Malibu 💖

Many things have changed during this time; I first experienced many of these occurrences throughout 2022, and many were useful experiences and some other disastrous things. This week after 11 years alongside our family, my oldest female dog has passed away.

I had noticed she had problems with her breath from her; every exhalation she did turn into notorious; we thought it was normal and could be the result of the change of station during the night; the weather was cold, especially during these days.

On Monday morning, as usual, I got up and went to the yard to give the pill to my dog; I noticed that she was nervous and wanted to express something, but I didn't understand what. I prepared my breakfast and tried to give them the yolk of my boiled eggs, but she didn't like it.

I decided to communicate with my mother what I had seen before I left my house; I took my dog with my hands and left her inside my house without realizing that it would be the last time I saw her again. When I was on the job, my mom called me and said my dog was complicated; she had suffered a cardiac arrest.

Hours later, the vet communicated with my mom; Her status was critical, she had problems with her respiration, and after two infarcts, the veterinarians did not have a good prognosis. At noon, she passed away, and I felt bad; That day, I thought about how this year, apart from me, two of my four pets.

I write this blog to thank my pet, Malibu. Wherever you are, I will remember you; thanks for all the things and little dogs you gave us; you were unique, and your heart was big and full of love. Thanks for these 11 years of unconditional love, sorry for all the bad things I could have done. I will miss you a lot.

My herd is incomplete.

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...
