Flying Away

Whistling buildings above my head

Melodies of wind shake my flash

While in the midnight, TV screeners

Talk full of wide open eyes.

Sometimes I get lost and I no longer know who I am

Then, as a bird in flight….

A lightning breaks into my mind

Leaving hundreds of pieces …

Far away strangers’ faces vanished

And again I fell onto this obscure and deep whole…..

And found no way home.

Holidays

My ideal holidays are very simple indeed. I don’t want to travel abroad, although I don’t dislike the idea. I would like to stay in one peaceful place, surrounded by nature, without any trace of civilization near me. The only thing to worry about is the fact of not doing anything at all. Maybe my family could come with me but just for a couple of days (they are noisy guys).The presence of my boyfriend is a must. A couple of years ago I had a holidays just like the one I am describing here. It took place in Lara which is located in Tafí Del Valle, it is a place not easy to access but the effort is worth. We had to take all the supplies with us, from water to soap. I went there with 3 friends. We stayed in my grand mother’s house for almost a month.
At the beginning it was difficult to get accustomed to. The living habits there are so much different from the ones in the city. To begin with, the day starts with the sunlight more or less at 5:30 and it ends at 7:00 in the afternoon. The only means of communication were a radio and our cellular phones. The funny thing regarding our cellular phones was the fact that we had to climb a little mountain to get the signal to get in touch with civilization. So as the effort was too much we only tried once.Thre we spent 34 days. We walked for hours, talk endlessly and share a lot.

A fast drive to home

I have always been keen on cars. The first time I tried to drive was at the age of 18. One of my friends was given a car by her father and she already knew how to drive. In that way she used to picked me up from home and we go driving all around the city. Then she asked me if I wanted to learn how to drive; of course my instant answer was yes!! At first I dared to state the car, but one day I was fed up with that routine and I decided to go even further. She taught me how to put the first gear, and accelerated it! It was fantastic!! I drove it for 2 metres long! Of course my parents never knew about my first experience with a car. Next time I adventured to go a little bit further, untill one day I drove till we get to a near park. To our big surprise my father saw me driving someone else’s car. He couldn’t believe what his eyes were watching! He went mad and desperately went directly to my house to tell the whole story to my mother. I almost fainted when I got home and they both, my parents, were waiting for me at the house entrance ready for telling me off because of my adventure of driving an estrange car. I told them the whole truth but it was in vain, they didn’t like the idea and forbid me to drive my friend’s car or anyone else’s car again. I don not think I will always forget my father face when he approached to the car. It was not afraid of him but in sublime surprise. Currently I do not have a car, however I still don’t get desperate. I certainly know one day I’ll be able of buying my own not to drive anyone else’s car.

Take your time

Taking time to do things is as important as breathing. Whenever we start doing something we need time to fulfil our objectives in the best way. We live on a constant hurry, after too many things and at the end of the day, when time to do a daily balance arrives, we find out that everything is incomplete or not properly done. Haven't you thought that the main problem is the lack of time?
If we are capable of organizing our routines better we will have plenty of time to work out things, to do them in the right way. It is so common to hear people complaining about the amount of things they have to do. We blame our bosses, children, partner, friends or even the bus driver who doesn't drive fast enough to get on time. But we have to realise that they are not the ones to be blamed, but us. We must slow down, breathe and rest. Taking too many activities to be done is not that beneficial. The more we get involve in different activities, the less we achieve. Afterwards, we do not feel happy but depress and tired; our expectations towards some issues vanished and nothing at all is well done.
So take your time, think and rest. Take time to relax and enjoy life, because if you get accustomed to run in life you will miss all the precious things it has for you everyday. Make an effort and relay on someone else, trust on somebody and allow yourself to be helped. At the end of each day you will find out that you feel better and everything you have done turns out better too.

Enjoy your day by day

YESTERDAY WAS REALLY A NICE DAY FOR ME. SOMEONE TOLD ME I HAVE TO LIVE MY LIFE WITHOUT TAKING INTO ACCOUNT WHAT OTHERS MAY THINK OR SAY. HOWEVER, IT IS SOMETHING VERY DIFFICULT FOR ME TO ACHIEVE BECAUSE I TEND TO THINK A LOT BEFORE DOING SOMETHING. I THINK OF THE POSSIBLE CONSEQUENCES OF MY ACTIONS, HOW TO MANAGE THEM AND THE POSSIBLE REACTIONS ON OTHERS.
I MUST SAY THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN A CHARACTERISTIC OF MY PERSONALITY AND IT IS NOT EASY FOR ME TO MODIFY IT. I ALSO DARE SAY THAT I’ VE NEVER HAD ANY KIND OF TROUBLES, BUT SOMETIMES I REGRET FOR NOT DOING THE RIGHT THING IN THE RIGHT MOMENT DUE TO MY DOUBTS OR INSECURITIES. I DONT KNOW IF IT IS RIGHT OR NOT, BUT THAT S THE WAY I AM.
I SAID THAT YESTERDAY WAS A NICE DAY FOR ME, MAYBE BECAUSE THAT PERSON MADE ME FEEL IMPORTANT, A FEELING I HAD FORGOTTEN A LONG TIME AGO.
BEING IMPORTANT FOR SOMEONE IS A VERY NICE FEELING, DONT YOU THINK THAT? I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT RECEIVING PRESENTS OR MATERIAL THINGS. I MEAN BEING IMPORTANT FROM THE POINT OF VIEW THAT SOMEONE WANTS THE BEST FOR YOU AND MAKES YOU KNOW JUST WITH A SIMPLE PHRASE SUCH AS “HAVE A GOOD DAY” OR “I MISSED YOU”.
MAYBE, MANY OF YOU WHO ARE GOING TO READ MY WRITING WILL UNDERSTAND WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT. I HOPE YOU HAVE A GOOD DAY TODAY AND MAKE IT LAST.

The last year

This year I’ll be doing the last year of my career and it is inevitable to start to think about my graduation and what follows then.
I have so many long-term plans…Once I complete this career, I’d love to travel to an Anglo-Saxon country and learn about its culture. I haven’t got a specific country yet though I only want to be for a while in a foreign country where I can use the language I learnt. That’s it.
When I come back I’d like to move on my own. I love my family (and maybe they disagree with this idea) but I need to be independent and have my own place. Once I settle down, I’ll start studying photography (just as a hobby) and language sign so I be able to communicate with deaf people (especially with children). I’ve always loved taking pictures and some people told me I have a sort of special talent which needs to be developed I guess, and apart from that, language sign wake my interest when I was a teenager but I never toot it seriously.
And finally, although I’m not the sort of person who dreams about having a family, I have to say that it is included in my plans. Like the majority, I’d like to have a lovely husband, wonderful children and a dog and a cat waiting for me when I arrive home, but I think that before that, my professional achievements will be in the first place.
