Concentrate the mind on the present moment.

Hello again.
It's been a while since I last blogged here.

I recently read a quote, it goes like this:

"Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future. Concentrate the mind on the present moment"

I used to use this blog to write about things that were hurting me. But I want to blog more often now.
I live abroad at the moment and someone who I was very close to recently moved back home. But his home will never be close enough to my home. I think it is safe to say that I miss him. I miss him so much. It isn't the same here anymore, but life does go on, with or without him. He wasn't a boyfriend, but I did love him. We weren't together, but I think I wanted us to be. I don't know. But he's gone.

I wish I could live a life following the quote that I previously mentioned. I'm always stuck in the past or thinking about my future. What if I never get married? What if I never have children? What if my dreams don't come true?

Yesterday I went to a traditional Spanish festival.
It is tradition to write three wishes on a piece of paper and then jump over 7 waves and throw the wishes into the sea.
I can't tell you what they were. But I hope that they come true.

I am sad that I haven't blogged in so long and reading back on all my posts makes me realise how much my life has changed but then how it is also so very similar. I think I have found myself this year and I think I am a lot more independent. I am still single. But I am okay being single. And I think that's the best part of it all. Besides, you have to love yourself before someone else can love you. I'm learning to love myself.

I'm currently reading "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" and it's teaching me a lot about life. Here is my favourite quote, I am sure that there will be more to follow:
