THE MESS OF MY LIFE

My life has become a nightmare. Yes, that's right. My life has never been a stable thing. In my childhood, I was someone happy, there were sad moments but there were also good moments. 

Everything would change more seriously when I was eleven years. I started to be sad everyday, and the teachers noticed it. And that's where the rollercoaster of emotions started. I fell in love for the first time, so they were constantly tears and laughing. My parents were often fighting. And they wanted to separate. My mother looked for a house, and then my parents both together moved from house. For me it turned a good thing because I had my best friend in the same town. And well, everything seemed to be ok. I finished primary with excellent notes. I spent the whole summer taking care of my brother about 8 hours a day, alone at home, and taking care of the house. So a big emptiness grew inside of me. 

I started high school very well, my parents were still fighting and I couldn't more. Once the police came home, and I ran away from home for about four days. And yes, with twelve years I cut myself for the first time. And at that age I knew I was in a depression. Also at that age I tried to kill myself a couple of times. I fell in love a second time, but, everything went to shit, and in the  secondary of school, I became cold, broken, and empty. So the self-harm was every day and I got into trouble with drug addicts guys. But the only thing I wanted was to die and I didn't know what to do, so every night I'd take pills to see if I was dying at once. And I had insomnia every day.  My notes fell sharply, and my parents get very angry with me. I started to stop eating, and I had no friends. 

So it was all horrible in my life. 

Until one day, my parents saw the cuts and punished me, and of course they took me to a doctor. And he told me that I had to go to a psychiatrist. At that time, my mother was diagnosed of "esquerosis múltiple", so it shook me very much. 

But well, I thought that nothing could go worse. 

I spent a stable summer. And when the school starts again, the problems did it too. I suffered bullying of my class, and I was absolutely alone. And I just stopped sleeping. Slept an hour or two, as much. And I was slowly dying, literally. 
My psychiatrist prescribed some medicines, which unfortunately made me a otherwise effect. And, instead of calming my dying desire, it made me want to kill myself even more. And there, the problems really started. Because, then they changed my medication and, obviously, they were very abrupt changes.

So I had a lot of weeks feeling bad, so on a cloud thursday in high school I tried to kill myself. 

And I was admitted to the hospital in Girona. I miss two months to class. Yet, I got very good grades. And I went back to spend another lonely summer. I went to Portugal one month. And well, I started school again. But this time I can not focus on anything, fortunately, I created a band own. In my house I am living a hell. 
My parents are going to separate, my mother spends her life out of the house drinking, and I'm here trying to stay ahead with this. My father is depressed and my brother is far from reality. 
No one will ever understand the pain I've come to feel. 

HORROR MOVIE

THE BABADOOK. 

The babadook is a horror film that it was made in 2014 on Australia. The director of the film is Jennifer Kent and The Babadook has a "Empire" prize for the best horror movie. 

The story of the "The Babadook" is about a widowed woman that lives in a old house with her kid. This kid is a boy with six years (if I'm not wrong) and he has behavior and mentally problems. Then one night, Samuel, her soon, gives her a mysterious book that she didn't know. The book was called " The Babadook", and this book was about a monster that appears in the room of the childs and it attacks them. 

I really love this film because it makes me think about my childhood. I meant, Samuel reminds me of how I was in child. Also, I love this film because it is psychological horror. The film plays with your perceptions and if you don't like horror movies you can have a bad experience. The story of this film is very nice and very original. A long time ago I didn't get a chill watching a movie. My favourite part of the film was when the mum becomes the babadook. 

MY HERO

KURT DONALD COBAIN 1967-1994

Hi I'm Margarida and this is my presentation of my hero. 

It took me a while to choose a hero , but in the end I decided to choose Kurt Cobain, the vocalist and guitarrist of Nirvana. 

Kurt Cobain is my hero because he was a great artist and a great person. 

He was someone very important in the history of music, 80s, 90s.

He was a person who had a lot of love inside and had an anarchist soul. 

Even he's my hero, I've always thought that no one should follow his example 'cause he was a junkie and he commited suicide. 

It's true that he had many problems and that fame came very far but dying is not solution.

It was a shame that such a special man died at the age of 27. 

But his music, his art, his band, and him, will always make him alive. 

Well, in conclusion Kurt Donald Cobain is my hero and my platonic love. 

And that's all, thanks for all. 

SOCIETY

Through this text I Will explain what I think about this society. 

Society, that surrounds us, is the set of people, way of life, of thinking, of wanting. I don't know if I have explained me well, 'cause it is a difficult issue to deal with it.  

For me, this society (capitalist society) is somehow finished, finished by; in the sidewalk everyone looks like a zombie because the new technologies make people look like that,  or for example, everyone judge everyone by their apparence. Or, they give more importance to what happens in a world that doesn't exist (social networks). 

I honestly don't understand why people behave this way! 

We are on a society that being emaciated is to be perfect. Where if you don't have an Iphone you don't matter. Where if you don't do what they do, you are wrong. Where being a woman means being afraid to go down the street at night. Where there are few opportunities to be happy, because in the end they will tear you apart. Where men do what they want and women are censored…

And to top it off, I don't really like it at all this way of life. 

MULTIPLE INTELLIGENT QUIZ

 I agree with that solutions of my intelligent test, I really like music like anything in the world and I think that my future is music. And I like to write, read, and drow a lot. But what I love the most is music. So, I am really agree with that solutions. 

MY SONGS.

In this text I will talk about, of my songs. 'Cause I love music, and I have my band and in this band I play the guitar, I sing and I write some songs. 
For me music is very important, just like the air to breathe, or the water to live. 
My songs are similar to grunge style or rock, since of my great influences is Nirvana. 
I have nine songs of my own, with my instrumental too. These songs are like different stories, different universes. They are sometimes personal stories, But I prefer to write about invented things. 
I love writing, for me it's a very important escape valve in my life. Many times I stop to think and I realize that thanks to music I am who I am. 
The songs are in english, of course, normally I first write the instrumental, chords, notes, and then I think of the lyrics.
