First of all YES, I stole the title from an Angelina Jolie (sighs) movie! But this entry is not about the movie, in fact it's been ages since I last saw it. Ok now that we got that clear, I haven't been able to post anything and considering my last post of Monterrey being unsafe, just to make everything clear I'M NOT DEAD! YAY.. surprisingly! And in case you're wondering Monterrey just got worse, not the point though! Anyhow...
I'd love to begin this entry with this not quite simple question - what is life? Everybody has its own definition of life, I HOPE, but there's still this whole concept based upon that term, YES, everybody has it's own definition, but it revolves around this mysterious concept, and this is worldwide! Like, for example, religion, each religion is different, has different beliefs and different customs but they all revolve in one SAME thing: a superior being, but thats just logical it was just an example.Now whats the concept of life? There are some basic ground rules like having goals, never wish evil to others, act for yourself blah blah.. Karma is a bitch! Oh yes, that's a rule, one of the ugliest but most pleasant rules of life.. Everything you do, do it with love! Well that last rule, I believe, was created to make us less miserable and have a pleasant stay in this planet but still it is not easy to achieve.
I find that the concept of life evolves depending, not on your age, but on you level of maturity, it depends a lot on your priorities, and well, if you're lucky enough, this priorities won't change, but evolve as you're growing and as you make your way into the real world, like let's say when you're 15 your priority is to be skinny (just an example) and then you grow up and you find that your priority is to be a model! Thats what I meant when I said that priorities evolve, if you're lucky enough. But then you face yourself with people that get stuck in their priorities like- 15 year old girl: MY BEST FRIEND SAID I'M FAT :'( (and she bursts into tears), same girl 10 years later, SAME SITUATION, oh, trust me! It DOES happen! I know a few people that are like that, I just think its ANNOYING! Like this one time, this girl called her best friend, she got all worried because of how she sounded, so hysterical! and she said, I need your help! (crying a river), the best friend responded: what's wrong? and the girl said: My jeans are tighter! I think I gained 1 pound (bursting into MORE tears). I don't know what happened after that because her friend hung up on her, and she had an excellent reason to hang up! COME ON!!! GROW UP!
Ok, let's talk about me, when I was in school my priority was basketball, my goal was to be a great basketball player, did I achieved my goal? I really think I did, ok check! NEXT! High school, yes it started off with basketball but then I decided that sports weren't my life (just because practice took place 7 days a week), so I had to change it, that's when all my fascination for animals and Greenpeace began, and let me say this, that's still one of my priorities in life! Everything I do revolves around that someday I'll be on a ship saving Killer Whales! YEAH! ok that doesn't sound bad ass at all, but still, I love the bad ass attitude, then I discovered the musicals!! Ok here, if you participate in a musical you are automatically a GEEK! And I admit, I was scared at the beginning, and I just entered there as staff for one specific purpose: resume! for what? GREENPEACE! and I ended up loving the whole dramatic arts, its amazing, and right now thats what I'm studying and that's one of my top priorities, still Greenpeace has a special place in my heart! Ok so, I started in school because that's when all my priorities lead me to who I am today, of course I skipped out the dark side hehe..
OK I'll tell you, but don't make fun, I was so young and soooo naive! My obsession when I was a 13 year old girl: Britney Spears! YES, everything I did was because of her, or for her actually I used to send her birthday cards haha a little creepy I'll admit, but yes I had an obsession, she was my priority (omg silly and lame I know don't judge me please!!), and my goal was to go to a concert! GOAL ACHIEVED! And I'll have to say, one of the best experiences of my life, it was amazing! Though, I did cry a lot in the first half (*blushing*) because I was super excited OMG IT'S BRITNEY!!! :D :D :) :) :'O :'(
Then.. this is very embarrassing, but I'll share it with you anyway, I wanted to be a nun! YES from the Legionaries of Christ, that was a passion, and a serious cocowash! But actually that thought stayed for almost 5 years, 14 -19! So for those years that was my priority, any ordinary girl would tell lies and sneak off to drink or to make out with their boyfriends, but uh-uh NOT ME, I sneaked out to go to Church.. Oh My Gosh! I'm already regretting sharing this with you, but hey! what the hell! This is the whole point of this blog entry, isn't it?
Well, in between those years, Avril Lavigne came along! Gosh another Britney-like obsession, yes I was older but I've always been that passionate for the things I like, so I bought myself a guitar and entered to guiter lessons, which thats a good thing, but no, I didn't stay for long because then N'Sync came along.. HA HA.. JUST KIDDING ABOUT THAT ONE, fun fact, I never liked stupid boy bands (bye bye byeee bye bye - gross), but I still have my guitar as a reminder of my childhood obsessions hehe.. well, the guitar thing didn't work out so I tried to imitate her style, so I went "punk", oh yes, I used to buy all my clothes in Hot Topic, hahahahaha omg, but then, THANK GOD, I began High School in the most elite school of Monterrey, so if I didn't wanted to be judged I had to change!
Those years of my life weren't my finest hour but, still, they helped me to grow and to be who I am today, which.. I don't want to sound too egocentric but, I love who I am and I wouldn't change me for nobody else! So life.. life for me is taking all the good and the bad and make something wonderful out of it! I do believe that love makes the world go 'round, peace is something the whole world has to work on, understanding, respect, all of these little things are the ones that really count, life for me is a wonderful experience, every step you make is something new you'll discover, it's so fascinating, of course sometimes life itself gets bored and LOVES to play tricks on you, but to know that you get over it and move on is a sign of strength, growth, maturity and intelligence! Learn to laugh about the crappy unrealistic situations that happen only to you! And never set your priorities and your goals aside 'cause in the end, you're all alone in this world, and all your achievements and all you did for yourself are the things that'll make you happy, the one person you decide to wait for to be with her and finally get her, and stay with her to accompany you along your journey.. Aaaahh I LOVE LIFE! :) Cheers everyone! 'till next time!
