What about after?

Hello readers!

It's been a while I don't write, well, I've been a little bit busy living.

Well, my year in Taiwan finished. I cried, I hugged, I kissed, I said too many "goodbyes" and more "I miss you"'s.

I got confused.

So it's officially one month since I left Taiwan, so I thought that deserves a post.

I arrived to the Caribbean and I decided I want different things to happen. I am tired of my monotony life here.

So I'll tell you a few things I've done since  I got here.

Well, as the beginning of the change, I started with the most important, I went out with my mom, I took lots of pictures with her, I told her I love her, and I tell her everyday now. I thank her for every little thing she does. And that smile of her makes my day every time.

I started to stand up from my bed, open the window and watch the sunrise, which I never noticed before, it's really beautiful, judge yourself.



I also started to admire everything while on the road, the way that the sun goes behind the mountains, the happy people on the road, the sun, the air, I open my car windows more. And I enjoy the drive more.
I decided to stay here, home, I decided to learn how everything works here at the restaurant, I got to learn the work hours of everyone, I got to meet the workers, I enjoyed the time of sitting in the kitchen, talking to them, see how every food is made, and just forget about everything.

I don't care anymore about having internet on my phone, or battery. 
I understood that whoever is really interested will call again if you don't pick up.

I drove.
I drove a lot, but to different places. And I discovered places. Like this.


And I learnt to disappear. To just go, and then realize there's no phone signal, and to not care about it. 
While doing that, I ended up here.


I learnt that time is about priorities, and that every person is total owner of their time, and simply that some people just choose to have some beers than to help a friend, and that's okay.

I said sorry way too many times. I hugged, I saw people, people I have long time no see, I texted people, people that have always been there and I was too busy to realize.
I met people, in the most crazy ways.

I said no. I stood up for something I want. Even if that meant to disappoint people, and that felt great. And I understood, you can't make everybody happy, you'll always disappoint someone.

I learnt to try. 
To keep trying, and that to fail, will always be better than doing nothing. When you do nothing, you fail by default.
