We all have trouble defining ourselves, or talking about who we are. It's so easy saying good or bad qualities about another person, but when it comes to ourselves, we go blank. Well, this is my assignment for today, to talk about myself. I think this will be the hardest blog entry. Maybe some people don't have that much trouble, but for me it's the hardest thing. My name is Frances Nicole Pérez. I'm 18 years old. I study at the UPR of Río Piedras and graduated from Academia San Jorge. I love to be with my family and I'm the biggest dog lover. I love to shop and watch movies and series. I hope I get to travel to many places and see different parts of the world. I think my biggest dream is to become a professional at something I'm good at and love, surrounded by family, maybe a son and many many dogs in my house.
Like everyone, I have fears. Maybe more than some people. I fear that life will disappoint me in ways I won't be able to overcome. I fear not making my parents proud. I fear waking up in 20 years regretting the way I did things, wishing I would've done everything differently. Everyone wishes for happiness, everyone wants to feel satisfied with their lives. This is what I want, I want to be satisfied. I always feel like I want more, like this is not enough for me. Maybe I look for it in the wrong places, I do things hoping to feel something different when maybe this is all I get. It's hard for me to focus on what I have and make the best of it instead of always looking for something new. This is something I wish I could change about me, this feeling of wanting more. I'm one of those people who feel like they're meant to be someplace else. I love everything I have and everyone in my life, I just feel like there's something missing.
Do we all feel this way? Like there's something missing? Maybe what's missing is realizing what a great life we were given and doing everything with love and passion. Fighting for what you really want without caring what everyone else says or thinks. Love yourself and show people that every time you fall, you get stronger. This is what life is, falling and getting back up. There will always be doubts, disappointment, and pain. You just have to make the best of every moment, and learn of every lesson life will give you. But most importantly, be happy.
I certainly have had moments like this, were I feel like I'm meant to be someplace else. And my fears? I definitely fear regret too! Its the one thing that scares me the most. I think, like you said at the end, maybe what were missing is realizing what we have and living the moment. After all, its not about the destination, but the journey :)
ResponderEliminarI think we all fear waking up in 20 years regretting the choices we made, This fear, this caution, should drive us to excel at what we love, and if we do give it our best shot, then there will be nothing to regret.

ResponderEliminarI also have the fear of failing and not achieving what I dream about, but I think that life just keep changing us and our dreams will eventually change. But it is really important to never give up and keep dreaming, no matter how different the goal turns out to be in the journey.
