In Which I write a post in defiance to writer's Block, and a small set of kind words to Nathaniel

Good morning, my friend, reader of the present post! Happy Tuesday! How are you, today? How have you been? As for me, I am alright, I would say. Just at the house of my grandma for the next few days, I wanted to pay her a visit. A bit frustrated, I tried writing a post and the panorama I wanted to make was really not working. I greatly dislike when I cannot see the ending of a draft, I worry I run the risk of just falling into dead ends, once and again. Many a bad memory, you know, writing essays in high school felt like I was in a maze and had to get out of the trouble with my words. Still some ten years since I am gracefully, Thank God, out of high school, those thoughts still haunt me. A pen pal did a live yesterday, Mr. Nathaniel decided to hung out with his followers on Instagram, share a bit of his crafts. I was happy to see him! I like to have the opportunity to be around and nourish cordial relationships with people I follow, maybe they can become pen pals, online friends, just...

Song of the week! In which we reflect about friendship with ABBA

IT'S TIME FOR SONG OF THE WEEK!! Hello everyone! Happy Friday!! How are things going with you today so far? How are you?? As always, I wish for the best!! I have no class today, so I can write this post earlier like I used to do on vacation time, how awesome is that?? This week was quite a mixed one, we had one third of rain, two thirds of heat, what a different winter indeed! August is doing fine so far, I made some sketches and I'm about to move to season 8 of Friends, FINALLY!! I also plan on watching some movies and even starting new shows! Okay okay, I'm a talkative person, let's move to the song of the week, a very touching one by ABBA!
ABBA - The Way Old Friends Do


This track of the much celebrated record by the Swedish Group: Super Trouper, is indeed very sensitive and subtle, quite melancholic but full of hope. Performed at live at the Wembley Arena in London, definitely creates an atmosphere of its own! It's a song which talks about the other side of relationships in general, but in this case I'd like to think of it as a song about true friendship. If people tend to romanticize Love, they definitely do the same with friendship. Friendships are not something that stays only for a couple of months and then abandoned in the first fight or moment of crisis, friendship is not only the good moments and the laughter and the things in common, far from that, some friends don't have that much in common. True friends are there for each other even when they had a fight and even when they're not speaking to each other, true friendships survive throughout long periods of silence unharmed, sometimes friendships can be painful, sometimes it seems like things are over, but true friends never abandon each other, they're always there for each other. Sometimes a friendship may sound only one sided, sometimes one can say things that will crush the other one, but true friendships last forever no matter what, or at least that's my "romantic" view on friendships anyway. I don't like to use this word lightly, and I don't appreciate when people do that, friendships are an entire universe, and like the music say "I don't care what comes tomorrow, we can face it together the way old friends do".
ABBA is indeed fantastic, love this group so much!! I'll never grow tired of it! So many beautiful songs! And I know some of you don't have Spotify, so don't worry at all, I have the youtube link with me as well!
