Changing drastically

To feel and not to feel 

People don't leave because things are hard. People do leave because its no longer worth it. 

Everyone says love hurts, but that's not true. Loneliness hurts. Rejection hurts. Loosing someone hurts. Everyone get these things confused. But in reality, love is what covers this pain. Love is the beauty of the soul. 

Despite wonderful memories, sex, dancing, love, joy, but also embarrassment, bad times and moments... I tried my hard, I was there for the ride, I immersed my inner and outer soul into the relationship. I gave you my full attention and more. But, you are not worth my words, my thinking, after this I'm not remembering anymore, I will not allow space in my head, mind, heart, to think about you! You were fun to be with, but I'm done! 

To tell you the truth, I'm moving on to a bigger and better places in life. I have to accept the reality and let you go! 

What I need is somebody that really cares, I really need a lover to be there... So, if you want me, you have to show me love! Words are so easy to say, but you'll have to show me love! How deep is your love? How did can it be? 

In return, all my warmth, respect, love and everything within me will go towards you!!! 

Enough with sentimentalism, now is time to take a turn, write about something meaningful!! Stay tune for the next blog post, you won't be disappointed, I have something special in the oven for you!

Till next time :)  

Facing Reality, Facing the Facts!

Hope it's what makes us dream, reality is what shatters our hopes, and facts, looking at things with your own eyes, is what reinforces your reality. Live once, experiences, many.

You come from different parts of the world, you understand little, you understand a lot. We come from ways, and parts, and corners in the world with different points of view. Are you worth it? Am I worth it? Yes! we all are. We all have something special within us that makes us who we are, how we act, how we face facts, and how we deal with reality. Everybody is different!

I hope you don't forget the good times, the good moments! The passion, the pillow talk ...

Companionship: We will all, one day find a person that love the way we are, regardless of the situation in which your life is orbiting at the time of the big discover. 

The reality is, that if you think you found someone special, hold on to them. Be good, give your all, don't let them go. 

Change: It's hard, but who said that fixing the little things of our imperfect life would be easy? that's why we take to imperfect human beings, and make a perfect one. Partnership, commitment, choices. 

The fact is, that changes take time, and most of us are impatient.

Building: Starting a  new beginning with someone should be based on truth, honesty, communication, respect in the relationship, and understanding. Building thick walls no matter what (so to speak), even if there is something unforgettable. 

The reality is, that after a big argument, or disagreement, we look away, and things are over before we start.

DO YOU LOVE ME? She says yes!, the truth? She never meant it... it was all a lie, almost five months, living in a lie, a lie that was only for one purposed and one purposed only!

Facing reality, late at night!

Commitment: Are you ready? I don't think so, if you are, then you would have look at the bigger picture. Some of us are ready, the problem is that one might be committed towards a relationship, the reality is, that the other person isn't. 

Choices: Once you choose who you want, fight for it! I know out there we have fighters, trying everything they can to better the situation, even in the worst moments. But, sometimes there is not that much we can do... A relationship, love, and happiness always involve two people. A couple.

The fact is, that the other half (the other person), does not want to make that choice. Immaturity. 

Decision: Love someone (don't expect anything) but, in return get regrets, not 100% of the times, there is always that one person that will appreciate the changes you made for them and love you back even more for it. 

The reality is, that you hardly find that one person.

Transparency: You say, he says, she say! We all hide something... Short story; woke up one morning, look at my ex-girlfriend cellphone (the phone was unlock) Oops! moreover, see many text messages, many of which were not appropriate for a male / female friendship, at all. (I met the guy before) I didn't say anything about it at the moment of the occurrence.  One day, I ask her (my ex-girlfriend), if there is anything she would want to confess, to tell me, to let out, so we can start fresh? she says, "no, I'm not hiding anything." Ironic. 

The fact is, that yes, she was hiding something. The reality is, that maybe the other person was filling up the whole I was unable to feel. Maybe it is right now. 

It's reality, you were not good enough. You are facing the facts! Or maybe you are. 

Can you separate the good from the bad? Can you choose to love instead of walking away? Are you ready for something real? 

If you think you are, look hard within. Look at those things you can make better, about yourself, about the others around you. Become better, become you! 

Deep Inside

Looking into my personality deep down inside I see many things - doubts, success, love, hatred, impatient, motivation, willingness, compassion, liberal - many things that I will share with you later on. 

