Sometimes it's so easy to make everything ok.

Wow, what a simple and intriguing idea! A plain ol' button that you have to press in order to make everthing ok. This website just made my day, and I'm not being ironic here! People worry all the time about everything: "Did I turn off

the oven? Did I leave the light on? Does my boss hate me? Does my boyfriend love me? Are we being attacked by terrorists? Bla bla bla bla?" Most of these worries are, of course, obsolete. We complicate our lives by worrying all the time because we don't have any time left to enjoy the good stuff. This little gadget makes you realize instantly that worrying is a waste of time (mostly).

So please do me a favor, go to make-everything-ok.com press the button and be ok, at least for today. You can press it again tomorrow :)

Google search


I'm pretty pleased about the search results you get when typing "change angle" into the Google search bar. Because with search results you never know. It could have been dirty stuff! But luckily, it's all about getting better results: in mathematic calculations, in digital photography, surfing, there's even a tutorial about how to adjust your bike seat so as not to get a sore butt. If this is not a positive take on life's challenges, then I don't know what is!

First post. New angle?

Changing the angle means adjusting something in the hope that it will work better afterwards. We do that every day, and it's not only confined to technical stuff. Sometimes you have to change your angle in order to get along better with your close ones, to understand their point of view. More than often, if you're open to a change in perspective, it can really improve your way of looking at life. 

For me, changing the angle of looking at things is a big part of understanding the world we live in and the people we interact with. It's about experience, curiosity and being open minded. It is necessary for travel experiences and beautiful views. It is fundamental in photography, art and design. It opens up new possibilities in everything. That is why, when I was thinking about starting a blog and was looking for a title, it came to me that changing the angle is what it all comes down to. 
I'm not a creative artist, I'm not a stylish fashionista, not a socialite with gossip at hand every day. I live your average life and I sure don't think many people will be interested in what is not happening in it. But I love life and everything that goes along with it and when it gets me down or I can't remember what to do with mine, I simply change the angle. And I look again.
