What our time needs

​Guardians of hidden treasures.
Nicole Valdespino


I know I´m really young, but I have experienced relationships since my first encounter with this crazy world. I´ve glimpse strong relationships in my family and observed the ones from people I know. I have been exposed to all different kinds of relationships and I have experienced some of them too. It is all about relationships, it all begins with the strongest one when you are in the womb, and from then on it is all about connections with others. From the most minimal and basic to the deepest and strongest, we live through connecting and relating with others.

I have realized that in a world driven by connection and relations, we are deeply afraid of commitment and we find it extremely hard to do. Maybe we live in a time where we were taught that putting less interest in relationships makes us stronger by being careless. Because revealing our natural emotions and true feelings makes us weak and vulnerable. Maybe our time is perturbed by romanticism, loyalty and commitment. We feel far more comfortable having half relationships, partial friendships that are only on duty Friday night. Incomplete loves that turn into a simple call once every few nights.

We find it extremely hard to say how we truly feel and we cover with with fake bullshit. We shield what we truly feel with what we think it is acceptable. But we cover it because it is valuable and we are actually afraid and then everything we are surrounded by becomes so vain, material and simplistic. If we could only say what we really sense and perceive. If we could share the value we find in moments shared or the emotions generated from our relations. If we could only say it, share it without filter or fear, then we could create purer, deeper and therefore stronger and more real relationships. But saying and sharing what our core feelings and emotions comes with a price that not everyone is willing to pay.

I have learned that it is impossible to really know someone because their true souls are hidden deep inside, covered by a shield of lies and fears, but I also have learned that the biggest, most fascinating richness of people is there, and if we do not dare to share them, those treasures stay there forever hidden, lost.

Because there is some responsibility in being given someones treasures is the reason why it is not for everyone. You become a guardian. A guardian of someone elses hidden treasures and that can only be a task for the courageous. Caring is good, loving, being loyal and committing is amazingly beautiful, try it out. Don´t let go. Be brave

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
