Sometimes, one has to make small and insignificant changes in life, to set the basis for the big ones…
It is time to start with such a small change. From now on, my dedications, reflections, thoughts… will be found here:
... It was time to turn the page…
(V.M.)
I leave behind everything I cried for,
I give my sadness to the wind to carry it away
And unfold my promise for the world to see.
I will show my brightest smile to the future
And let joy fill my soul to its very end,
I will twice re-think what I want to share
And embrace the goodness and the happiness within.
(V.M.)

Is’s strange how people fear or resent those around them who are somehow different. It’s strange, because it should be exactely the other way around… It would seem normal for a blind man to envy those who can see, it would seem normal for a cripple to envy those who can run or even walk with ease, it would seem normal for a sick person to envy those who are healthy. It’s so hard to be different in a common world, it’s so hard to be abnormal in a “normal” world.
… it’s hard, because people push you away when you stand out. They desperately wish to be normal, because they don’t have the courage and strength to be different. And they hate those who have it, they discriminate them for not having the chance to be like them, precisely because they acknowledge their strength.
Those who are different and have the power and will to live their life without resenting their misfortune are envied for their determination. That’s why others try to change them… not for wanting to help them enter normality, but for diminishing the abnormality in which themselves live. They need others to live the same common life as they do, because they need reassurance all the time – of their “right” choices in life, of their normality. They need proof that one cannot live a life different from the one they have, or their own rutine wouldn’t make sense: how can you call a life normal, if the abnormality is as well acceped?…

"It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light."
(Aristotle Onassis)
kikanai kusuri bakari korogatte’ru kedo
koko ni koe mo nai noni
ittai nani wo shinjireba?
I am GOD’S CHILD
kanashii oto wa senaka ni tsumeato wo tsukete
I can’t hang out this world
konna omoi ja dokonimo ibasho nante nai
*******************************
I’m swathed in medicine that doesn’t work
Here, there is no sound,
What should I believe in?
I am GOD’S CHILD
These sounds of anguish leave scars on my back
I can’t hang out this world
It’s my only thought: I have no place anywhere
(Chihiro Onitsuka - Gekkou/ Moonlight)
Number one ni nara nakutemo ii
Moto moto tokubetsu na only one
Hanaya no misesaki ni naranda
Ironna hana wo mite ita
Hito sorezore konomi wa aru kedo
Doremo minna kirei da ne
Kono naka de dare ga ichiban da nante
Arasou koto mo shinai de
Baketsy no naka hokorashige ni
Shanto mune wo hatte iru
Sore na no ni bokura ningen wa
Doushite kou mo kurabeta garu?
Hitori hitori chigau no ni sono naka de
Ichiban ni naritagaru?
Sou sa bokura wa
Sekai ni hitotsu dake no hana
Hitori hitori chigau tane wo motsu
Sono hana wo sakaseru koto dake ni
Isshou kenmei ni nareba ii.

There’s no need to be number one
you’ve always been very special, the only one of you
I looked at all kinds of flowers
Lined up in front of the flower shop
Each person prefers a different type
But they’re all beautiful
None of them fight
Over who’s the best
They just stand up tall and proud
In their buckets
So how come we people
Want to compare ourselves like this?
Why do we want to be the best
When everybody’s different?
Yes, each of us is
A flower there’s only one of in the whole world
Each of us has their own seeds
So let’s just do our best
To make them grow into flowers.
(Smap - Sekai Ni Hitotsu Dake No Hana)
In times of crisis, most of the people turn their face towards despair, they let themselves fall and block the outside world from reaching them. In such times, one can forget even an entire life of happiness. That’s because a crisis brings upwards the deepest fears a person can have, it portrays the things he/she dreads the most…
…fear can make one loose his mind, can turn him into a whole new person – a person he has never learned how to control…
What a beautiful mind and what a powerful self-control one must have in order to overcome such a hard moment in life!… What a great soul one must be – to think of others during his own fall, to fight for others’ happiness knowing he’s about to loose his own one!…
I crave for such a power – to be able to forget myself even in my weakest moments, to be strong enough to rise above my sorrow and surpass my limits of selfishness…

It takes the courage of a hero
To pursue a dream when you’re awake,
It takes the spirit of a master
To raise above these earthly trials,
But you have broken all the laws of nature
By standing still where others would have fled,
By running on the paths that others crawled
And by living even more after your death.
It takes the courage of a hero and the spirit of a master
… To be you.
(To Be You… - V.M. 2 October 2008)
If honor and wisdom and happiness are not for me, let them be for others. Let heaven exist, though my place be in hell. Let me be outraged and annihilated, but for one instant, in one being, let Your enormous Library be justified.
Time is the substance from which I am made. Time is a river which carries me along, but I am the river; it is a tiger that devours me, but I am the tiger; it is a fire that consumes me, but I am the fire.

Let neither tear nor reproach besmirch
this declaration of the mastery
of God who, with magnificent irony,
granted me both the gift of books and the night.

(Jorge Luis Borges)
So many times people judge you for not knowing different stuff, some of which they think not knowing them should label you as stupid… and they treat you with superiority just to hide their envy, for you have the courage to admit not being perfect… better should you brag and lie and claim you’re someone else?
So many people say they offer you their help… and that is all they do: say it. But so often they are afraid the help they might give could lead to their disadvantage, because you can become better… and it’s more than they can handle: being inferior to those they once ridiculed. They claim always wanting what’s best for others, but they are selfish and afraid to fulfill their sayings…
