The difficulty of starting a Business
Actually, where can I start? From earlier age, I always thought of making money, creating a business, and a few types of things, although I have not talked to anyone about it or at least didn't get the approach from someone who could feel what I'm talking about, which I had luck to find later on. Although I think it is the poor countries that have a high level of entrepreneurs, the difficulty is one of the reasons, of course. But this was not my case, being from a place that has a high social inequality, I could say that I was in a good place, at least enough to not think of basic needs. I feel that every single Angolan is an entrepreneur, for some reason, I doubt that someone would say the opposite. One of the first issues is of course, the MONEY, which is hard to get money, investment, and so on. But after some while I can be sincere and say that some of us could start more earlier, I know is not easy but after some time you noticed that one of the most important thing is TO START, not just think, do not give up, start and keeping pushin, 2025 is the year Im pushing with all my strengths and Im not thinking about give up and I could say a lot of things that Ive being dealing with but choose to see the problem the size I choose, even after trying to invest with own money, working so hard in 2 jobs for around 2 years, to get credits, to make different hustles/side work idk how to call it, I notice that whatever will happen I'm just mental prepared to worst, to the best. So, this is for you who are facing struggles along the way. Be aware of social media, a lot of people are just trying to sell something. Be smart, keep doing what you think is right. I'm just saying that because I had some regrets about not starting before, but I feel so comfortable in that situation that is not yet the one I'm going to achieve, which I think is going to be amazing.

Talking with the stars
No one cares about you! But it doesn't mean you don't care about anyone. This is just a point of view to be prepared for what worst. Today I couldnt sleep just thinking how much money Im going to make this year and suddenly I look at the stars and was staring to one and when I looked better I noticed there are few of them in that place, something tells me that is related with the amount I will make, is more than I expected and then I started thinking on how should I behaviour with such money that I cannot count it and I still dont have it. This is super crazy how our mind drives us in a certain way that I feel sometimes that we cannot control at all. It is beautiful and strange at the same time. This might be just a superstition, but sometimes superstition seems so real that you cannot understand.

Still Untitled. Content Warning.
The first thing I always asked myself was: how do I start writing a book? Why should I even write one? Should I follow any writing rules? Were there things that should not be said? And the answer to all of that was — it doesn’t matter. It really doesn’t. We are all part of nature, we are what we choose to be, even when we don’t decide who we are. Surely, we will still be “someone,” even if we didn’t want to be.
