I'm simply a man walking through life and writing about it

[Mario Silva 🚢 @MarioG_DaSilva]

In the worst day of your life

The world won’t stop for you, it won’t allow you to catch your breath
Or give a moment rest

Life doesn’t gently feed you the reality
It throws everything down your throat whether you’re ready or not

In those darkest moments know there is hope

[Mario Silva 🚢 @MarioG_DaSilva]

Emptying my home reminded me what is important

Emptying my home filled me with sadness

Emptying my home reminded me I don’t need more

I need less so I don’t miss more

Emptying my home gave me freedom to do what I want to do

Collecting experiences, not possessions

[Mario Silva 🚢 @MarioG_DaSilva]

Emptying my home gave me freedom

To finally understand what’s really important in this short period of time we spend here on earth

It's about collecting experiences, not possessions

The freedom to experience life at its fullest

[Mario Silva 🚢 @MarioG_DaSilva]

Now is all what it exists

Cry, laugh, yell

Walk, stroll, saunter, ride a bike,

Explore

Don't let the beauty of life escape you

[Mario Silva 🚢 @MarioG_DaSilva]

@im_deryasefer Yeah, this year has been quite challenging

[Mario Silva 🚢 @MarioG_DaSilva]

Your stories are more valuable than you think

Your stories, like mine, don’t just capture attention
They offer value, insight, and show authenticity

When honest and heartfelt, people will remember you and your stories

They'll remember how you make them feel

They'll remember you
That's how valuable they are

[Mario Silva 🚢 @MarioG_DaSilva]

We think we need more 

We don’t 

Yet, we work more and end up missing more

We are missing what’s now. We are missing the present

[Mario Silva 🚢 @MarioG_DaSilva]

When enough is enough?

When wanting ceases to be. No insecurity, no comparison.

Being satisfied only what you are, have and what you do

When you get there, you experience contentment 

You know you have and you are enough

[Mario Silva 🚢 @MarioG_DaSilva]

We undervalue quiet, peace, and solitude

It’s not all our fault
We live in a life where we are constantly bombarded with noise

There is this constant barrage of distractions, demands, and doubts that clutter our minds and spread thin our focus

Breathe deeply and let you mind settle

It’s in the small quiet pauses we start to recognize just how much noise has been filling our mind

[Mario Silva 🚢 @MarioG_DaSilva]

It’s okay to ask for help

Life can sometimes feel like a hellhole

Realise you can’t do this by yourself

Asking for help is not a sign of weakness but a sign of courage

A sign of growth and wisdom

[Mario Silva 🚢 @MarioG_DaSilva]

Closure does not come from outside but from inside

You don't need someone else to give you peace

You need to give it yourself

[Mario Silva 🚢 @MarioG_DaSilva]

Writing is the best way to express myself

It has shown me that an average person with a keyboard can make a small dent on the planet,
Not all in one go, but with a commitment to doing it frequently

Influencing the lives of many, all beyond the written pages

[Mario Silva 🚢 @MarioG_DaSilva]

@im_deryasefer Did you have a rough year as well?

[Mario Silva 🚢 @MarioG_DaSilva]

Curiosity is the engine-driving intention
It's the ignition switch that causes us to ask questions, pushing us to explore, learn, and grow
Without curiosity, we grow stale and fall into habits
We stop seeing the world in new and sometimes fresh ways

Curiosity is for those who wish to live fully, to live deliberately
And to live creatively

[Mario Silva 🚢 @MarioG_DaSilva]

Technology has been growing exponentially

No matter how hard we try to keep up, we can't.
This creates stress, anxiety, and fear

We lose a part of ourselves
We grow dependent on technology while something inside us dies

We feel hollow and empty

This year I learned to step back and let go
Enjoying more life, all the beauty surrounding me
It’s everywhere

Doing so, we feel connected, we feel alive

We find ourselves again

[Mario Silva 🚢 @MarioG_DaSilva]

@im_deryasefer I've been riding a rollercoaster since the beginning of this year. But doing better now :)

[Mario Silva 🚢 @MarioG_DaSilva]

Find something that is new and different

Something you can't wait to share it with the world

You can't sit in front of a laptop and feed prompts to AI to write the piece for you
You have to go out and take risks
Experience life
Life experiences give you something different to say

Your work stands out

[Mario Silva 🚢 @MarioG_DaSilva]

@im_deryasefer Thank you Derya. How are you doing?

[Mario Silva 🚢 @MarioG_DaSilva]

Embracing your dirt makes you more human

Embracing your dirt will allow you to attract the right people around you
You're not afraid to show your cracks as a person

Showing who you truly are will turn some people off - and that's ok
This will make you feel uncomfortable.

It feels weird being so open about our imperfections
We're afraid of what others would say

When you embrace exactly as you are, a human
You’ll be a better storyteller

[Mario Silva 🚢 @MarioG_DaSilva]

Happiness is simply the calm before the storms in our lives
