Facebook always asks me: Qué estás pensando? So here is my answer.. I looked back at a few years back at my life and I think at some point my serotonine, dopamine and other hormones messed up a little bit and I fell. I felt like I was not doing enough and I was underestimating myself and what I was doing, feeling like I dont deserve the same as the others. At this very moment (and frankly a little bit down the way as well) when I was looking though my pictures only on Facebook, I realized how much I have grown and how much I have achieved recently.. I was almost killing myself wanting to achieve something unreachable - becoming milion people at once. I was always looking at other people and why are they better than me and the qualities I wanted to copy. On one hand it is a great value being able to take the best out of people and applying it to youself but not when its an unhealthy envious race for the throphy. Those times have passed. Last year I made a lot of New Years resolutions and at first I was doing very well but then I was struggling and I lost myself on the way. Right now I realized what a worthy person I am. Listening to my old friends telling me how much I have changed over the years (yes, I used to be a cry baby and every time I went on a camp I called my parents crying), how much I have grown. I was pursuing so many things and goals that it would be impossible for a human being to achieve in his lifetime. Instead I forgot I have friends all over the world becuase Ive been travelling as much as I can, I taught children in Vietnam doing a fundraiser for myself, I went to study in a language I did not know well but I wished I could improve and I made many many many dear friends. I realized I am a worthy human being that should be proud of the things Ive done becuase it takes courage and determination. I realized that we should not copy others however great they are, I realized that we should grow into better versions of ourselves. I also made many mistakes but each one of them taught me something different. Also, I realized that being afraid isnt the answer and looking back, were going to regret the things we havent done, not the ones we have. Its still not the end of the journey, of course. Yet finally I feel like Im on the right track and I hope I wont take the wrong turn again. And if I do, I will come back stronger. Im not writing it to devalue anyone and put on airs and graces. Just the opposite! I know how important it is to give praise to people and not expect anything in return. Im writing this, however, so you can also look back at your lives and hopefully realize how worthy creature you are. If you already know so, thats awesome and I applaud you for that. Nevertheless, end of the year is a great time to start over or to keep pushing to be better. I love you people, each and one of you that I came across gave me so much inspiration and Im still learning from you. Im greatful for all the opportunities I got, the family and friends I have. So give youself a break, stop and listen to youself. Be vunerable, take advantage of the opportunities live gives you, do what you love, ask questions and stay awesome. You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, you gotta be wiser (...) All I know, all I know, love will save the day
