I'm originally from Puerto Rico and am currently studying at the University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras Campus. I don't usually find myself writing for fun, so this will be a different and new experience for me. One that will certainly be a challenge.
First of all, I would like to explain the title of my blog and it's relation to the human condition. As you can see, below the title of my blog, lies a quote from the writer Paulo Coelho. The quote explains that the human condition is based on sharing one's ideas. Therefore, if you translate my title from French to English, it will say "The ideas of This Little One.". I'm usually distinguished by my short height, and I want to relate my blog to the human condition. Consequently, the title came naturally. Additionally, you may be asking, why on French? Well, I've been wanting to learn French for a long time now, and I thought it would be fun to incorporate the language into my title.
In other news... at 18 years old, I still don't know what I'm going to do for the rest of my life (wish me luck on that). But on the bright side, I consider myself a very realistic person. I’ve grown to love every scar, mark, blemish, stretch mark and birth mark on my body. I’ve learned to appreciate quality, not quantity. I've learned not to judge others, no matter the circumstances. I've learned to set goals and accomplish them. I've learned to always find a positive aspect to a bad problem. I've learned to be thankful. I've learned to be kind, honest and loyal. I've learned to respect people. But most importantly, I've learned to love myself. All of these things, are the ones that I want to transmit to my readers.
Even though I’m still not sure where life wants me to go, I'm sure through this blog I will learn more about myself, and so will you.

Hey Sila! It is totally normal that you do not know what you want to do with your life! It is perfectly normal, and you still have a complete life waiting ahead of you. Also, I am glad that you have learned to love yourself. I think that this is a very important mentality that everyone needs to develop in order to be happy. After all, we are in charge of constructing our own happiness. I noticed that you wrote about respect too. Never lose respect for yourself and for others. This quality is scarce nowadays.
ReplyDeleteSila, I love your blog! The colors are so popping and eye-catching! And using a French title really sets it apart in a really good way.
ReplyDeleteI wish you the greatest of luck in finding what it is that you want to do in the future, but I'm sure you will find it and be amazing at it. Besides, you have a few years left before you're forced to be tied down to a dead end 9 to 5 job.
P.S. I hate pickles too.
Same as you, I don't know what to do in life haha. I totally love your blog and how dynamic you are with it. You got really creative with this post and it was so fun to read it! You should definitely take French as an elective. You are so confident and learned how to love yourself, I admire that very much and it encourages me to do the same. I wish you the best of luck in your future and find your calling.
ReplyDeleteI've come to be a big fan of your blog so far, Sila! You mentioned in my own blog that you're "terrible" at things related to art, but when I took a look at your blog I just kept thinking about how creative and colorful you really are. I love how your posts are honest, creative and very eye-catching! Remember, everything is art! Also, I'm so glad you've learned to accept your flaws and to have such great morals. I've yet to learn this myself really. I hope you find what you want to do for the rest of your life, and hope you really enjoy it and not settle for anything you don't like.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I thought I was the only whose favorite color is white. Haha
