I have a
problem, well more than one, but one of them is to solve a family matter with
my partner: the number of SOCIAL RELATIONSHIPS, where I’m compelled to
keep/get/be/stay in touch with them. With my friends or your friends, with my colleagues
or yours, with your extended family or mine, with our wide circle of
acquaintances or also, the friends of our friends – they are good people, too.
I
feel sorry for all of those people that suffer loneliness, but I feel
asphyxiated on several occasions. Mind you, it can be that I’m not a social
animal. In fact, I prefer to spend my time with my nuclear family (assuming
that its radiation is frying my brain) or on my own than listening to the
“experts” who have the solution for this country or if they are more ambitious,
for the world. Although, having a lucky day, the debate could be which team
will win the league this year or about the last clever gadget that we need to
have to be more connected; if we aren’t still (a good plan for my very little free time).
By the way, how much time would I need to attend Facebook, Twitter, Instagram
or other services that my dear mobile phone supplies, apparently free of
charge? Or Apps like the fantastic whatsApp! So useful and necessary to be
involved in superficial relationships that I don’t know, certainly, I don’t
know how we lived without them some years ago.
Seriously, to be honest, I’d
like to be more in contact with friends, relatives or even strangers and not
always keeping myself to myself. However, it is becoming harder to maintain a
fluent relationship with all of them, when you have other interests, worries or
responsibilities – Eat the chicken Andreita! Probably, this is a symptom that in
my twenties went away a long time ago and I don’t want to waste my time
repeating the same things; I had a whale of a time.
Cheers!
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone
else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of
other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your
own inner voice. And, most important, have the courage to follow your heart and
intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything
else is secondary.

Beautiful song, beautiful complein, too. I love the last words, but if you let me an advice... it is important that you follow your heart, but you should always do looking around. Sometimes we hurt others. Relationships are complicated, aren't they?
