#maydadelvalle

Hello world! I keep telling myself that I will dedicate at least one day a week to post in my tumbler so my site would not look like a "ghost" site. I know that my last post was a little dramatic (due to the fact that I was really upset and "hurt" at that particular moment). I think I've cried for at least 2 hours without asking myself the reason(s) behind it. To calm myself down, I've watched Mayda Del Valle reciting her poem titled "To All The Boys I've Loved Before" in Def Poetry Jam (via YouTube). After a couple of hours being wasted into thinking of all the worst case scenarios... I came to conclusion that I "reacted" to the situation rather than "responding" to it. When I react to things I become more defensive and I feel like I am the victim. I do not analyze the situation and it makes me feel like the person/situation is going against me. When I respond, I allow myself to "think before I act" and provide more clarity for my next moves. I would say that I overreacted which caused me the pain that I've felt at that moment... but that's ok because I learned something new about the situation.

Just like what Ms. Del Valle said into her poem "the truth cannot be hidden what’s clouded in darkness will always come to light my love." The next time I came across to that situation, I will make sure that I will respond rather than react so I can save myself some trouble! ;)

Here's the link to the poem just in case you're curious to hear/see it! poem http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84SgGtvlbeE
