The story behind a photograph
❤️Those little faces wrap the greatest treasure that life could have given me and those bright, wide smiles are the joy of my heart and a balm for my soul.❤️
❤️This morning my little loves came running into my room, with a lot of emotion because they had conceived a great plan. When they speak, I usually look at them beyond their words, being enraptured by their being.❤️
❤️I was curious about what they were so excited about and after they told me I understood that they were absolutely right to be.❤️
❤️It turns out that they planned that when they grow up they will go on trips all over the world. We'll spend two months in each place, they said. ❤️
❤️Sounds great, in this life what we enjoy most are the experiences that make us happy and traveling is a great thing - I told them, but... What will you live on?❤️
❤️Don't worry, Mommy, we've got it all figured out," they said. Let me explain: Let's save some capital here first so we can have a fund and go. Then, every place we go we'll look for a temporary job, like in a supermarket or something, and from there we'll have enough for the expenses. What we want to do is get to know so many countries... That will be our great adventure. ❤️
❤️They said it with such conviction that they convinced me. I always tell them, and this time was no exception: whatever you set out to do in life and fight for with all your heart, you'll get it. I tell them that even I dreamed about them, deep down I thought, why didn't I think of something like that as a child? I only thought about studying, graduating and having a good job so that I could then build a home. ❤️
❤️When I was doing my degree thesis, there was a classmate who said: although I work, I have nothing, I have enjoyed living, traveling, giving me pleasure, because when I die, that's what I take with me. At that moment it seemed so irresponsible, I even told him and what will you do when you are old? I remember that he answered me: -I don't know if I will have bought a place to live by then, but if not, my mom will save a room for when I want to go, at least that's what I have. And all I need is food. I'll see. - I still think it's an extreme. After I didn't see him anymore, I like to think that the time came when he seriously thought about securing his future and at least bought a house.❤️
❤️The point is, not that bald, not with two wigs. I'm leaning towards the philosophy that says: *? work to live, don't live to work. ? I really liked the idea of my children and, even more, that they share their dreams, apart from their day-to-day life. Ahhh and they even told me: can we have our own blog like you? Please Mommy, we want to start saving money for the trip. We have also thought about what we can publish. How beautiful is innocence and how far your dreams go. I will always support you in what you decide to undertake, I will not be the one who cuts your wings. This life is not a recipe and happiness cannot be bought.❤️
❤️When they finished telling me everything, their smile and their eyes shone so brightly that I could not help but say: wait, I will take a picture of you to save this moment. They immediately hugged each other to have their picture taken. Now I entrust this story to my dear blockchain in case any of us forgets it, can remember it. That's what I love about the hours spent on my blog.❤️
