Back to life


Oh well, I guess I've been going through a lot of ups and downs, but finally I can see some light at the end of the tunnel. Let's wait and hope for the best.
I'd like to thank everyone that has been hanging in there, being patient and helping me the best way they could. And I'd like to use this opportunity to remind myself and let everyone know how important all of you, my friends, are in my life! Without you, I'd be miserable! Thanks for making my days better!!!!

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery...


I think it's so funny that I grew up thinking that I was nothing special and that I would never be a target for envious people. My self-esteem has always been very low and I've always had trouble being self-confident and believing that what I do is actually well done.
Anyway, I guess that the more I live the more I find out I was wrong. When I keep busting my ass to have my goals reached, fighting for academic and professional achievements, I see people dragging themselves in my shadow. And I can't deny that it really surprises me!
I know how hard it is to get recognition in such a competitive world. But then when you find yourself being copied, having your words repeated by other people on the internet (even though there are no quotes or references to the original author), you can be sure that there are people wanting to be you out there... And that is flattering, isn't it?!

So despite my impulses to get angry about it, I guess I'll make myself proud of my work. Apparently, even though I haven't gotten any type of major fame, it seems to me I've accomplished more than I imagined, right? Because as they say: IMITATION IS THE SINCEREST FORM OF FLATTERY!
