Hi Vivi, When I was 17 I almost died in a motorbike accident. In the hospital, after I left the intensive care units I would share a room with other patient. All my roommates where at the end of their life, I had my mouth stitched, so I was listening a lot from them and I learn perspective from life. None of them regret any of their actions, they regreted all the inactions they where afraid to make....
Let your spirit be like water. Adaptable, when you put water in a bottle it takes the shape of the bottle, when it’s in a cup takes the shape of the cup. So you can be yourself in any environment. Constant, se how the sea smooth the rocks, without force. Make the world around you smoother with your actions withuot forcing your will into others. Unbreakable, you can punch water, it will splash but not break....
Time is magical, we can’t transfer it to anyone else, we don’t know how much we have, it heals wounds, it brings us closer or apart, time is a dimension that is out of our control, we all travel at the same speed forwards. Don’t try to change the past, erase the scars or forget. All those choises come from fear and pain. Own your life, the family you have, the friends, the experiences and accept that the past is what it is, the present is ethereal and future it’s still unwriten....

Life is about conections, and to have the most chances in life just talk to people, when you are in school meet everybody, even if it’s hard for you. Be nice to them, you don’t know who they are, what they are going through or who they will become. Every person is a world. Je t’aime, Papá
I can’t overstate how important it is that you write. Have a journal, notebooks, whatever… Writing is a muscle, and you need to excercise it, because is the closest thing we have to thinking. The better you write, the better you think, the better you will be able to construct your own ideas and comunicate them. Every idea needs a script, if you want to do music, science, art, business or engineering, if you dominate the art of writing it will make it easier for you to grow personaly and professionaly in any area....
