Wedding day (Pt.1) 🤵🏻👰🏻💒




August 27th will be remembered as the most significant day in my family life; that day was my sister's wedding day and her husband's. The event was planned with months of anticipation and with all efforts by my brother-in-law's family.


The preparations were supervised for several weeks and even months; a wedding can only occur one day in your life, and this occasion was special because all family and friends were invited to celebrate this event.


With the passing of the days, guests started arriving in order to attend on time. In addition, many relatives from diverse parts of the country, more intimate friends, and some other people closer to family were come and travelled the previous days.


When the great day came on, all the family were gathered and located at the church, waiting for the beautiful bride, hours before we had dressed our clothes and helped my sister. The photographer took the last photos before the cathedral entrance, portraying the family and immortalizing those moments.


Once the photos were taken, we had to wait at the doors to the cathedral and remain at the song's entrance to the begin of the ceremony. Then, when the music began, I had to walk, taking her bride's arm to the altar. Then, we walked towards the fiance one more time at the look of all guests (I could see many familiar faces, friends, and relatives gathered to be witnesses of that moment.). It was one of my favourite moments of that day and one of the happiest and closest moments I ever lived with my sister.


At the end of the ceremony, the couple had to walk to the cathedral's door, and at the end of the path, a bubbling waterfall gave the welcome. And, extempore, a local band started to play music, and some guests were dancing and congratulating the new spouse's couple.

Working life has introduced me to a whole spectrum of folks, spanning different ages and backgrounds. It's fascinating how age can influence the dynamics within a group. Back in college, my peers were typically within the same age range as me, roughly 20 to 25. But stepping into the workforce erased that age barrier entirely.  In my interactions, I've noticed some distinct patterns. The younger crowd tends to wear their hearts on their sleeves, valuing ideas and relationships above all else. On the flip side, the older and mid-life crew often prioritize climbing the career ladder and accruing material success. Bosses come in all shapes and ages too. Seasoned veterans bring a calm, empathetic vibe to the table, having seen it all before. On the other hand, the millennial bosses I've encountered can be a bit more... fiery. They're quick to react and slow to forgive, making them a bit of a challenge to work with. Sure, millennials might be shaking things up and spearheadin...

Another trip twelve years later

It has been a while since I finished high school, those were some of the best moments I have ever lived, my high school had a vast surface extension, many buildings and sections, and many classrooms crowded with hundreds of students. There, I studied for almost six years, I met good friends, some love and splendid moments that bring me a smile each time I recall. I never thought I missed my time there, when I was a teenager I swore I'd never turn back my sight to that place, now twelve years later I come back to the place that built me as a person. Last weekend, I had to work as an assistant for the referendum election in my country, as the last time I worked in the same position, I already knew what that job meant. To my surprise, the place was my old high school. I felt a nostalgia mixed with foreignness, I was part of that place for many years, but I felt like a stranger when I came back, many places were stagnant in time. I could visit my first classrooms just to find they were...

Prioritizing my to-do list

Since I started to document and follow my routine, endless things undone have reminded me that I need to make them time because they are also important. This feeling generates a guilty sentiment and anxiety for not giving them enough attention. But how do I prioritize among many significant things? Doing exercise is important, eating healthy too, studying and applying for jobs are equally important, but what receives more attention? what is not essential? This situation of deciding what requires more attention has put me in a challenging situation. Do I need to sacrifice my exercise routine to study more? What if I focus only on one thing at a time? While I worked my English routine decreased, and my motivation to study too, because as I mentioned before I was putting more time into either working or exercising. I thought I would have more time to do many things when I was younger, but the reality was different. Being an adult means you need to put some dreams aside if you want to avoi...
