Quote of the moment Vol.2

In Which November 2025 ends, another November of Creative block

Good morning, my friend, reader of this post! Happy Sunday! How are you, today? Hope you have been in a good moment? Those are always important to aknowledge, and never to be taken for granted. I know that well, as this early morning, I tried to write on the post, only to feel dread, because of a strong creative block I have been facing. Perhaps was just hunger, at least in this occasion, as now that I had my breakfast, some eggs with tomato sauce, I feel much much better. How are you, in the approach of the height of the season? I am so happy and I am eager, anxious even, to celebrate the beautiful Christmas time as I can. There is the relief of having survived another ybbear, or at least to have reached its most wonderful days. In any case, how is your fall season going? Or are you from a normal place that dows not have such bizarre undertaking? The weather for me has been following a simple pattern for now: cold nights and super heat during the mornings. I will always root for the c...

In Which I recap some of 2023... A harsh year

Good morning, dear friend, reader of this post! Happy Thursday, the last of 2023. What a year... I have been struggling a lot through it, or at least this is what I remember of it... the tears and the anxiety overall, downs and slowly coming up again, falling down next and so on. Emotionally, very draining. I will not be wrapping up the year yet, we still have three more days to go, and God knows those three last days could be good ones! Could be bad ones, too, but anyway, I prefer to consider them as potentially good ones. That being said, so far... It was not all bad. I read a lot, read the biography of my lady Thatcher, it was the biggest intellectual journey of my life, and I came out of it much better, and ever so in love with that great stateswoman! I read about the great Louis XV, so mistreated by historians... I read a lot! Overall, it was a year that I missed a great friend, that I could not chat with as much as I could. I pray that in 2024, we may have more chances of talking, perhaps. 




Charlie saved me from having the loneliest year of my life since high school, for that I am grateful. In total, I lost count of how many friendships I cultivate, I lost track of it... but I have been feeling greatly alone, so if it wasn't for Charlie, it could be even worse. There is also the friend I first mentioned, dearest of friends, Mr. Johannes, that I wish I could talk to more often... but well.
It was a year of despair, as I saw everything around me bursting into flames. War, communism... Only at the end of the year, did I had some hope... 
I drew a bit, so that is good. I wrote on the blog as well... I took pictures, specially of flowers, I listened to music. I played some games! By the end of the year, I even got a small gig, that I am still working on. God willing, I should finish it around January...
So, I say 2023 has been harsh, loneliness and longing for a dear friend have been taking its tool on me. But apart from this, it is okay, no annus horribilis. How will it end? I hope to keep resting. Hope the last drawing of 2023 may be a cool one. Maybe I will manage to get myself into a game again, because as I stand right now, I am a bit burn out on videogames. Maybe if I play some RTS ones today, or some puzzle ones, instead of the same grand strategy, I will have a better time. So I should look into that. Right now, I am just happy to be writing this summary on the 359 days that passed by of 2023...
But that being said, I trust I should wrap things up around here. I should return to the blog most likely on the 30-31st...
Until then, thank you my friend, for reading through 2023... I wish you the best, once again. Happy Thursday, have a wonderful rest of the year!
