In Which we have many years in a week: Morning in Brazil, too?

Good morning, most kind and dear friend, reader of this present post, too! How are you? This is a post I have been trying to write since this Tuesday or so... and it has been quite hard to think on what to develop into a more substancial thought. There is a lot that I would like to talk, and I was terrified of starting a post, only to delete it and leave it at that, it happened time and again, and it destroys me for the moment. I don't know why such a strong repulsion against starting a thought and not knowing how to end, not finding a good way to conclude. Perhaps it is fear of fatigue. Or of being mistreated. But I do have an ongoing trend that I perceive, I really, really wanted to mention it. I did start the year a bit annoyed with the 2016 nostalgia, and on that line, I said that it was more of a 1989 year than 2016. I said it due to the capture of Maduro, the (ongoing) second Iranian Revolution and war, the immense losses the left suffered across latin America, that brought s...

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!
