Excerpt: "Bestfriend"

I found this old excerpt in my sister's computer. The story is title "Bestfriend" but I sincerely can't remember how this one was going to go.


Alexandra took a seat beside Sander. There was something obviously bothering him tonight. “Do you want to talk about it?” Why did she bother asking him? He never opened up to her about anything. Even though they were married for three years, he didn’t trust her.
He sighed. “No.”
Alexandra noticed their son Lucas in the distance talking to her father Frederick.  He wasn’t necessarily the fatherly type. Frederick was all about work but tonight he wanted to spend time with his grandson. “Well…I’ll be with Lucas.”
“Do you love me?” Sander asked suddenly. Alexandra stopped and thought about it for just a second.  Did she love Sander? She never thought about it.
“Yeah…” She turned around to face him. “Why?”
“I heard what your father said to you tonight. You didn’t say anything back and I was wondering if you agreed with him.”
“Sometimes my dad says things that I don’t understand. I just brush them off.”
Sander stood up from the bench and walked over to his wife.
“So you don’t think I’m not good enough for you?” He looked to see Alexandra’s reaction to his question but her face was blank.

“Why would I be here if I thought you weren’t good enough for me?”

Los cerebros que se van y el corazon que se queda

El ensayo: “Los cerebros que se van y el corazón que se queda”, de Magali Garcia Rami es magnifico. Me hizo pensar mucho en mí misma porque mi familia inmigró a los Estados Unidos cuando yo apenas tenia 4 años. Lloraba todos los días, extrañando como nadie se imagina a mi país. Especialmente a mi madre que aún seguía allá. A los 22 años que tengo ahora, ya estoy acostumbrada a vivir aquí. Pero no hay día que no piense o hable de mi país y de esa vida cotidiana y tranquila que se vive allá. García Rami menciona en su ensayo que los inmigrantes o cerebros tienden a reunirse hablar de el país que tratan de no añorar y esa es la realidad.               Cada vez que viajo a la Republica me toma unas semanas adaptarme. Ya adaptada, no quisiera regresar a esta país al menos que no sea de visita. Las reuniones entres vecinos, la confianza, y ese precioso mar que nos rodea, me convierte en una persona tranquila y en una persona ...

I Let Go

 When I commit to something, I like to see it through.  I work hard to see it through.   I ignore the signs and I keep pushing even when there's nothing worth fighting for. This year though, I am learning to let go of everything; I mean people, I mean situations, feelings, and anything that doesn't serve me. And I grieve all of this but in a healthy way.  I allow time to be my friend. I give myself words of encouragement. I give my body, food, vitamins, and exercise. I give my brain meditation and therapy. I read. I cry, I talk to my sister, and my friends. I Let Go. It's the best thing I could've done for myself. At the end of the day, is it really worth forcing something that's not meant to be for you?

A Lost Story #NationalNovelWritingMonth2024

 I watched a love story, a telenovela, many years ago.  I was maybe between the ages of 5-7 when they played it on TV. Something about that telenovela has lived forever in my mind. I thought that maybe with technology advancing we could see the story again. After years of waiting, I found the director (I love the power of the internet) and he gave me the terrible news that...unfortunately, the story was lost forever.  I may not be able to watch it again, but I would like to write it down in my own words. This is my project for the rest of 2024 and part of NANO WRIMO 2024. What are you writing about for the month of November?
