Who’s Rod Matos?

I'm Rodolfo. I'm Brazilian! I was born on November 27th, 1990. I'm 30 years old now. I've already been through some good and bad moments in my life. I'm really thankful for the good moments; I definitely enjoyed them very much. As I said before, I also faced some bad moments that made me stronger than I used to be!

I sometimes complain about everything, but I have learned that nobody is perfect. I used to be very naive, but I admit that I have been growing up day by day. Time is such a great teacher for all of us. I've been trying to appreciate every single day as if it were the last one. I have figured out that we care too much about materialism, and that we hardly ever or never enjoy the precious moments when we are surrounded by family and friends. We just realize the great things we have only when we lose them.

I always say that I'm too young, but time flies and I really want to be wiser, smarter, happier and funnier as well when I get older. Every day is a new opportunity for me to improve something about myself, to make up for the mistakes I made yesterday. I don't feel like making them today. In fact, I want to learn from them.

Everybody has dreams and desires. I believe that they keep us alive by moving us forward. I like to keep my dreams in my heart, because I know that sooner or later, they'll come true. I have stopped thinking about the past, I try to live in the present and I don't worry too much about the future. The past becomes history; the present, you enjoy, the future, the consequences of our past actions, and the choices we make in the present.

We must keep studying whatever we like, because a good life is one inspired by love, and guided by knowledge. I have a piece of advice for you: Don't judge anybody even if you know their history, because life is like a rollercoaster. You may be up today, but it takes seconds for you to come down. Don't say the first thing that comes out of your mind without thinking. It's really hard to gain someone's confidence and you may destroy it in a blink of an eye.

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.

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.
