-Losing control-
ReplyDeleteSome time ago, I was a young 11 year old kid that had left his natal city. A huge dillema happened in the corporation my father worked on, and several employees were fired from their job, including my father. It was the first time I ever lived somewhere different than home, and my feelings were like fruits in a blender, where some of those fruits appeared more in quantity if you know what I mean.
It was not very long until I had to adapt my social lifestyle on the new city I lived. My mother, my sister and me tried our best to mix with the citizens, but it was hard for my mother and my sister, and sadly impossible to me. It was not long until I had lost contact on the former friends I had, thus leaving me alone for the new obstacles in my new life.
It was my poor relationship with people what finally blew my strength. I couldn't face any of them for months since I was in some way indifferent to them, at least for me. My attitude made a 180° flip and worried my mother and sister every day, which was the thing I wanted to avoid the most. I have concluded myself that my weaknesses were in my own experiences and lack of self-control. I had to stiffen my attitude to get ready for any event that had to appear before me, and thus I could overcome all the uneasiness I felt inside me.
However, many have told me that my "self" is since then gone, and they have also asked me why my manners are so different from a few years ago. I told them it was part of growing up, which was in some way true. As for this day, I still learn more and more of life, and that has helped me in my inner reflections, changing what I once thought was better for what is the best.

-Travel-
ReplyDeleteThe story starts a few years from here in the past. A friend of mine in Junior high school has a nice house in a small town near a Dam to produce electricity. That friend invited me and a couple of friends to go there. The trip started good in the morning, everyone was pretty excited and we went through a lot mountains to get into that little town. When we got there we got our rooms and we were told that the next morning we will be going fishing.
That night was really fun because I brought my air gun which shoots BB´s or pellets and we went to the woods to get lumber and also to explore a little bit. While being there the night comes and our only light comes from the moon. We were a little scared but not too much because it was exciting. Then, all of a sudden, it started raining. We had to work everyone helping everyone to get out of that forest.
We encounter lightning and slippy trails of mud but we finally made it to the house. There we just sat down and talked about that cool experience. That trip while it doesnt sound that great, was really good for everyone, I learned quite few things there, like everyone needs to have some friends and also to chill out and have some fun.
-Misjudged-
ReplyDeleteI decided to talk about the misjudged topic, because it's something that we all have passed. What i'm talking about is that we are always misjudging people and those people are always misjudging us, and that is something that really affects any person and that nobody wants to be judged just for their appearance.
So here is my story, when i went to a new school, i wanted to meet new persons and to have new friends, but there was one special person that i was worried about. I was worried because i heard some comments about him/her and i just thought ''I DONT WANT TO TALK AND EITHER TO MEET A PERSON LIKE HER/HIM'' just because i had previous experiences with persons that were just like him/her (talking about personality).
So when the time passed, i talked to that person and i was sursprised that he/she was friend of a lot of my friends, and he knew a lot of persons that i also knew. So i misjudged him just because some poor comments and i ''hated'' him/her just because i thought he was going to be a difficult and a non-likeable person, but after 1 week, he just lasted to be one of my best friends and a person that i can trust and that always gives me his support when i need it.
Nobody should misjudge a person just for their appearance because it is like if you were putting a barrier between both persons; and in addition, you never know when a person could need from your support and viceversa. And it is something that a lot of people have suffered and that's why for some persons it is very difficult "to open" only because "others" dont let that person to do it, and because they just misjudge without knowing him or her.
- Friendship -
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm gonna talk about an experience with a really old friend. It's been a while since it passed but it was o real help when it happened.
It all started in a January, a new year, a new beggining and a lot of new experiences. During that times, I was of the persons that liked everything above school and and didn't had an envied avreage. In school I was considered as the "class clown" or one of the rejected. Even thought I didn't liked the treat, I got used to it and suddenly it came to be nothing but a stone in the shoe.
In the other hand, when I wasn't in school, I had really good friends, they treated me well, they liked to hang out with me, and didn't treated me like a clown, they treated me like a real friend treats one.
Even thought of these, I wasn't full,there was something that really depressed me, but I really camouflaged it, it wasn't really difficult but in the inside it somehow hurted to see that treat from people who I considered my friends, and from people who I barly meeted.
It all came good until one day when I couldn't resist it. I was walking home with two of my friends (male and a female) and while talking of the situation I couldn't resist it and started crying up. In that occation was the only time when a friend lend me her shoulder to cry and consolated me. I felt a bit embarrassed but it felt good to see that I did had good friends after all ^^.
So that's the situation, friends are gonna be always for you, but only some of those frends are the ones who you can tell they are true friends, becuase even thought the situation, they're always there to lend you a hand when you need it.
To begin with, I'm sorry my post comes so late
ReplyDeletebut for circunstances out of my control... I have to post it this late =/
- animals -
Well, were can I begin? I really never had a strange or weird experience with animals. I mean, I like animales, but not thing "cool" has happened to me that involves them. So, I'll talk about my pets, which are an important part of my family.
We used to be only three persons at my house. My aunts, uncles and cousins all live in Mexico City, or Merida, Yucatan. So for a long time it was only my mother, my grandma and me. When I was about 5 y.o. my mother decided I could have a pet.
My first dog was a small black chihuahua (all my dogs have been chihuhuas...) which I names "Luna". She was friendly and all my family loved her, even to the point of being the forth member of the family. On day, on vacations, a bigger dog bitter her... and she died the next day. We were all really affected by her dead, but my grandma was the one that really got depressed.
So my mother tought a new dog would cheer her up, so a friend of her gave her another chihuahua for free. I named her "Estrella". She has lived with us for 9 years (or more, I can't remember). She had a puppy when she was 3 years old and I named her "Sol". Sol died about 4 years ago... A doctor killed her with an overdose of anesticia.
So again, my whole family (including me) got depressed, because she was like part of the family. So, we decided that Estrella would have more offsprings. But about a year ago, she got pregnant without us noticing it. So now, we have 3 chihuahuas at home. Two half french poddle (named Teddy and Goliath) and Estrella. They are like part of the family.
