It sounds paradoxical, stupid, silly or embarrassing acts that we do in front of other people and, if we take another look at them, they are not stupid. To put it in context, keep reading the story that I bring you today...
I titled it: Kiss me a lot
I was thinking for a while about the words foolishness and stupidity. I came to the conclusion that what may be stupid to me, may not be stupid to the person who is doing it. Everyone has their own reasons... for doing what they do. It reminds me of a phrase of my grandmother "Each person makes of his life a sack and gets into it", what she means is that each human being decides what to do with his life, period.
From this analysis I developed my idea. I do things that for others may be nonsense or stupidity, moreover, I am sure that more than one friend often looks at me with the face of this is crazy, she went crazy, she is missing a nut, we lost her and she does not even know it. When I see their faces, I just laugh and remember my grandmother's phrase.
So today I am going to tell you my nonsense that is not nonsense, because everything has a reason!
Biodanza. It is a corporal expression through which we manifest what we feel with the movements of our body. No, I'm not talking about choreographed dance, I'm talking about dancing without sense for others but with a lot of internal sense, that is, for me. Here are my pots about Biodanza
I have invited several friends. Some of them have looked at us with a face of "these crazy women how can they think of doing that" and when we invite them to integrate, they flatly refuse and their face expresses loudly what their mouth is silent "stop doing stupid things!" It is very funny, because they do not understand what we do... or maybe we are the ones who do not understand them... everyone has their own reasons.
Once we did biodanza on the beach and we had an audience. Suddenly we were the center of attention. I even noticed that they were recording us, but I also noticed laughter hidden behind hands and sidelong glances ... If we stop for a moment to reflect, I would have thought the same thing: "this group of fools what are they doing?" Hahaha ... when it was over a woman approached me and with great curiosity asked me what we were doing.
My pet sabotaged my pose
Posing with sculptures. Lately I've been into posing with movements similar to the sculptures that adorn my city. Hahahaha I know it's silly. Imagine me for a moment: me next to the sculpture trying to do the same pose, people walking by see me, stop for a moment, smile and go on their way... I'm sure some will definitely say that this woman has a screw loose. By the way I recently published the post Occurrences: My life with sculptures, where I show some of my poses.

But I have a reason for doing this nonsense. I like to admire sculptures and I like photography, so I thought it would be cool to merge two things I like to do. On the other hand lately I'm challenging myself to do things in public that I didn't do before, that is, to face making a fool of myself consciously, for the sake of losing my embarrassment. Well, I came up with more than one reason.
A crazy pose
After writing the post and reflecting again, I believe that we do not do foolish things, simply, in the sight of others, we do foolish things, or maybe we do things that others would like to do, but their shame does not let them and so we fall into a spiral of judgments and contradictions.
Here the star was my pet with its pee-pee style.
