, I’m exactly like a living dead just walking with the mind in other planet all sad but if I see someone that I know; I’m just okay and all smiles. When I’m reaching my house, with the only purpose of don’t let my family worry about me when I enter my house try to forget everything but I can’t so I just don’t talk about it and they assume that I’m fine.

Ups, I just notice that I already give you a whole speech without notice, sorry about that. But that’s the way I feel and here’s the only place where I can say it without make anyone worry.

So thanks for reading this and if you didn’t like I said I’ll never know it so I’ll assume you did It and will be happy about it.

Feel free to comment. Or if you prefer, talk about your own stuffs.
