🐕‍🦺❣️




A year ago, it was the last time I would see your eyes; I still wonder if there was something I could do before you left us. I never stopped thinking about you a single day; the strolls and the park have never been the same.


I only have the memories and the moments we shared; thank you for protecting my family even when I was not there. It hurts when Google reminds me of a picture, moments lived years ago when we were running or just captured the moment, those moments that I aspire to at least have given you a good life.


I promised you to care for the rest of the herd; sometimes it is not easy, now like maybe years before, we were facing problems, but when I recall the old days, I realize that I was fortunate to have you; you shaped my heart and fixed it when it was hurt.


If you were here, you'd see that the family has grown, now we have another member, but unfortunately, we lost another one nearly simultaneously. Sometimes, the backyard seems empty; I never thought I would see it. Pinky looks much older though some days he recovers his force; your sister has progressed, and now she likes to walk but only a few minutes whatsoever.


It is crazy that time flies so fast. I still continue to find my route; it is challenging to find it; I try to be the man I think you thought I was.

"OK Boomer"

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...
