Three Years of Blogging
I started Words of a Broken Mirror three years ago! I can hardly believe so much time has passed since then. I wrote a couple of posts in Romanian, then switched to English. It was a good way to practice and allowed more people to interract with me. And this was a great choice. Cause I met the most amazing people from all over the world. You can meet them too, just browse through my blogroll!

Last year in May, my wonderfull friend and sister by choice Trisi got a .com domain as a present on my name's day and I built a new home for WOBM over there. But as this blogger page was home to my ideas, torments, songs playing in my mind, to my happyness and sorrows, to my friends' comments for so long, I kept it going long after it went out of page rank (let's all thank Google again for their nice little algorythm).

It is however time to move on. It's impossible to keep both blogs running and provide meaningful and frequent content given my generally crazy schedule which apparently is going to stay busy for ever. I won't delete the posts or restrict visits in any way. This is where my blogger identity was born and it still is a great place to look through forgotten little thoughts and happenings.

I will keep posting on my photoblog, I won't transfer anywhere for now. So keep going back to see the Views of a Broken Mirror posted daily (at least that's what I want to achieve there).

I hope this change won't turn you into strangers and that you'll continue to drop by and see what's new on WOBM. I know I'll keep meeting amazing people over there and continue the amazing experience I've started three years ago in the blogosphere. See you all around!



P.S. On this bloggiversary, I give you one of my favorite songs: Depeche Mode, Precious. Enjoy!

Precious and fragile things
Need special handling
My God what have we done to You?

We always try to share
The tenderest of care
Now look what we have put You through...

Things get damaged
Things get broken
I thought we'd manage
But words left unspoken
Left us so brittle
There was so little left to give

Angels with silver wings
Shouldn't know suffering
I wish I could take the pain for You

If God has a master plan
That only He understands
I hope it's Your eyes He's seeing through

Things get damaged
Things get broken
I thought we'd manage
But words left unspoken
Left us so brittle
There was so little left to give

I pray You learn to trust
Have faith in both of us
And keep room in Your heart for two

Things get damaged
Things get broken
I thought we'd manage
But words left unspoken
Left us so brittle
There was so little left to give

The Tea Party - Release
This song of the day is inspired by Sarah. Thank you :)

I want the world to wake
I want to give you peace
I want to vindicate
You need to be released

Don't want to hurt you
I need to make you see
If I desert you
Its just to make you see

That I'm a man that's weak
And I'm a man that's lost
I give it all away
To complicate the cost

Don't want to hurt you
I need to make you see
If I desert you
Its just to make you see
I'm not going to hurt you now
I need to make you see
If I desert you now
Its just to make you see

I want you to be free
I want you to be free from me

Nowhere to go but up
We all have our darker moments when we feel alone, left out, under appreciated, mistreated, misunderstood, and generally bad. What we'd like to do is hide away until we feel better or until something good just makes everything look bright and sunny. Most of the times, this is impossible. We have to get ourselves together and fast. And leave the hiding away and contemplating our wounds for later on.

So here's what I do at such times:
  • go see a friend and listen to his stories for a while
  • tell a short version of what's going on
  • call my mom
  • make a special play list of songs that calm me down
  • stop for a second and think a bit of those with real and bigger problems
  • allow my generally optimistic self to take over and drive
  • enlarge the importance of other aspects of my life
  • get something tasty for lunch
  • buy myself something nice if I have enough time
Update:
News like this one beats everything on the list. Congrats Sim!

What do you do in such cases? What sets you back on track?
