blind to the real society

sometimes we have to stand back and look at the big picture.

As i do that, i start to understand how lost i am. How i ve been living in another dimension, how much i miss looking at the small picture...well... kinda...

When you open your eyes and you realize that the country you have been living in for almost 15 years (or is it more?) , is not the country you thought it was, then reality hits you hard, real hard and you realize your just as snob as your neighbord, you, the one who thought who was humble , are not.

The country i lived in, the city i inhabited , the places i have been are not much different to the place i come from, in regards to housing, technology and cars, however, the real country, the one in the big picture is the opposite...while my teenage sister is busy getting the latest smartphone (BB), others teenagers of her same age are worried about how they are going to raise their children. While i was in university, thousand and thousand of miles away, and was worried about which clothes to wear, the people of my age, the ones in the big pictures, where dealing with money problems, and children, and men..... and me....i lived in a bubble.....

Now i am getting married, and obviously the protocol of my society demands a wedding, with all the decors and the right church...but..... do i really need to spend all that money??? when in the same city i live, in the parts i had never been till the beginning of this week, there are people living under iron roofs and who do not know what they will be eating next.....

A supermarket? no, the ones i have always visited are only for the hundreds of thousand of people of the city, how about the others? where have i lived all this while???? is true, i was here, only km away...however it feels as if i was thougsand of km away.......

I dont want to raise my children oblivious of what their society, its a mistake...cause when they see the big picture, and they are old, they will want to look away....cause it hurts so much, the ignorance i had....

just random thoughts...

they come and go.....and stay

I feel a bit funny, and is cause today i said goodbye to a friend..i ll see her again in march...but when that person is the one who you talk to every second of your day, a few months seem like an eternity!!! thank God technology will make the distance a bit more bearable, still...i ll miss her....

its not perfect...but it might as well be

I havent written in ages...i have been busy...yes...busy living the life i finally got...the one i dreamt about for so long, the one i was supposed to have...and somehow never happened...

And i must say its a nice feeling, to wake up in the morning and be glad to get out of bed, to not remember the last time you shed tears, to have your pillow dry... its fu*in great! i never believed it could happen to me...and it did...

And there are mornings, when a cloud passes through my mind and makes me think, why did i wait so long to make the step? why didnt i left before? maybe my life could have started earlier...and sometimes my mind darkens, my eyes feel moist, but i stand up and face the world, and remember that a mistake, even if i had to make it 1000 times to learn, a mistake makes you stronger and makes you understand where you dont want to go.

And the past doesnt leave you , quiete often comes back, in a nightmare, in a thought....what if...he leaves me out in the cold like the other one did......but then i look beside me and there is this certainity inside my heart, that makes me believe, makes me unafraid of jumping with him...

and as the days go by, im happy.....although the little devil inside my head asks me...once in a blue moon : are you going in the fast lane with a tricycle? can you keep up the race?

and i stop....and smile....whatever will come to myh life can come...i know that for now...the tunnel has ended..
