And I Simply Decided To Be Happy Again.

"I wish we were all hippies and we did yoga, lived in cottages, smoked weed, accepted everyone for who they are and listened to wonderful music.

And I wish money didn't make us who we are.

I just wish we could redo society." Bob Marley

First of all, talking about hippies is not necessary describing the way they dress. It's more about what they believe in.

Once you start looking after people, love, hope and make peace you'll see a difference. Some “cliché” facts that are actually true. It's about the ideal, and these ideals fought for in the 60's have been passed down to us.

On the other hand, in a consumer society full of people who just think for their own profit before humanity's and want to possess more than others, there will be no society based on non-violence, sharing, equality or prosperity.

The truth is that each person is up to change his own ideas and the myth (utopia) says that one day it will happen. So I started by MYSELF…

I realized that our minds are so wrapped up in trying to put labels or draw up mental images of what these concepts mean to us that we pull our capacity to tap into the present moment away.

Then I asked myself, "Do I really like what I'm doing, or just making everything to satisfy others?" and by others I mean friends, family, people around me.

I've always been able to feel the wind in my hair, the ground beneath my feet and the beats of my heart, but never thought about them like necessary items to become happier, to respect nature, or love unconditionally everybody.

So, people called me a confused person.

Confused? Because of last minute changes? Or because I make abnormal decisions?

I mean, they can tell me what they want or feel what they feel, but I’ll always be free, till they count to three.

By now, I am able to change simple things into captivating wonderous abilities, and then get creative with them to bring even more bewilderment and excitement to my life.

I'm young, with too many wishes, I still want to make love at any time of the day, call my friends for a beer, have a girls night out, kiss strangers, let go all the bad thoughts and make random things with random people.

I saw my reflection in the faces of others, and I felt the thread of connection between myself and everything around me. It made me even more grateful. Then, I started learning to love this world, be even more curious, let go all the sadness I've been feeling lately and try to forget and forgive..

Now, I chose to be happy, make art, listen to good music, have friends who care about me and be happy. I saw big changes, a real progression, a healthier person, mentally more than physically.

How I felt? Well, I felt wings carrying me higher than ever, learned to dance with the devils in the middle of the night. Without fears, I became a fire lover.

With love, Miry.
