September

September is a month of changes. You get the feeling that summer is over, and you must go back: Back to school, back to work, back to your own life. You seem to forget a little about yourself during the summer. You trespass limits. You stay up late, dance a lot, put on weight. That's unavoidable. I mean the weight. At least it always happens to me. So, when September arrives, and you discover that you do not fit in your winter jeans any more, you decide you need a change. A change in your diet, to lose that weight. And if you can change your diet, why not changing all your life, by the way? So you decide that you are going to take on sports, study againg, change your habits, aim for higher purposes (why can you try and save the world?). Of course, you rarely achieve your goals. Most of them are forgotten by the second week. When you decide that you enjoy too much eating to give up chocolate and biscuits just for some old jeans sake. So you forget about the diet and, to cheer yourself up, go shopping.

Anyway, my goal for this September was to keep up with my blog. I wanted to write every single day, even a line. As you may see, it has taken me five days to sit and write something,namely a justification of why I haven't written anything yet. You know, I was too busy trying not to eat chocolate, it was taking all my will to keep myself from raiding the fridge... But that battle was doomed from the start. Today I polished off all the chocolate. And, out of a merciless remorse, I decided to sit and write.

So this is my commitment: As long as there is chocolate cookie close at hand, I will continue writing. Everyday. That's my payback to my conscience for not being able to keep a diet. I will make my brain burn that surplus of calories into producing a piece of writing every day. Don't expect anything big or impressive, though. My life isn't that interesting. Just my feelings and impressions, and I am a very common person. I hope not to disappoint any possible reader, as much as I hope not to disappoint myself
