Brentano-Murphy's Adventures

Why is it that we care too much? Why is it that we love so deeply? Why is it that we chose to be with the ones that bring us the most amount of pain? Why risk wearing your heart on your sleeve? They say that if we care too little then we lose what we love, and if we care too much then we get hurt by what we love. Unfortunately there is no inbetween and no choice, we either care or we don't, and we all get hurt either way. But why care for someone when they don't care for themselves? Why try help someone who doesn't help themselves? Why encourage someone to take a stand when they chose to hide behind the person they meant to stand up to? Why be old enough to take control of your life when you chose to be sheltered like a 5 year old? Why want responsibility when you run away from it? At the end of the day we all hurt, either from caring too much or regretting that we didn't care enough. Sometimes its easier to just complain and not care about what happens in ...

Turning Point in Life: It's a long heartbreaking story about the turning point in my life, but the basically I was 19 when I met a guy called Juan. I had come into some money through my grans trust fund  and of course being young and naive I believed it would never disappear and so I bragged about it. I fell for him, and started lending him money. He told me he loved me, and of course I believed him, but at the same time knew that I could only keep him interested in me if I have money (he wouldn't just leave). He was one of those dodgy guys, who had communication issues, so when I felt down I would drink. It got to a point where I was drinking everyday, before, during and after work, just to block my feelings of sadness, pain and depression. Long story short, he took all my money, and about 8 months after we started "dating" he left me without saying anything. I was heartbroken. To this day I have trust issues because of him, but I feel I ...

Self-Portrait: It is amazing how we can all change over the years, and taking self-portraits can either have a positive or negative effect on our self-esteem. A few years ago I use to take tons of photo's of myself, as in my eyes I look good, these days I often edit photo's of myself as I am not happy with my dull, spotty complexion. Looking at the comparisons, I can see the difference in my confidence, before I was full of myself, and now I try to hide. I don't however believe in too much makeup or expensive products or procedures to improve one's looks, as we are given something unique in nature, and one day someone will come along and love us for being unique even when we don't love ourselves. I'm not saying I would not mind if I were living an ugly duckling story, but sometimes we all have to make do with what we got, because being yourself and being unique makes everyone attractive in their own way.
