Do it anyway!

Since I have memory, all my life I have been the kind of guy that has lived with fear about what other people may think, over time that feeling has allowed rooted in my thoughts and impregnated with insecurities. In fact, the most memorable thoughts I recall were the ones who I put aside my insecurities and just lived the moment, where I just dared to live without thinking about what people can say about me.  Don't get me wrong, all this years, I have lived well inside my comfort zone, it protected me from doing stupid, dangerous, things during my adolescence, and even made me realize how valuable is to stay in a secure home like I had. The problem is just that in the recent years the same barrier that before protected me long time ago now is becoming an obstacle to grow up and an impediment to develop my life. The last couple events showed me that if I am disposed to doing new things I will develop a strong foundation against rejection and even I will have better histories to tell...

A Year Ago.

It was exactly a year ago, when the last family member came to this world, just to change ours. This day but in 2023, my nephew was born and all my family were there to see him. It was a charm day, despite the cold weather of January, the atmosphere was fully of joy and ilusion. I remember asking for day off, in my job the things were a little complicated, but I could go and see with my own eyes the birth of this new member. When I came at the hospital, he was already born, but nobody could see him, with exception of his parents and my mom, so we had to wait until my sister recover from anestesia. When finally could see him, all my family was excited, suddenly they started to compare him with other family members, Who was he most like ? When I finally could see him, It was the first time I had in my arms a newborn, the idea of holding him scared me, babies can be fragile and I was nervous of hugging hard. Since then, our lives changed, the house suddenly had baby toys, nappies, bab...

Ecuador a country of conflicts

Numerous experts predicted an increase in unemployment and delinquency in the new year. However, the newly elected president, who assumed office in November, had a better understanding of our country's situation. In recent times, we have dealt with energy blackouts, sanitary emergencies, gangs, narcotraffic, economic crises, and more. On Sunday, Fito, the leader of the Choneros criminal gang in Ecuador, known for controlling guns, narcotics, and other criminal activities, escaped from prison, making him one of the most wanted men in the country. The president has declared a state of emergency and ordered the military and police forces to conduct a nationwide search and arrest the criminal. The criminal will be taken to a maximum security prison. However, this decision has stirred up unrest among various gangs and thieves, who have announced that they will engage in looting and riots to protest against the president. Currently, my country is in the midst of a war between criminal gr...

New Year

Image
2024 is finally here, with a new year comes new resolutions and goals, and of course new challenges. Although I believe that you can change whenever you decide, the January effect is real, it gives you 365  (or 366 if leap-year) new days to make a new habit, and reach goals and dreams. This year I began celebrating with my friends, I decided to spend my time here rather than with my family, it was a personal decision, I finished my 2023 being at peace with myself and my family, forgiving my faults and learning about them. Having created a new year's resolution; now I will work on creating the new habits that I chose for this new year, my personal brand, my finances, and my connections. Without forgetting about my physical and mental health. Yesterday I decided to delete all social media from my phone, I'll just use message apps and image apps, everything else is unnecessary. I did that because I needed to focus more on the present, instead of distracting myself with random vide...
