In Which we have a post for the Thanksgiving Holiday 2025: from an Exhausted Brazilian to dear America

Good afternoon, dear friend, reader of this present post! It is another day of November, the week of Thanksgiving too, in advance I should say happy Thanksgiving, and I wish you the best. It would be needless to add, but I will do it anyway: grateful to all my dear friends, online or IRL. I am grateful for you, dear reader! And all the good things that came to be this year of 2025, the year of the APopCalypse, the year of the collapse of Brazil's economic purchasing power. I would add moral collapse, societal collapse, overall the burning down of a whole nation, but it has been gone for a while now, what we have is the crumbling of the rubble. Anyway, still, in my personal life, even with the exhaustion, the tragedy, and all sorts of burning out, I am grateful, I am okay, I am cheerful because it is Christmas season. I will not let any catastrophe take this from me, if I can help it. I still have some agency, as such, it is Christmas, I should decorate whatever is left of my rubble...

In which we talk about the story of the three pictures!

Hello everyone!! Happy Monday to you!! Another week of the month of November, this indeed sounds nice! How are you today and how are things going? As usual, I do wish you the best and hope you're having a good day indeed! If you are not then, it's just a day, don't worry, it will be finished soon. If you're having a good day, rejoice, happy moments are wonderful!!! In any case, I do wish you the best!
After some weeks drowning myself in ideas in comparison to other moments in the history of this blog, today I discovered I was without ideas again for today's post. This made me frustrated. Also, I had a stormy Sunday, so I was really worried thinking if I would be on the position of writing a post or if I had to postpone that like I did in that day of September. Luckily, something good happened to me today, looking through my pictures, trying to find something nice so I could do the post, I was remembered of something, and this is gonna be our story of the day!
Once, on the garden of my Grandmother, there was this chunk of earth around this big tree, and it had lots of flowers in it, that proudly distinguish themselves from the grass around and also the tree they surrounded. Here's how they were:


I took this picture on October 5th of 2017! I can still remember this period of my life, thank God I don't exclude the pictures of my Instagram, it's like a journal to me. I was on the height of my 2nd semester of college and I was still having some relatively calm moments, following a nice September. Okay, back then I had other things to be anxious about and all that, but in general I was having some good moments. It was a time before the month got wild, on its second or third week, when we were starting to reach the end of the year. It was a crazy terrible rush that hit me like a truck and completely messed up my head. It was a period of change, stuff of 2017 were slowly fading and we were reaching the scenario I had on the beginning of 2018, so life goes. The flowers were there though, standing strong, and when I took this picture, I was having a good day, I had no idea what was ahead of me, good or bad. I could just imagine about it...


And then a small work of renovation happens on the garden, they drowned the flowers in sand and dirt, and they died and the earth was all that was left. The tree faded as well, growing palid and slowly falling into illness. And we reach June of 2018. I already had this blog! A whole world has changed since the first picture was took. This succulent I'm holding in this picture didn't exist back then, for example, it was the day it was put into the table by someone, and I decided to go taking pictures of it around the garden. It was my vacation period, and a recovery period for me as well, since I had a pretty bad crisis in May. I was just recovering from my 3rd semester of college, and a lot of things. It was a world of change indeed...


This picture was taken a little bit more than a year after the first picture was taken and guess what, there are plants back around the tree, which hasn't died! I am not sure if they were manually planted, or if they naturally grew from whatever was left of the old plants that suffocated on the dirt, but look! Plants around the tree again! This is wonderful! It fills me with joy to see this. Also, some stuff has changed since June, not much, of course not, but still, July, August, September, a lot of stuff happened to me in these months, of course, but anyway, I'm just so happy to see plants around the tree again, for some reason I can't properly identify. It's special.

So this is the story of the three pictures! And what I have to share with you today, dear reader! Thank you so much for reading this! You are the very best and you know it! I'm so happy I got to finish another post! Thank you. See you next time, hopefully! And I do wish you well.
