Vuela; Fly

Bebé,

Se que vas a ser feliz siempre,

Y sé que eres mi pajarita que ya voló y seguirá volando

Pero me haces una falta terrible. 

Estoy tan orgullosa de ti y emocionada

Me has demostrado que puedes mantener un hogar. 

Pero la verdad es que nunca es tarde para aprender de todo

Vas a ver que dando recibes. 

Y que eso te hace mejor persona.

Hazte fuerte y tendrás más control sobre el resultado final: ser feliz

Que no todo es llorar y sufrir, te lo prometo.

Besos y energía para terminar con salud y alegría.

¡A cantar en la vida!

Mi pajarita linda

Baby,

I’m sure you’ll always be happy

And I know you’re my little bird who’s flown away and will continue flying

But I’m missing you terribly

I’m so proud of you and so thrilled

You’ve showed me that you’re ready to take care of a home.

But the truth is that it’s never too late to learn everything

You’ll soon see that by giving, you’re receiving.

And that will make you better person.

Be strong and you’ll have more control over the final result: being happy

Not everything is tears and suffering, I promise you

Kisses and energy to finish with health and joy

Sing through life!

My beautiful little bird

Another rising tide
Another storm to fight
Come and take me
I'm just a skipping stone

It feels like we can't get out of first
When we do it's like we're stuck in reverse

Some of the things I've learned this summer

1) When you and another person don't share the same mindset, do not force it! Take a step back. Even if you love a person or if you care for them, they don't need to conform to your needs in return. Everyone has their own standards and needs, and nobody should change that. So essentially, don't ever pull the "misery likes company" card.

2) Stop running away. Seriously. Nothing is as bad as you make it seem. New York City is one of the places that I used to dread the most just because of the amount of memories and hardships I've experienced here. Oh man did it take me a while to realize that it is not something to run from.

3) I used to be restless and insecure about staying still. Learn to take some rest. Not enjoying your home and your family is seriously overrated. They are the best comfort sometimes.

I stopped writing in this blog for a while because I turned to a notebook instead. Over the summer, I picked up the pen and actually started writing again. It's a good exercise. Writing in person has a different feel than writing on here. When I'm writing in a notebook, it's much more raw...much less perfected. It contains a lot more rage. A lot more emotion. When I write in here, it is much more thought about. There is more reflection. And I really like both. Most writers know that sometimes the initial draft of something is not what you'd ultimately like to share in the end. I think that it takes a lot of re-writing, a lot of re-thinking to really understand your own work.

Hands down the healthiest thing in the world for me has been writing in this blog.

Cause you make me feel like

I could be driving you all night

And I found your lips in the street lights

I wanna be there with you
