C Minor

On a previous post, I said that when I was much younger, I was really into literature, especially into writing poetry. Well, so I think this is the best chance I have to tell you about it.
I liked writing poems at school, but I never dared go a step further. So, I just used to write some verses on notepads that no one would ever read or know about, except the girlfriend I had at that time. The thing is that this girlfriend and I used to attend poetry workshops offered at the municipalities of La Florida and Puente Alto. So, by attending those workshops regularly, I then realized that my poems were actually very good. Most of the participants and teachers at these poetry workshops used to praise my creations. I was then encouraged to enter some poetry contests. I decided to participate in one called 'Poesía Joven' (Poetry for Youngsters) at the University of Valparaiso in 2003, if my memory serves me right. I did not win that contest, but one of the poems I sent was selected for the poetry catalogue. I was more than happy. I was flying high! I could not believe it. My silly poems were valued by people other than my girlfriend and fellow workshop mates. So, the following year - as you can imagine, I participated once again. 'Do Menor' (C Minor) was my award-winning poem. The other one I sent was also included in the catalogue. Perhaps I will show you my poems one day. Should I do it? Probably not.
In the picture, although you can't see the actual poem, there's a beautiful best-try-poet-pose of me holding a glass of red wine. It couldn't be much better!

A quality post should have no less than 190 words.  The beauty of (paying attention to) simple things About two years ago, I was really depressed. I had to get over a relationship breakup, deal with shitty jobs, and sort out my MA thesis report. Ergo, I was going nowhere. I felt like a lost-and-found office deep inside -finding comfort in my friends was not really an option for me, as I was very ashamed of not being capable of solving my own problems (vicious circle), so I didn´t want to talk to anyone about my misery. The only thing I had in mind at that time...

However, before I go any further, let me put this flattering remark into more optimistic words, so you can derive some useful meaning from it.  Here I g...
