An Open Letter to Sam Pepper
Hi Sam!
Thanks for taking the time to read this letter. As fellow YouTubers, we have much respect for others who put so much hard work into building their channel. It’s not easy, and you should be proud! That said, we’ve noticed that in your success, there has been a lack of respect in…
Little holidays are over
So our national holidays are over. Whoa! a whole weekend of them.
I had a wonderful and relax weekend with my family and had time to think about other stuff. Not the usual stressful stuff, but actually like random and pointless stuff that can release pain from your shoulders.
I managed to write some chapters for the second book manuscript and I always think that I should travel more when I got to write.
Just being on a plane, boat, bus or car (not driving of course) make me want to write while I see the landscapes from my window. It’s relaxing and make my brain process the ideas I creating.
But I can just take the bus here and write. The buses are to crowded sometimes and I feel really stress in this city. (too many people!)
I was thinking on going to new places to re discover myself and to write properly (also maybe moving to another country), but I’m scared and completely anxious about the future and I shouldn’t be worrying about it, but I need to produce, create and pay bills.
Anyway, I want to travel to Europe. Never been there and I could be a nice place to visit alone. Also, I’ve been in most of south america’s countries and I need a change of view.
And for the most cheerful people reading this, I want to tell you guys that national holidays in this part of the hemisphere are so amazing that we eat and dance and drink like the world is going to end. It’s a fun time and I love how we get really patriotic without attacking anyone. (at least not sober).
I’m not making any sense right now cause I’m tired, but I hope you have a nice week and we read us later!
