How am I gonna live without you?

How am I gonna live without you?
Without that smile that brings me happiness
Without those ears that always hear me out
Without that nose that can feel the slightest
   scent on my body
Without those legs that know the way straight
   to my home, in thick or thin
Without those arms: the safest place I'll
   ever be in my entire life
Without those hands that know all the reactions
   of my body with every stroke he makes
Without those eyes that can look into the
   deepest parts of my soul
Without those lips that can make me touch
   heaven with every kiss
Without YOUR soul that matches in every way
   with mine
Without you all, What am I gonna do without
  all of you? Leave this place, create a place
  and go WITH you to every place you want to go.
You and me. Me and you. One whole soul divided
   in two bodies: yours and mine.

Empezando mi blog

Cuando empecé este blog, me di cuenta que quería escribir sobre muchas cosas: la vida y la muerte; lo bueno, lo malo y también lo regular; lo que me gusta y lo que NO; la sinceridad y la hipocresía; lo que hago, lo que no y lo que me gustaría hacer; en fin, muchísimas cosas. Para ello, debía investigar en diferentes fuentes de información para darle a mis lectores datos verídicos y no únicamente mis percepciones hacia el tema que estuviera tratando.

Mi próxima entrada debió haber sido "CHOCOLATE: diferentes caras en diversos sabores". Quería dedicar una entrada exclusivamente a datos interesantes sobre el chocolate, una de mis mayores tentaciones, debilidades y adicciones de toda la vida, pero decidí redactar "Empezando mi blog" porque ya me hacía falta escribir.

Para Chocolate recolecté bastante información (casi 20 páginas con margen de 0.5 pulgadas en cada lado de la hoja), leerla, es otra historia. Me gusta empezar proyectos, pero darles seguimiento y terminarlos: también es otra historia.

En el fondo, SIEMPRE supe que tenía miedo a triunfar en algo, porque realmente, antes de alcanzar el éxito, se fracasa muchas veces. Pero este tema lo tocaré en "Pero, ¿Y si triunfás?". Mis amigos me apoyan y me incitan a escribir más y a no tener miedo de exponer lo que pienso y siento. Si no fuera por los empujoncitos de ellos, The Little Thoughts of my Everyday hubiera terminado en la segunda entrada. Con el tiempo, una que otra vez, escribiría pequeñas notas sobre mi diario vivir, anécdotas simples, planas y otras, tal vez, interesantes. Ahora, en cambio, seguiré escribiendo, pues me hace feliz, porque no quiero que mis pensamientos se pierdan con el tiempo, pero aún más, porque se lo debo a mis amigos, que confiaron en mí desde el principio.

Gracias Anasilvia, porque con tu risa haces que mi día sea alegre, ya sea con rayos, lluvia o tormenta, tu entusiasmo es el sol que alumbra después de la tempestad.

Gracias a JP y a Kurt, porque, cuando empecé este pequeño proyecto, me animaron a seguir escribiendo y me dieron ideas interesantes para escribir. "CHOCOLATE: diferentes caras en diversos sabores" surgió a raíz de mis bromas con JP.

Gracias a Cristy, porque desde un principio fue una buena amiga, detallista y siempre dispuesta a apoyar a sus amigos en cada decisión.

Gracias a Andrés, porque él fue quien me impulsó a crear The Little Thoughts of my Everyday, a escribir, a no tener miedo de lo que puedan decir de lo que pienso, a no quedarme callada. Por esto y mucho más, te amo, en serio gracias por tu apoyo.

Por último, gracias a ti, la persona que lee estas palabras, porque te tomaste el tiempo para descifrar un poco de lo que soy y ponerlo en tu mente por un corto período. Espero que tú también tomes la decisión de realizar tus sueños, porque el que más pierde en la vida es el que desiste y no lo intenta, porque quien no arriesga no gana, y el que gana, alguna vez fracasó porque arriesgó y aprendió.

What happens when you try to keep your blog as a secret...

As you must know, making the decision of having this blog was pretty difficult for me. When I decided I would write my feelings and ideas, I was determined to keep it unknown to anyone else until I felt ready for them to read The Little Thoughts of my everyday.

Luckily for me, the exposure of my blog was a "series of unfortunate events" I must say. When you love a guy like my boyfriend, to keep your blog secret seems impossible, especially when he gets so excited about your new projects; this one wasn't the exception. Yesterday, he put a link on BUZZ so anyone could read "Fear" and leave their comments. Even his brother took a look at it! Fortunately, he did liked it.

Earlier today, editing my Twitter profile, I put this blog as my web site, knowing that maybe only my new followers would check it out. Making a joke to one of my friends on Twitter, he realized he wasn't following me and when he gave me the respective followback, he noticed I had a blog. Quickly, he post that "amazing" fact on Twitter and, once again, every one of our common friends would know.

Lesson: If you decide to leave your fears aside, do it right. Don't be afraid of what they may think or even say, be afraid of not knowing how good you could have been because you didn't even try, because you didn't give you a chance.

I am making the decision, will you?

Fear

I've been thinking of having a blog for my own a while now and decided it was time for me to leave my FEARS aside and start to write what I think and feel. For me, it's hard to start something new, especially when I think I'm not and I won't be good at it, so "why even bother?".

A friend of mine, my best friend and actually more than just "my friend", told me that if I didn't have any good reasons for not doing it, only excuses, I should try to have a blog, that I would enjoy it. He also said that if I didn't do it, it would be a waste because he thinks I DO have interesting things to say. "You should really go for it" he said. "I think you'll like it and it'll make you happy". And that's why I'm here in the middle of the night, "writing" my very first entry.

"I really think that not doing it because of FEAR is stupid, especially when is something simple to start." He told me that I can stop this if I didn't like it, but at least I would know why I didn't. FEAR is a very powerful feeling when decisions are made and I've decided that it doesn't matter how hard this can be for me, I should AT LEAST give it a try.

And now, think-love-write, the little thoughts of my everyday begins...
