October is almost over. My friend came to my house and stayed the night. She gave her a warm welcome, and everything went well, although we also put out an offering for the Day of the Dead. It was difficult to light a candle and know that those who were once alive like us would visit us. All that's left is to accept reality, my reality, where I want to be someone else or try to improve myself. They are gone, but they made us appreciate those who are close to us, those who are still here... Yes, I am crying now because I am a very sensitive girl and everything around me is difficult when I cannot manage my emotions. I have been watching Soy Luna, and Grandpa Alfredo said that sensitivity is a strength that must be accepted and learned from. That is what inspires me these days, and music, the book Antes de diciembre, the relaxing, old music I listened to in high school, my memories of elementary school, the things I never said to those I cared about... all of this revolves around me, but also the hope that I will be happy because I truly long to be. Life is passing me by very quickly and I feel like it's running out, and I want to do so many things: fall in love, have romantic songs dedicated to me, dance with a boy (who likes me), share experiences. I want this, but I wonder if I'm asking too much for who I am, and I'm not a bad person. I just want to be happy, like other people.
Note: I managed to overcome burnout, I've made progress on my thesis, and I'm proud of that small but significant step, Val.
