You can find the meaning of life by just being.

I am here in the middle of Portugal, and it feels amazing to be able to write my way up as a free spirit.

People are always trying to find new ways to get inspired, to keep the ideas flowing. To find the meaning of life.

For me, the meaning of life is to just be. Absorbing yourself into the present.

We may never meet, but I share what helps me when I create things, like this one text.

This introduction reminds me of what the great Alan Watts once said:

“The meaning of life is to just be alive”

→ Oh, inspiration…

To express, I get inspired by coming into nature.

I am a battery and nature charges me.

Yet, it is not always like this. Sometimes I am inside a house, locked in a room, But writing is one of those things which I cannot do.

Improving is a natural process because it is part of who I already am.

Well, what can I say? How grateful I am to write at a place like this.

There is so much life around us everyday. We just forgot how to enjoy it.
All I am trying to do is get the inspiration that I need to then inspire others.

I do this by putting out words on a blank page using my fingertips.
While sited under this tree.
While doing cool shit, and experiencing flaws and rights.

Imagination → A Superpower.

I have tried to get myself a 4 leaf clover.
Spent half an hour looking at the grass, searching for “LUCK”.

But then I realized. This is a very rare thing to find, one in one million.

I would rather feel the luck that a clove would give me.
I can imagine that I got one, that makes me feel instantaneously lucky.

Give yourself the freedom to feel lucky, happy, love, wrong.

We are human beings, not perfect beings.
We do not have to be impeccable all the time!

This can apply to any kind of feeling that you choose to.

How would you act if something happened to you?
Can imagine who you have to become for it to happen?

People are not evil, they are just lost.

There is still time and hope.

I realized that people are not used seeing someone like me writing in public.
But this proves that I’m different than the normal standard,

I see it as a person with an opinion.
I am not a single someone.
I am anyone I can become.

Well, I am who you are reading. How does it feel?
Imagine yourself in the middle of a park in Lisbon.
Sitting in a tree.

Imagine the most amazing day of the year.
The perfect conditions.
How does it feel?

I wish this for you too.
What an amazing thing is to write and express in such a beautiful place,
my love for writing is only increasing.

This gives me a whole new brain.
I am sure of.

You have maybe realized now,

I talk about getting better in my own way.
Here goes only ideas.
I will be sharing more!
Trying to get faster results on medium.
Make sure to follow me if you’d like to.

Thanks for reading ❤
