Light my way

The same nightmare comes and goes
That same dark room that is now so old.
And the screams, so loud, that come from within.
I'm all alone in this haunted inn.

The voices tell me what I should know
And I live in fear, for I've lost all control.
Of who I am andwhat I may be
And in the darkest moments my enemy is me.

I close my eyes not wanting to fall asleep.
It's a heartless fight and one I cannot win
For tiredness comes and knocks me down
And finally, I dream and I know I'm lost.

I'm lost, I'm lost but you somehow found me.
I'm scared of what may happen but you bring me the courage.
I tried to put the pieces together alone but now I can see
We are just lonely when we wish to be.

You hold on to me and nightmares are gone
You're the light that guides my way home.
A love so strong that ignites my soul.
And I smile for deep down I know I'm no longer alone.

To this day.

I'm not exactly sure I can find the words to express just how much this video and the reality of it has affected me so I'll just put it up here and let you have your own reactions and feelings.

But I would like to point out a couple of passages that I thought were very important, to everybody, actually, no matter if you've suffered anything like that or not. And tbh I would have prefer nobody had had to suffer like that. Because nobody deserves to be treated like this. Ever. And to feel like they're less than  what they're worthy. We aren't. We're great. We're perfect in our own way. Fucked updness and all. It's what makes us who we are.

"And if you can't see anything beautiful about yourself get a better mirror. Look a little closer.  Stare a little longer. Because there's something inside you that made you keep trying in spite of everyone having told you to quit."

"We are graduating members of a class of we made it."

Today is the international day to celebrate love. As I was looking for something nice to share with you all on this special day I came across things that I thought would be worth sharing. 

Valentines day is a celebration of love. All forms of love. Love for other people or even things. Love for nature. Love for yourself. Because it's only loving yourself that you'll be able to open up enough to love another being. Celebrate today. Tell somebody that you love them. That they matter. It can make a change even if you don't see it. 

So long.

Meet John, the sprinkles thief. :P

Okay so this is something completely random and utterly adorable and funny. haha hope you guys enjoy it.

Les Miserables - the 2012 movie.

Warning: This movie WILL make you cry.

So, I watched this movie this weekend and I've been meaning to write this since then but I needed some time to put my feelings back together. Those of you who have, like me, read the book before watching this movie will probably be as happy as I because they were faithful to it (as long as I can remember. Though I must confess I read Les Miserables 5 years ago). It's a heartbreakingly beautiful story that makes us think about everything, specially our own lives and how we have been living them. Anne Hathaway rocked as Fantine, specially on the incredibly sad moment in which she sang "I dreamed a dream". And man, did that brought me to tears. Let's face it, in total I cried 8 times. Which is a remarkable accomplishment because I don't think I've ever cried this hard in any movie, ever. 

They managed to tell the story beautifully with really great songs and a cast to match everything else. So yeah, the movie was great in every single way. And a musical like musicals should be. I don't really have to say that I absolutely loved it, do I? Thought so. Anyway, I'm trying not to give any spoilers so I'll keep it short. 

Those of you who haven't watched it, you should. It's a movie worthy all the awards.

For those of you who have... You can always watch again. Like I am going to. ;)

And read the book. Because the book is just as good. 

A little sneak peek. ;)
