Excerpt

"Look how much things have changed. We are not the same anymore, nothing is going to be the same anymore. Don't you understand? We have to let go." Her back was once turned to him when they had this conversation; probably because she wasn't sure. The words were coming out of her mouth but it wasn't what she really wanted. She wanted him to fight for her. Maybe tell her that it was a mistake for them to let go. But he didn't say anything then.

"We had this conversation before."

"Exactly, nothing changed. I can't do it anymore.There are a lot of people getting hurt because of us. Most importantly, I'm getting hurt and...I don't want to hurt anymore. I'm going to walk away." She stood up to go and he grabbed my arm.

"Is this really what you want?" He asked. "Is it?"

She nodded her head. "Yes."

"If you are sure then." He said before letting go of her arm.

As she walked away, he smiled to himself.

"You know, I never thought you would stand up for yourself." He said, a smile still present.

She didn't stop walking.

"I always thought I would have to deal with you for the rest of my life."

She chuckled. "There it is, the real you. It took me a little long but...I see it."

"Do you think people are going to believe you?"

"They already do." She said before disappearing into the darkness.

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?
