Memories of Grandma...

Seven years have gone by, seven years without listening to her voice, her distinctive laugh, seven years without watching her emotions blossom as she told her stories, her adventures. One thing I'll always be sorry for is that she never got the oportunity to see me graduate, see me standing on stage with my cap and robe ready to get my diploma. I won't see her, but I know that in a way she'll be there cheering and feeling proud. That's all I wanted, to make her proud. I don't want to forget about her and I think we never will. I remember everything, but sometimes her face becomes blurry. I can't see her, but sometimes I get little glimpses of her; In the poem my mom knows by memory, just like she did. In the little red plants with long stems and red flowers that grew outside her house. In the pencil collection she held in her house that now lays in my closet reminding me of her every time I see it. 

Seven years went by, and seven more will go on, but the memories will lock inside our hearts forever.

Why do you choose the friends you have?

Why do you choose the friends you have?

What makes you say "these are the ones I trust." The answer is not as simple as it seems, but I guess you truly can be friends with everyone, but best friends are the people you connect with the most. They've seen you at your worst and still decide to be your rocks, the ones you lean on. Best friends eventually become family. Theres nothing you can say or do to push them away because just like a rubber band they bounce back to you. Best friends always find a way back to each other, even after the worst fights. You can get along with everyone, but best friends are the sisters you didn't asked for and still are glad they're here to guide you along the way

Thankfullness

when we hear the word thankyou, we dont give much of a meaning, cause its just another word. 

but one of the biggest effects in life is gratitude, simply giving thanks.

being gratefull for the smallest things makes you happier. were not perfect, but gratitude make us better.

be grateful for your family, friends, enjoy the time you have, cause you dont know when life will give an unexpected twist changing everything.

"gratitude is living life as if everything was a miracle"

its important to be grateful everyday, with ourselves, with others, and specialy be thank ful to god, that has given us everything

New Year, New Beginning...

A new year can mean something different for everyone but one thing is for sure, a new year is a new beginning.

While some people use the new opportunity to change, others take risks and chances. A new beginning is given to us to start fresh, make amends and learn to forgive the ones that hurt us in the past. 

Some people use the opportunity to become someone they truly admire, while others set goals for themselvves, goals they would like to achieve. 

So forget the mistakes you made before and enjoy this new year, because a new page of your story is waiting for you to start writing it. This is a new year, a new beginning...

A Good Friend.

Life's too short for us to be taking it for granted. You never know when someting will take you by surprise. That's what happened to my friend: he was someone that enjoyed every bit of life, was thoughtfull and considerate. He touched the life of many people around him inspiring everyone. His love for nature and passion for music made him so talented and smart. Life shows us that no one is perfect and it's the mistakes that teach us who we truly are. 

Heaven has a new angel and he's watching us from up there.

Forgive and forget...That's what they say!

In life you'll learn many things, you can learn them everywhere, and this time I happened to learn a big lesson in a show called Grey's Anatomy. Its about learning to forgive...

"In life only one thing is certain, besides death and taxes... No matter how hard we try, no matter how good our intentions, we are going to hurt people. We are going to get hurt. And if you're ever going to recover, There's only one thing to say. Forgive and forget. Thats what they say. Its good advice, but it's not very practical. When someone hurt's us, we want to hurt them back. When someone wrongs us, we want to be right. Without forgiveness, nothing is ever settled. Hurt never heal. And the most we can hope for is to Forget." -Grey's Anatomy.

Friendship Throughout the Years!

Its overwhelming with the fact that in one year, we'll be graduating from high school. Teachers have seen us grow; from 2 years old up to 17 now. It will be hard to go, leave our friends to take different paths. It feels just like in that movie "High School Musical" when they say goodbye to each other. I think back and I remember how I met each single one of my friends, how I got close to them, how each of them has left a print in my life, how we all became brothers and sisters in some way. In our class we fight, we argue, we yell, and get mad; but we also talk, smile, laugh, and share many memories together. We are all different, but thats what makes it better, what makes it special. Its been a long road for all of us to get to this point. Some of us have been together since we were four years old, others got here later, and others are new, but we're all family.
