Medellín, Colombia


Con 250$ en el bolsillo emprendí mi aventura a Medellín. Vaya que ha sido una aventura. Comprendí que amigo no necesariamente es con quien compartiste varios años de estudios. La convivencia es la parte más difícil de una relación, bien sea entre amigos o pareja.

El paisa, mis tan carismáticos paisas. Gente de bien, de progreso. Me abrieron las puertas a su querida tierra, me ayudaron y animaron a lo largo del camino. Como un buen paisa, aprendí a comerciar mejor o como bien dicen a regatear. La amabilidad, nobleza y carisma para mí son la base de todo paisa.

En mi cabeza quedará grabado el ¡ay, marica!, el inestable pero delicioso clima del barrio La Estrella, los niños en bici haciendo caballito, las parejas tomadas del brazo, los incansables viejos verdes.

En Medellín aprendí a vivir con poco y con muchas emociones dentro de mí. Muchos momentos en los que me sentí en familia con gente que apenas comenzaba a conocer. Comprendí que mientras más pienso en el poco dinero que tengo o el poco dinero que me queda, más me agobiaba y menos disfrutaba. Comprendí que tenía que pensar en abundancia antes que dejarme traicionar por mis pensamientos porque nunca, nunca me faltó nada.

En estas tierras lloré como nunca, extrañé a mi familia, mi hogar… Más es cierto que en estas tierras me preparé para mi próxima aventura, me hice más fuerte, crecí internamente y disfruté cada día en el que no me preocupé por el siguiente.

Eternamente agradecida por haber emprendido esta aventura y de poder continuarla.

30 Things to Stop Doing to Yourself

As Maria Robinson once said, “Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.”  Nothing could be closer to the truth.  But before you can begin this process of transformation you have to stop doing the things that have been holding you back. Here are some ideas to get you started: Stop spending time with the wrong people. – Life is too short to spend time with people who suck the happiness out of you.  If someone wants you in their life, they’ll make room for you.  You shouldn’t have to fight for a spot.  Never, ever insist yourself to someone who continuously overlooks your worth.  And remember, it’s not the people that stand by your side when you’re at your best, but the ones who stand beside you when you’re at your worst that are your true friends. Stop running from your problems. – Face them head on.  No, it won’t be easy.  There is no person in the world capable of flawlessly handling every punch thrown at them. 
  A woman makes her own social science experiment. First, while very plain looking, she asked for free cake, and free taxi rides. She was rejected on every request but once. Then she got fully made up with heels, make up, and a revealing dress. She basically has everything thrown at her for free. oh babylon, you're doing it wrong... 

The Pursuit of Happiness: 15 Lessons to Keep in Mind

1. The only person that can ever truly make you happy is yourself. Stop depending on everyone else. 2. People lie, stuff happens. Don’t take it too personally. 3. Want people to think you’re amazing?

Just keep going. No feeling is final." — Rainer Maria Rilke 7. Have empathy. 8. Gossip, problems of the past, events you cannot control, negative thoughts and negative people; time spent on these is time poorly wasted. 9. When you're jealous or find yourself filled with hate for someone/something, stop. The only person its hurting is you. 10. Although the newest, most expensive material thing
