{random} stories :: happy birthday

September 6, 2010 filed under: hello twiggs personal, random stories

hello sweet friends! how are you? how was your weekend? tell me everything! my weekend was (again!) very, very good… full of sun, sea water, sand… good food and mainly, excellent company… as only family & friends can be!

this is a very special day for me & for {…a place for twiggs}… because {apft} was born one year ago!

{…a place for twiggs} was born with one thought in my mind. i wanted a place where i could write, because, asides from the fact that writing was always a very important thing for me… i felt the need to express my feelings, mainly because i felt a little bit loss. loss in the world. i was feeling that i hadn’t find my place in the world. i had a few dreams, but somehow it was very difficult to me to feel organized in order to accomplish them. i was feeling helpless in following those dreams. 

{our path… that sometimes feels so blurry}

so… first i felt the need to wait until the right name popped in my head. and that moment came when {…a place for twiggs} felt the proper name for a place where i could write & reflect about feelings and moments that i had to deal with. but first, it was a private place. until one moment i decided to not feel shy anymore and share my thoughts. 

so, the first sharing thoughts were considering dreams… clues… paths… feelings. this was the begining of what i call now some of my {random} stories. then something started slowly to change… i was feeling the need to have something else to share… something that involved working the relationships i was building everyday. 


one of my favourite things in flickr… is networking. i can not describe what i feel by knowing so many interesting people that have been so inspiring in my life… that have been truly the ones inspiring me in exploring my own creativity. i have said {thank you} a few times. and now i think i might have to thank once again. 

besides this, i was feeling the need to share more about these interesting and unique hearts & minds. why not share experiences? why not share a few moments in our lives… if those moments would inspire and spread strength throughout the words?

so… this {place} started to let go of the intimate part of sharing feelings & doubts, to become something much more positive and uplifting… happy… and that is the way i see {…a place for twiggs}. that is why {apft} has several columns & interviews. that is why…


…were born, each one in a specific moment. asides these… {apft} still has its {random} stories… with… random stories from my daily life. 

some of the first posts were moved from {apft} & saved in a private place, because due to the exposure of this place… i still want to make some of those previous feelings & thoughts private. so… if you have written some nice words for me… do not worry, as they are safe… in my heart (and in black, rectangular thing i own…that connects to my laptop).

so… it is time to say {thank you}. 
thank you for being here. 
thank you for reading these words. 
thank you for writting nice words. 
{thank you}. 
and this is reason & the day to {celebrate}. 


celebrate life. celebrate sharing. celebrate projects. {celebrate}. just celebrate. 
because living each day as we feel like & with strength is enough reason to {celebrate}.

{taken by mr. gg, that had all the patience in stopping & taking these before we went to the beach}

and as i usually say… 
embrace life and random results & small projects.

and this is all for today!
hope to see you tomorrow… for {sneak-peek :: photography}!
xoxo,
twiggs

    Happy Birthday to {apft}. It's been a delightful year. I love to read your blog and to see your photos. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. After all, we all have dreams and it's hard to express them and our feelings. It's very pleasant to have a place to communicate with people that share our passion. So congratulations. Many more years will come
