Anyway, it is freezing/raining outside. I have no intentions of stepping foot out of the house and I am here bccause the new year has past and I have not bought a Journal or a Calendar. YA WHUT? Journal? Sorry to disappoint, but if you look it up it can be very therapeutic. So life away from home gets easier when keeping a journal. Sad but true.
Anyway, I can't complain about the cold enough. So I will stop. And talk about 2016 and the changes it brings. Tiff gave us a link about the simple life. Rather good read.
"Be willing to try something new. New priorities, new perspectives, new questions, new choices."With that being said, I cannot tell you how much I love TED talks. Here was last year's most played in a list. I am not done with the list but this one about addiction is my favourite already. Prior to watching this I have heard about the way Portugal handled their addicts, by creating jobs and empowering them with skills to continue on with life. Also, connections. Countless TED talks emphasizes the need for humans to be connected.
Humans wow. We are an evolving species that will be an unraveling mystery no one can fully fathom. It is insane how 2015 years has gone by and yet we still lack the basic connection we need. Social media has somewhat distort a sense of connection honestly. It has forged an unreal, imaginary world that fosters insecurity, anxiety and dependence on likes and comments. If only everyone knew how much they had to offer to the world - just by loving one person at a time. And no, we are not talking about the favourite friend, or the lovable guy. Like Johann said, even though it was hard for him to understand the addicts in his family, he believed that the love, time, and purpose he brings into their life will be a slow and steady way for them to eventually dream again. To aspire for greatness. Portugal has proven its continuous success for 15 years, and I am wondering, what is the rest of the world waiting for? Let's not waste anymore money by keeping prisoners bored and then coming out only to repeat the cycle again. Yes, you need to watch this. Click click click!
