I need to make a decision. I have my pros and cons on paper in front of me but I can’t make up my mind. I know not doing anything is also a decision, but it’s not the one I want. It’s all risky. You are here to live a risky life. There is no “safe” way anyway.

Lesson learned.
Learning what you don’t want to be like is also an important lesson. She bumped into my car but instead of saying “I’m sorry” she chose to say “believe me, I care about my car more than I care about yours”. I didn’t say anything. I was proud of myself, for that. But I do know, what I will never become.

Your real home is what you have inside your head.
You don’t
need to feel a connection. You are paying for temporary walls. It’s not yours and it's not forever. You may call it your “home” for a while but your real
home is what you have inside your head.

Thank you.
I almost missed it. Missed an opportunity to say thank you. To tell you, you have been more than a teacher to me 20 years ago. But I did it. I stopped you in the middle of the street and said thank you. One word that made both of our days completely different.

You are stronger than this.
You are pulling yourself down. And the right direction is up. What's done is done. Don't let it break your spirit. Don't let it take your smile. Make a decision, and move on. You are stronger than this.

Find a way.
Find a way. Find a way to make you heal. Find a way to stop focusing on what's distracting you so much. I don't have any guidelines for you, I just know you will find a way. And the sooner the better.

Your call, your thoughts, your reality.
You feel stuck? find a way to get you to unstack. You feel unhappy? find a way to be happy. It's all on you. Your call, your thoughts, your reality.

You need to make a decision and it better be the scary one.
You need to make that move. No "thinking about it" is required. You did some "resting", and now you need to make a decision (and it better be the scary one).

You haven't even started yet.
You can't let your fears hold you back. "Anxiety" is not the answer. You better take a deep breath and look at the bigger picture. You haven't even started yet.

It's worth it. It already is.
One day your Saturdays would look different. But it all depends on what you do with the Saturdays you have now. It may feel “the same” but it’s not. Look up. Smile. It will all be worth it. It already is.

Wanting to be better.
Any time you start a new garment you should ask yourself if you learned something new. If you had to test a few ways of sewing to get "there". If you complained it was too "hard". You are not "just" doing it, but wanting to be better.

That's on you.
It's not about the fabric you are using to make those gloves. It's about your learning abilities, your failures, and your perseverance. You decide on a fair price and stick to it. That's on you.

Now is the time.
Now is the time. My heart is open, and I want you by my side. I'll wait until you'll find me (or I'll find you) but please don't take too long.

It’s just noise.
It’s just noise. It’s just a table. You are not the things around you, you are not the place you go to every day nor the same as the people around you. You are your kind thoughts, your skill, and your perseverance. One day the accessories around you will change but don’t forget you already have the gold.

Living the dream.
Every morning start with “you don’t have to”. With the same tune inside your head saying “who do you think you are?”. But then you get up, you do “the work” and you realize you actually living the dream.

The gold is in the making.
Your ideas are your gold. If you share them or not, the gold is in the making. Some of them make take a while, but as long as you challenge yourself, it means you are on the right track. All the other work is extra.

Thinking is your job
Looking outside the window, staring at the mannequin feels like you're not working but you are. That is where you get your ideas from. You maybe feel like you’re cheating "your list". But without it, there will be no list.

Doing it “despite”.
I’m holding her in a bag. Million people watched her. And even though it's easier to walk around town knowing you already got a stamp from the "world", it still feels like you have a lot to overcome. It may take a while, and it may stay like this forever but as long as you doing it “despite”, you are on the right track.

You better make it count.
Don’t save it for later. Not a good piece of clothing or your great idea. Now is the perfect time to focus on the “better”. "You don’t get to live tomorrow again, so you better make it count".

At the end of the day, we are all the same.
It has nothing to do with the amount of money you have or what you do for a living. If you are not on the people's side, you are not my person. At the end of the day, we are all the same.

You will find a way.
You will find it. Find a way to make it happen. You will make mistakes along the way but you already know mistakes brought you here. Not only your successes.
Saturday, March 4, 2023
Make sure you do it all “despite”.
If you're letting it get in your way. Turn it around. Make sure you do it all “despite”. That you are looking at your advantages and not "what's missing". As long as you have enough space inside your brain- You have everything.

Don't you ever forget it.
"One day I will be able to afford it," I said. And he answered, "I know you will". We have never met before, but this act of kindness, a sentence, made my day. Don't ever forget, people, kind people are the once who brought you here.

The world is looking at you. Smile.
Wipe those tears.
It’s a waste of your time lady. It’s not going to help you. But you know what
will? staying focus. All the necessary equipment you have inside your head. And if you need
something to cheer you up, check out your phone. The world is looking at you.
Smile.

Look how far you have come.
You are looking for a room. A small room to keep making. Not something big, just a room to put your sewing machine and a big table. You see that room when your eyes are closed but in real life, you don't have it yet. Please, don't let it steal your joy. You will get there eventually. In the meantime, look how far you have come.
