For more stories that aren’t only mine
I wrote a post about things that I want to keep bringing through 2026. Yes, yes. But I didn’t write about a few steps, an overall goal that I really, really want to follow through.
I went through a lot — and who doesn’t?!
But I don’t want to keep repeating saying or thinking about what I went through. I don’t want “what I went through” to be the theme of my life. The soundtrack pf my life? The story of my life.
I’m not sure… can we get a theme for our life?
What is the theme of your life? Can our life have a theme just, can our lives be like a song? There are times we want one particular song to be the soundtrack of our days because it relates to the theme of our minds and our days. But it changes, it keeps changing. The themes and the songs!
Okay, so I don’t want “what I went through” to be the theme of my life, neither to be the story of my life. And here again, our life has many stories, just like the phases, just like songs and themes, we live one by one. It never stops, and that’s a good sign! Day by day.
So my life (as probably yours) has themes and histories and stories, and for this year... have you though what the story, what's the theme (or themes) you want to pursue?
What I was thinking today is that for my year, and hopefully the next next nexxxt years, the themes and stories of my life will be in a position where the stories and themes of my life become other people’s stories and themes. Ha, is this confusing?
What do I mean by this? Okayyym wait wait!
Well, I want to be less and less focused on my own issues and my own stories and themes. I want to be such a master at solving my problems that I will spend less time with my own problems and be there for family, friends, and people that I encounter.
I hope to be in a place where I can understand people’s nuances and humanity, and be there with presence, even if it’s words of presence to a friend who is overseas (a video call to check in?!)
I want to pay attention to them. I want to check in. I don’t want to be Miss Boazinha, Miss Helper, Miss Know All, but I want to be Miss You Can Count on Her.
It's a super amazing feeling.
I hope to be there for so many stories I might encounter. Stories that are not mine, people who are not me (with their traits and subtle nuances — we are all human, and so amazingly confused and lost at times!).
And that's it.
With many laughs, a few tears (it's all good!)
I hope to keep working a lot and become more and more financially comfortable!
And I hope to work out a lot so I can stay healthy (and prettyyy!).