Do we really know who we are? Do we really look deep inside and figure out the things that make our personalities? How can we be better, in life, in relationships, at work? Who teaches us? 

At a glance we believe we are better than the rest of the world. Specifically, we consider ourselves better than our partners, friends, family members, that person next to us. We don't stop and look deep inside us, we don't evaluate ourselves, we don't take into account our  own personal experiences. 

We know what we must do, we say it, but we don't apply those things that are definitely must needed in our lives. There is a saying that says, "It's easier something said than done." I am a firm believer in this phrase, including myself in the mix. 

Why? Well, we are human beings, we are stuck in a dream, some of us actually accomplish those dreams, but sadly, some of us don't. 

In the heat of the moment, we tent to do things, react in a certain way, say words that might or might not hurt others, loose control... We shouldn't, but why do we do it? Because we don't know our personalities. Because, we must look deep inside.

To conclude with this short posting, I want to leave each and everyone of you with a sensational week, remember one thing, 1). Look deep inside, recognize who you are, give in, and try to understand what others want from you. 

From Austin, Texas, traffic... Till next time

Going Back in Time

Viewers, spectators, readers, a moment from before, that today we take for granted, a trip to an old-fashioned time that most of us don't use anymore, but it is still important.

Labor intensive, hours and hours of machinery working, high ceilings surrounding the printing press, pressing down on each sheet of paper, three different colors, blue, yellow, red. Manpower making sure there is no errors.

All the moving pieces coming together at once, several heads working, and only for one purpose, to create one great newspaper.

Dark photography rooms with access to the photos that reveal our day-to-day local struggles/scandals as well as around the world.

Different sections, the front page, metro and state, sports and fashion, giving us the greatest events that are happening daily around us.

You cannot describe this experience with words, you have to go and experience the sentiment yourself. The odor, the ink, the touchy-sensation of the paper when is on your hand after it freshly come out of the printing press, the things that compost a newspaper, it is indeed something that we have forgotten about. 

Overwhelming, big and spacious, but yet at the same time the right amount of space needed, in order to put such a great team into collaboration together, to where several minds work as one.

Our century indeed has forgotten, our new generation,  the use of electronics, which has let us to achieve the same purpose, but how did you use to feel when your fingers touched the pages of a news paper several years ago?  while having a cup of coffee, tea, a glass of juice, or water. It's an experience that you will never have again, and the only way to experience it again it's by doing what you've already done in the pass. 

Keep it alive! 

Commitment

Whenever you find your passion, commit to what you think is better for you. At the end, anything that satisfy your soul will accomplish that desire. How do you see yourself? What can you do? 

Maybe a little running or maybe a few seat-ups while watching tv. Anything is possible, and if I can do it, you can do it. 

Remember your childhood dreams, and the things that made you who you are today. Look at the people around you. A better life come to those that are willing to do the hard part of the deal. Less health problems, a better chance to stay alive in a healthy way! 

Now, do you think you can commit? Well, I think so! 

A passion, dwelling inside of you, an animal that wants to come out, but you don't let it. Today is that day, the day when you say, I will commit, I will change my future and forget about my pass, I will overcome every obstacle, I can do it! I can do it all! 

Love, is a part of you, is a part that you don't only feel it when presented a woman, or in a relationship, love is taking care of yourself, your body, your soul, your mind. 

Be strong, be you, commit! 

Company Trip! for Free!!!

As I'm doing my daily duties at work and engaging every customer with my full attention in order to help each and everyone I encounter, my General Manager (GM) calls me to his office with a very strict voice to make it sound as if I have done something wrong. Well, as I get inside the office I say "Hello, how are you doing?" and he says, "Luis, Luis, Luis..." and so I'm nervous and think something is really wrong; when all of the sudden my GM says, "You won it man!" and I had no idea of what he was talking about…

Anyways, long story short, I won a trip to Puerto Rico for 5 days all inclusive, resort, travel fair, food, and a lot of other things that I've gotten along the way, but the most important thing is, that it was not only for me, it was all inclusive for me and someone else of my choosing to take with me to the beautiful San Juan, Puerto Rico. 

As you may know I speak Spanish, it is my native language. In Puerto Rico, people speak Spanish, which is their native language as well. 

I'm super excited, I never thought that just because you do your job, you'll get compensated. Now, this only happens when you give 110% with everything that you do. My favorite words, coming from my father are; Choices, and Commitment. 

PS: Can't wait to be at the beach!!!
