Why keep a diary? Answers, 2014, and awesome kitchen buy!

It's been a while since I have written a blog post or a word in my personal diary. It got me thinking about the reason behind all the writing I did back in my teenage years. I'm guessing it was the ambition, and the thought, about one day being able to publish them (haha right, like Anne Frank wanted hers to be read by the world). It made me record the slightest details, I thought, just maybe, would be interesting for the readers.

After that thought, I turned my head the opposite question: so why am I not writing things as often now ( once every 2 years?) I'm sure you're thinking "duh cuz you lost your ambition, you no longer want to publish your diaries" and that is only half true. It is true that its no longer an ambition. But the real reason behind not writing is because I have converting the habit of writing into sharing my thoughts. Now instead of pen and paper, I have a living (and charming) diary who gives me feedback when I ask for it, or just listens when I have to let things out. I never told my living diary about the old ambition of publishing anything. Much to my surprise, one day he said to me "have you ever thought of publishing an autobiography?" It took a moment. Then I replied, "yes, once upon a time" "you should" he said, with a smile so familiar it made me smile too.

I'm in a good place in life. All major issues that occupied my mind was solved and dissapear along with 2013, thanks to my amazing 3 F's: friends, family, and fiancé. 2014 has given me the opportunity of a fresh start. Excited things to happen soon, as well as living in the present. Past events have made me appreciate the things I didn't appreciate, and be thankful for things I might have been taking them for granted. With so much positive energy around me, I must contribute too, somehow, someday. Maybe it will be publishing an autobiography, or posting it online, or make healthy meals, or motivating other, things that not necessarily has anything to do with diaries, whatever it may be. With that said, here is a picture of the first sunset of the year, taken with hubby behind me, with his cheeks against mine.

To end this post, I would like to share how awesome having a mixer/food processor/blender is! Hubby made a bizcocho (sponge cake) while I did hummus and pumpkin cream. Omg the last one was our favorite. So easy and SO healthy and delicious. €44 was totally worth it. Oh yeah 2014, lets rock on!
