Along the road of life

We are constantly changing: habits, feelings and beliefs. I’m certainly not the same person I was 10 years ago. Back in 2007, almost three years after graduation, I moved back to Lisbon and rent a small apartment with a friend of mine in Benfica. I remember packing up and driving happily towards what I believed was my freedom. Still, I was so trapped inside my own ideas of what was right and wrong that I'm sure I missed many opportunities but back then that didn't seem to bother me. When we are in our 20´s we like to believe we have all the time in the world to make amends. The perspective changes when we are in our mid-30’s. We are expected to have achieved a certain number of things that will show other people just how successful we are and how perfect our life is. We are always in a never-ending quest for the perfect job, the perfect relationship, the perfect house, the perfect family, the perfect friends. Why not be grateful instead for each glimpse of consciousness...
