“How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you were?” (Confucius)

“How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you were?” (Confucius) It is true that there are those who say that we demand too much from life and not enough from ourselves, and all this happens because we need and feel a need to give meaning to our words. If there is one thing we learn when we reach a certain age, which in our society in general is considered “old”, it is that most people want to push us in the direction that suits them. If this isn't how you "kill" some of our freedoms, it can't be far off! Of all the lessons we learn in life, over time we realize that there are decisions we have to make, there are changes that have to happen, fears we have to face, there is loneliness that is important to show us that it is part of life, tears are a sign that we are human, but they are not a sign of fragility and, above all, there are new beginnings that need to start within us. We have to understand that even when we think or reflect that we are not capable of withstanding something... time shows us that we are stronger than we think and braver than we imagined we were!!! “Do whatever it takes to be happy. But don’t forget that happiness is a simple feeling, we can find it and let it go by not realizing its simplicity.” (Martha Medeiros - Brazilian writer and poet)
