Life or something like it.

Psychology Schmychology?

Although I am definitely still a kid at heart, I don't like playing grown up games. Saying the right things, wooing people into doing what is best for them and also works out for you, manipulating people, pretending to be something I am not... I have to say, however, that understanding basic human psychology and psyching out the people you have to deal with on a daily basis is essential to not going insane! Especially in a society where people are still learning that there is a box they could think out of, where education is not something ever to be taken for granted, where being straightforward and upfront won't always work.

And worst case scenarios? I still have a few continents awaiting, hehe.

Meet the newest member of my family... At long last! The beautiful Misteriosa... My precioussssss.

Closure comes in all shapes and sizes and sometimes even when you least expected and didn't even know that's what you were waiting for. Thank you J!

Also, NYC is an amazing place. I know you all know, I just had to say it out loud.

And sometimes, hearing what you need to hear is totally not the point and actually irrelevant! But saying what you need to say definitely brings you peace of mind, and sometimes the combination of those two things can kick denial's ass but leave you in a better place. Weeeeeeeeeeee!

Yes, I  NYC.

It just hit me that being a commitmentphobe is perfectly normal when you've hurt someone worse than you ever thought it possible to hurt anyone and when your priorities are still the very ones that your initial potentially crazy decision were based on...

But that's not what I wanted to talk about in this post - just wanted to say hi and let whoever is out there and checking this blog know that I am alive and kicking and still working on changing the world, the Shnooz way. Still working with the Bolivian Red Cross as a volunteer, I am also starting up a communications company! If you're curious, check out www.aticbolivia.com but be warned - the Web site is still very much under construction (all feedback welcome btw)!

Have to run, the new apartment won't fix itself up! (Just like I tried learning by osmosis, I tried letting things find their natural order in the new apartment but it seems like natural chaos is more like it! So I have to intervene, and that's that.)
