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.

The Ostrich

A man walks into a restaurant with a full-grown ostrich behind him. The waitress asks them for their orders. The man says, "A hamburger, fries and a coke," and turns to the ostrich, "What's yours?" "I'll have the same," says the ostrich. A short time later the waitress returns with the order. "That will be $9.40 please." The man reaches into his pocket and pulls out the exact change for payment. The next day, the man and the ostrich come again and the man says, "A hamburger, fries and a coke." The ostrich says, "I'll have the same." Again the man reaches into his pocket and pays with exact change. This becomes routine until the two enter again. "The usual asks the waitress?" "No, this is F...

The 5 Step 'Aha Moment' Process

Immersion – learn, study and practice your domain as much as possible. Incubation – take breaks, have recreational time, find a balance between work and play. ‘Aha Moment’ – a natural by product of first two steps. Deliberation – be honest about your ideas. Keep the good ones, ditch the bad ones. Elaboration – get to work and make your ideas a reality. This is the most important step.

Freedom

Once upon a time, there was this little girl; she had blue hair and white eyes. People just called her The Girl. She loved to pour water over a big ants farm. Almost all the ants hated when this happen, except one young ant called Freedom. He loved to ride the waves created by the pouring water of The Girl. All the friends of Freedom told him that this was pretty dangerous, that he was too impulsive and needed to stop doing it before it was too late. The time passed by and Freedom disappeared from the farm. His friends started a search. One day, freedom’s girlfriend went to his favorite place to ride, hoping to find her boy. She saw a old ant sitting down in a rock and asked him if he know something about Freedom. He told her “There was once an ant called Freedom that became unstuck in the world. He took the wind for a map. He took the sky for a clock and set off with no destination. He was never lost.” They never look for him anymore.
