El último día






El último día del año se siente algo diferente; como si algo muriera y sus últimas señales de vida estuvieran en el aire. Y así es, es el tiempo que muere, que se va. Sin embargo, el sentimiento que me provoca esta despedida no es de tristeza ni melancolía, sino de paz. Cuando el año va agotando sus últimas horas, se instala en mí un momento reflexivo en el que me pregunto ¿qué color tendrá el año entrante? Siento que el tiempo se detiene un poco, que pasa más despacio. Es la llegada de la calma en vísperas de año nuevo.
En cuanto al 2013 debo decir que fue un año bueno. Muchas emociones, muchas más que en otros años. Mañana es 2014 y seguramente será un año lleno de cambios para mí. 

2014 se bueno conmigo.

At times I feel like I may be making my way into a great future you know? Like if there was no other way things could turn out to be but just magnificent, positive, full of joy and great experiences and achievements. But some other times I don't really know what I'm looking for. I don't really know where my passion is, where I should direct all of this creative and powerful energy proper from my youthful years. It is as if I had the feeling of having it all, of having the chance to make something significant out of my life but for some reason not knowing which path to take. Because if I take path A, I may regret not having taken path B... but if I take path B y may regret not having taken path A and C and D. And all of them are screaming my name; they are all trying to convince me about being the right one. But... which one is the right one? I don't know... sometimes I don't even want to know. Oh! and for the record, yes... this is about my election for a career. Nothing new, I know. I am not the first or last one having to deal with this. I am not the only person in the world finding it hard to make up my mind about such a thing. But still... it feels as if I was the only one facing this much trouble. And on top of it I know I am not going to find the solution by writing on this blog. But it feels... ok to do it. At least I feel I gave myself the time to think about it during the day, because when I don't, when I am not searching in the web for info. from universities and stuff I feel guilty, as if one little voice in my head was scolding me for not being a serious person who is concerned about her future. It is so frustrating. I feel a minute that passes by without giving be a glimpse of an achievement, is a wasted minute. And of course... all of these leads to a the person I am. No... no, no. All of these actually leads to the person I have become. The girl who envies some people she shouldn't (not that it is ok to envy anyone), the girl who thinks by writing down lists and lists of things she "will" do on vacation to feel productive is actually a good way to be it. The girl who believes she must be the center of attention to be able to say "I did it".  The girl whose fear is stronger than her will. I am not this girl... I am not. 
This time I am actually going to give myself time not to write about what I am going to do about it, what I am going to do to try to solve this and finally get over the fear. Because I've done it before and I prefer writing about it when it is already done. I really don't want it to be just written somewhere io the internet but not being taken to action.

Please, please, please

Good times for a change
See, the luck I've had
Can make a good man
Turn bad
So please please please
Let me, let me, let me
Let me get what I want
This time
Haven't had a dream in a long time
See, the life I've had
Can make a good man bad
So for once in my life
Let me get what I want
Lord knows, it would be the first time
Lord knows, it would be the first time
