The possibility of making a dream come true it's what makes life interesting (Quote by Paulo Coelho) Our elders say: one more day to get up is one more day to enjoy. One more day to get dressed, to open the window and watch the beauty around. Another day of troubles to face, to struggle, another big mountain to challenge. A new page to read, a new program to watch, a new lesson to learn. New steps to rehearse in the morning for the the colossal performance at night. A dream to fight to wake up all the senses. Wonderful people you have to meet makes you forget about the wrong ones you' ve met. What it is written, sometimes can't be deleted, but it's always a way to rectify and start a better story. Because I live, I want to shout to the whole world that I'm alive, that I want to fly. Because I live, I am a person that fights everyday with myself, the monsters inside, my concerns, my family, my friends, my job, my what will be the next? But I am alive, that' s much more that I can ask for. Something that means that I still can breath the air, pulluted, but the one we have. I can watch the ocean, the sunsets and the new dawns. Perhaps my life is not what I expected, perhaps everything I'm living now is not as far as I painted when I was starting. But the years makes you go through unexpected small roads that one day can become highways to run on. Still young enough, deep inside, to do many performances. I choose not to act in the limelight, but in the right stage with the spotligh shining on me, because I live and I want to be alive for the next show to be played.

We all experience ups and downs in our lives, roads that seem to go on forever and some that are dead ends and go no where, but I agree with your desire to experience the beauty that is present in the world.

That's right. But because I live, while I have the chance, I want to live and be happy. That's what it is about. While we breath we have chances. Thank you James
