I'm a slut for love.

I never cared much about celebrations. I mean the big ones that everyone makes such a big fuss about. I never completely got Valentines day, Halloween, Thanksgiving etc. Last year I declared the 27th of November as a personal celebration - something great happened to me so I decided to make it a big day.
I think we all should decide what to celebrate and when. I think we all should decide what traditions are worth keeping and which ones are not worth keeping.

Yesterday one of my friends passed me her ticket  to Macy Gray's concert and decided I'm going although I don't enjoy concerts alone. Today, one of my girlfriends texted me she's going as well so what it seemed like a solo night turned as a girl's night out.

My girlfriend, who's going through a nightmare breakup told me she missed me. And then, another beloved friend told me he missed me. And it's not about how awesome I am. It's about the warm, homey feeling that you get when you know you're truly missed.

And then gorgeous Macy Gray said something about Thanksgiving.

I had no clue what Thanksgiving is about so I wikied ( how wicked is that ) it.

Tonight I'm aware of how thankful I am. For the love I receive. The kind of love you're not asking for. The best love.

Go to sleep world, the apocalypse is not coming tonight.

Sa repetam impreuna de 10 ori. Inspira o generatie.

Am ramas socata azi cand unul dintre colegi a zis ca i se pare ca Jocurile Paralimpice sunt o prostie.
Suntem " disabled " doar pentru ca pe pasaport scrie Romania. Eu nu ma plang.

Sa faci performanta de orice fel, in tara asta, e un efort supraomenesc. Sportivii romani se antreneaza in conditii mizerabile si totusi reusesc sa ne rupa ne inimile si ochii cand, ca prin magie urca steagul sus si se aude "Desteapta-te romane".

Nu vreau sa incep sa-mi inchipui ce inseamna sa fii sportiv paralimpic in Romania. Nu vreau.

Si tocmai pentru ca, impotriva contextului nefericit, ei reusesc sa faca ceea ce fac, merita mai mult decat ceea ce cuvintele respect si admiratie pot exprima. Mult mai mult.

Si tocmai pentru ca tara e asa cum e, cred ca TVR putea sa faca efortul sa transmita Jocurile Paralimpice. Tocmai pentru a inspira o generatie. Pentru a ne face mai toleranti atunci cand intalnim persoane cu dizabilitati, mai umani, mai generosi, mai intelepti, pentru a ne scoate din apatia vietilor noastre pe care le vedem atat de imperfecte, din depresia  iminenta a zilei de nastere, pentru a ne face sa fim recunoscatori dar mai mult, si cel mai important pentru a da incredere si forta celor care s-au nascut sub o stea mai putin generoasa decat noi toti, normalii cu toate mainile, picioarele si, credem noi, toti neuronii acasa.

Desteapta-te romane din somnul cel de moarte. Cine a zis asta? Ca mi se pare destept tare.
