It's so common for us to stop still before life and keep asking what the meaning of living is... I get it, it's completely pertinent to every human being this kind of questioning... But is it helpful in daily life? Does it make living better? If the answer is yes, great! As I believe everything that contributes for a better life is beneficial. Now, if the answer is no, and, at least for me it has been most of the times I question myself, I prefer a more practical and less troubled way, but, please, don't get me wrong, because I'm not talking about the kind of irresponsible or harmful lack of worries that could damage mine or other people's lives. I mean living in a way you find simple and inexplicable enjoyment in doing things (and what is that we have to try to explain everything!?!). In my case, one of the many things that makes me feel good is decorating, transforming and living the house! I've stopped asking myself the reason for this to make me feel good. Let's enjoy what life offers without questioning so many things needlessly, and instead, find what makes us joyful and makes us feel alive! Live more, in the broadest sense: exist, value, reside, nourish, coexist, etc, etc, etc.

É muito comum a gente parar diante da vida e ficar se perguntando qual o sentido de viver... entendo, é totalmente pertinente a todo ser humano esse questionamento... Mas é proveitoso para o dia-a-dia? Contribui para um viver melhor? Se a resposta é sim, ótimo! Pois creio que tudo que contribui para o bem viver é salutar. Agora, se a resposta é não, e, pelo menos para mim tem sido na maioria das vezes em que questiono, prefiro um caminho mais prático e menos preocupado, mas, por favor, não me entendam mal, pois não trato aqui de uma despreocupação irresponsável ou prejudicial à minha existência ou a de outras pessoas. Falo de viver encontrando prazeres simples e inexplicáveis (e que mania temos de buscar explicação para tudo!?!). No meu caso, uma das muitas coisas que me faz bem é decorar, transformar e viver a casa! Parei de me perguntar o porquê disso me fazer bem. Vamos aproveitar o que a vida oferece sem tantos questionamentos desnecessários, e ao invés disso, encontrar o que nos alegra a alma e nos faz sentir vivos! Viver mais, no sentido mais amplo da palavra: existir, apreciar, morar, nutrir-se, conviver etc, etc, etc.
