Random Thought

I think that every time a new year is around the corner we kind of sit down and look back at everything that happened. For some of us the memories are not pretty for others the memories are beautiful moments that they want to relive.

For me this year was about changes. Not only did I move to a new home, I moved to a new state. I'm surrounded by a new atmosphere and new people. I ended a very bad job and started in a job that is on the right path towards my goal of becoming an educator. But my year wasn't just about change, it was also about family and a deeper respect, love and appreciation for my parents in particular. As they get older, I love them more and I miss them more. I spend hours thinking about them and how wonderful it is to have them in my life.

My family may be filled with people that are unable to express their emotions but they are also the kind of people that love you and show you with actions. Now, I definitely appreciate that a lot more than people expressing that they love you but acting as if they don't.

My list of friends is not long, there is no need to have 300 friends when all you really need are a few good ones. Now in that department I'm absolutely blessed. I have really good friends and the right kind of friends.  They are my second family and a huge part of who I am.

There are a lot of projects I have created for myself for the new year (less than 2 weeks away). I'm going to take the good and the bad of this year and use it as a motivation to continue growing. 

If your year wasn't beautiful, please don't give up. Find your blessings and let those blessing motivate you and be your reason to want better and want to be better.

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?
