This One’s For the People!

Ever since I was a little girl until my early teen years, I kept a daily journal. I used to keep track of all of my activities and thoughts, then I went back and read them. It made me smile; I liked to revive the moments that made me feel alive, and loved to remember all the fun I was having.

Things took a different perspective during my later teen years. I remember I used to carry a silver notebook during my last year of high school, and man, I wrote every single time I felt inspired. I would just bust it out wherever I was, and started writing dramatic poetry and drawing weird illustrations. Most of my poems were about sadness and bad experiences with my relationship attempts. We all know how that goes when growing up, some of us think that “it’s the end of the world,” and “you’re gonna die,” and “it’s all over.”
During this phase, writing became my psychologist, my confidant.

Ever since I met Brian in 2004, things changed a quite a bit. We clicked immediately, we built a steady, healthy relationship; something I’ve never had before. Obviously, I no longer needed to weep and complain on a piece of paper. Instead, I discovered the meaning of happiness, fulfillment and tranquility, and no longer had the itch to write how I felt anymore. For some reason, I find much easier to express sadness and disappointment than happiness and fulfillment. I believe that means that real happiness cannot be described easily.

I recently started thinking about how I abandoned writing, about how much I miss it… so I have decided to write again. This time I will not be writing about my existential issues, nor my daily activities. I have something more valuable that I would be stoked to share with the world: this blog is for the people! the people who surround me and inspire me =) I feel very lucky to meet the people I know, to have such awesome family, such great, unique, passionate friends, and last but never least, have the most incredible husband anyone could ever have.

I hope you come back and take a look for yourself. I believe that all wonderful things in life must be acknowledged, and be celebrated =)

Thank you for reading!

About FioIsFio

I’m a passionate person who gets really excited about the greater but mostly the smaller things in life. I’m a Peruvian native, born and raised. The culture of my country has made me appreciate who I am and where I come from, as well as to learn from other cultures and broaden my love for the arts. I also have lived in a few cities in Venezuela and in California… currently living in Los Angeles with my incredible husband, Brian. My family, friends, food, fashion, music, art, traveling and learning about different cultures are what have built the person who I am today. I currently go to school at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising for Apparel Industry Mgmt. I dream of the idea of starting my own clothing line: incorporating shapes that are comfortable and functional, mixed with my Peruvian culture, and infused with rock ‘n roll a vintage touch. I love textiles intensely and I’m definitely not afraid of color. I don’t limit myself to the fashion world, though. You only get to live once, so I believe you should not just focus in just one of the things you love. Someday I will own a small cafe, write a book (or two, or thirteen), work in a movie designing sets and costumes, make pottery, jewelry, accessories, help with public relations and marketing, learn multiple languages, travel around the world… and even perform a stand-up comedy routine… who knows … and why not? Take advantage of life and have fun… Be Happy. And Stay Happy.
