I don’t know you. But I think a lot when I turn off the phone, and turn aside to sleep. I’ve been wondering where is my life going, and something I realized that… I’m going to nowhere.

Nowhere.

I’m a 17 years old medium-class brazilian boy. Late this year I’m going to make the required exams to join a big University in another town. I have a work, and I study in a very good and public high-level school. I’m at the edge of my life. It’s here where I’m choose where I’m going to expent probably most of my adult life. It’s here where I choose my future, and next year, probably I’m going to live alone (maybe with my girlfriend) and dedicate myself to study Journalism on the college, and work. No support from my parents, or anyone, since I don’t know anybody in this town. And I’ve wonder, where it will leads? How it pass so fast in front of my eyes? Every day that pass is a sucess. But soon, what’s happen?

Thank’s God I’m alive.

I don’t know where we going. I have a lot of ideas. For example, when I was ten years old, I learn to code and start to develop small hacks for my own entertainment, I always love to draw/write and to paint, make sounds, play things, math, music, cook, cloths, design, so many things, so many choices, and so time left! Or maybe not. What the hell I’m doing with my life? How to solve this trouble of life?

I realized that we don’t need to try solve our life. Sometimes we don’t have to be so organized. We just need to live this, we just need to do it. Maybe it has to be like this. Maybe, this way we can focus on what we have around us. Our job, our friends or the people around us. I fear the future, but I don’t turn my back on it.

We are an Exploratory Space

Learn to become an space of exploration. To be open-mind, and always improve yourself. Your thoughs. Be determinated and focused. But learn to find new paths to get where you want. Look for critics, and use it to grow. Look for stuff you don’t really interest in it.

Learn to love what you hate. It’s hard. But something we don’t think, it’s that we have two sides, your and the other one side. Share, share yourself.

Maybe this way, you can find yourself. I've notice that I’m always trying to do something with small possibilities. And always trying to find a new path for something. Maybe I’m not wasting my time, as I though, but digging new opportunities of expose who I’m am in my deep inside, that part of me that even I really know. Time cannot be restored, it’s true. But It can be enjoyed.

I read a lot about productivity tips, and time-saving schema, but I don’t see anything about saving time for yourself, only for working more, and more. Maybe that’s is the answer of all this rush-rush treadmill.

Product your time. Explore it. Dedicate time for you, and who is around you.

Explore. Explore yourself. Grow inside. Show it outside.
