It's been a long time...

It's been a long time since my last post... I guess I've been busy living life, enjoying every minute of it.

I've been reflecting on my life in the past few years and I've noticed, I've come a long way. I still remember the time when I left for college, I was only seventeen!! I had no clue about anything, which was a shock to me, initially... you know what I mean? Before I got there, I thought I knew everything I needed to know about everything... and well... it turned out, I had no idea.. none.
Everything that has passed, the events that have taken place since then have helped me grow into an adult. At times, it was painful, at other times, it was amazingly wonderful.

Remembering how I got thru the sad parts I realized I did it because I was never alone, even though at times, I thought I was. There where always friends around, good people, funny people that where always there to share a laugh, to hugh me whenever I need it, to acompany me in my most darkest hour... because there where some very dark moments, you know how you have to hit the lowest point before you get a grip and star climbing back up again? I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. I am blessed, even if I didn't realize it then, I was always surrounded by people who loved me. It was hard being away from my family, since they have always been so important to me... I felt so lonely without them, but I met great people, great souls that became my extended family. I am so thankful for them, I love them with all my heart and will never ever be able to repay them for so many moments of joy and I must admit, the greatest "borracheras" of my life.

I've become a stronger person because of the love that has always been around me. Now that I'm preparing to move to another country, following a dream I've had for a few years now, I can't help but feel sad and a little nervous about such a big change. I'm leaving behind so many good friends, my family and my dear Angel, whose love I will take with me forever. I'm a bit scared, but I know I'm going in the right direction.
Now I know that I'm never going to be alone, there are friends to be made, old friends to be met and love to spread all over the world. I know I will miss many that I leave behind, but I'm sure my friends, my family and my Angel know that they have a piece of my heart in their hands, that's forever theirs. And what's in the piece of my heart that is left? Everyone I love, and there's a little space for the ones I will meet and love in the future. My heart expands, grows and has unlimited love to give.
