I´ve been meaning to write about this for a while so let´s get it out of the way right now. As you might remember, a couple weeks ago I wrote this angry/depressive/suicidal post, that day I just had a meltdown/breakdown (however they gringos say it I don´t remember) the day was awful, I spent the morning from my desk to the bathroom to cry, and in general I was sad and quiet and everybody noticed because at lunch everyone asked what was wrong with me, and I was like, nothing I´m fine, so the HR manager who knows me, asked me and I said that I was ok, later that day she called me to her office and asked again what was wrong, if it was something personal, if it was work and right then and there I started to cry and told her everything, about how bad I felt there, about how I didn´t think I was doing a good job... everything!! but I told her that I couldn´t just quit cuz I needed the money... she said that she understood me and asked me if I wanted her to start looking for a replacement for my position... she also told me to not worry for the money, that I was going to receive all my money as if they had me fired... I couldn´t be any happier than that or not happy but relieved more than anything, so that´s how folks since last tuesday I´m unemployed... I received all my money, paid all my debts and am more calm now, everybody at work was surprised by my leave but what can I say... I wasn´t happy there anymore.... it was nothing like what I tought in my head and in the end I felt really weird, didn´t imagine it was going to be so easy but, I understand that it was the best thing to do as I later learned that firing me wasn´t in my boss´s plans... at least for now.

I know that I have to use this free time to find myself, there´s a lot of stuff that´s not clear for me, I don´t know what to do with my life, where to go and I´m so old for that, I´m in an age where I was supposed to have some of my life goals completed, but then again I don´t know what I want for my life... I need to go somewhere, I´m really confused... I´m wasting lots of time, and time won´t come back... but I think this here is an oportunity erase everything and start anew and do things the right way... or at least a more convenient way.

Your fellow beauty gringo checkin' in. I'm not here to respond or throw out some "I think I know it all"-type advice. I'm just here to let you know I'm reading. Sometimes thats all we need.


Peace sis.

sabes qué

esa presion que existe sobre la gente joven acerca de que a los 20 y tantos ya tienen que tener casa carro carrera e hijos

me mata



ayer escuche a un profesor confesar que hasta hace un año nunca habia tenido carro nuevo
y ha de tener unos 42 años de vida

yo sufro ese estress

cada vez que alguien me pregunta donde trabajo o si ya termine la carrera creo que debe haber algo mal en mi porque tengo 23 años y parezco tener 17

pero no

me queda toda la vida para lograr lo que quiero
nadie debe presionarme, yo decido

no soy quien para ayudarte jajaja

yo... estoy pasando por un periodo depresivo pasivo fuerte (pasivo porque no he vuelto a caer en las drogas, cortarme o planear mi suicidio solo me dedico a llorar)

pero imagina
tenemos mucho "conociendonos"
y me duele saber que estas mal...

te dejo un beso

y animo!

A veces uno se ahoga en un vaso de agua y muchas veces hablando lo que uno siente ayuda a solucionar las cosas. Que bueno que todo termino bien. No te presiones pensando en lo que debes o no debes lograr, acuerdate que hay mucha gente miseriosa que quiere que uno tambien tenga parte de su miseria y por eso le crean presiones a uno. Cuidate y que Dios te abra los caminos.
