My inspiration

We are small, we are teenagers, we are over 15, 16 years and we love being inspired. Our inspiration comes from different places all over the world, but nowadays thanks to the Internet we don't need to move or to travel to go and check other customs, we can do it by the net.

Today I will tell you about one of my favourite online inspirations: Youtube.

This platform has been very 'in' these last few years, and it is great. Youtube provides a lot of information to thousands and thousands of people each day. It is very funny and interactive, and it is entertaining at the same time. That is why people love it. It is a great way to meet new people, to chat and argue a lot of times in the comments section, wherein a lot of times arguments can be found. Youtube is considered a job to a lot of people nowadays, being a 'vlogger' or 'youtuber' isn't that known but is being practised more and more.

Vlogging consists of carrying a camera with you everywhere and just recording what you do. Maybe it sounds stupid, but it is very funny and a good way of learning. Normally I watch videos of people who don't live in the same place as I do, that way I learn about other cities and about tourism without actually moving from my couch. Most of the important youtubers set themselves in LA, a city in which vlogging it is very common. A lot of important events take place there, such as Vidcon or Beautycon. If you like the idea of travelling and experiencing stuff without moving from your couch, check Youtube! 

I like this world and I enjoy it, what about you?

Are You Superstitious?

Superstitious people believe that there are some situations in our lives that will led us to others in the future. Usually, the causative thing has nothing to do with its supposed consequence. This is because superstitions are based on the beliefs in supernatural coincidences.

There are several facts on the world that don’t have an explanation. When we humans can’t explain these facts through science, we invent something which seems to be coherent. In this way, we can understand the strange things that happen in our lives. This is why, throughout history, many people have believed in prophecies, witches, ghosts, spirits, etc.

Nowadays, people are less superstitious than before. However there is still a huge amount of people who believe in superstitions. Believing in them depends on cultures, the countries and the people. In spite of this, there are some beliefs that are commonly known throughout the world. Another thing is that people take them as real or not real.

I have a friend that takes superstitions as real. She tries to avoid doing something important on Friday 13th as this is a day that brings bad luck and misfortune. She doesn’t think that when she looks at herself in a mirror it takes her soul but if someday she breaks one, she would be afraid of be cursed for seven years. She has never opened an umbrella on a closed place because she doesn’t want bad luck raining on her. She has always tried not to look at black cats as it is said that they are bad witches. She gets in and out of bed by the same side, she has never slept in a table and she avoids walking under a ladder in order to avoid bad luck. 

Obviously, not everything brings bad luck. She told me that she wants to find a four-leaf clover because that would give her good luck and fortune. She has a horseshoe hanging in her bedroom as she thinks that it removes evil spirits and brings good luck too. When she wants something to happen, she crosses her fingers and wishes for it or she knocks on wood to make it real. She thinks that step on shit, wear new clothes on Easter, a lock of a baby’s first haircut or wearing her favourite dress brings her good luck. She also says that if your left palm itches, you will earn a lot of money. 
 

I don’t believe so much in superstitions as does my friend. However I have never liked to tempt fate. I think that they aren’t true but I don’t feel like saying that they are false. And you? Do you believe in superstitions? Or, do you think that they are completely false? Leave your comments below!
