M. 7

Growing up I learned to always keep my feet on the ground; to know exactly where I stand in life, to always keep my head always up in the clouds, my heart full of faith in what I believe in, and believe in my values and principles. I also learned that maturity comes not by age, not by education, but by what you go through in life. After everything you go through, you understand something, a piece of the puzzle is unveiled, and the more you understand the more aware of things you become. You become more accepting and you feel for people; you become a better person; you mature. You get to know your own self better, which helps you deal better with the people around you. Life becomes easier. So, it's always better to be open to diversity, to differences, to strangeness and to oddness. It's always better to be ready for change, for adapting and for compromising. Simplicity is the best way to go; it is better to live a simple human being than a complex one. Nonetheless, it also is better to be mysterious and unpredictable. The goal is to be simple, not naive. Connect only with the ones you want to connect with, but always know how to handle all people, be kind to all people.

When was the last time you did something for someone? A simple, yet a meaningful act of kindness?
If nothing comes to you instantly, or even worse after giving it some thought, you need to get out of your safe, annoying, lifeless comfort zone you're living in and go do it right now. Because those little things are the ones that matter the most in life. You get to decide what you want to do with your own life and how you want to do it, never let anyone decide that for you. Listen to those who enjoy richer experiences, but only for the purpose of guidance, for advice. Take your own decisions and learn to deal with their consequences.
Be realistic, yet adventurous. Be brave, yet rational.
