Greetings to all members of the community, how are you doing? I have come to a conclusion these past few days after much deliberation and discussions within my group of friends. I don't know if I'm the only one, but for some reason organizing an outing with my friends always turns into such an Odyssey that in the end we don't go out anywhere, in fact, so much so that we have like an inside joke where we are constantly sharing through our WhatsApp group promotions that have food venues and various activities to do together, all for the purpose of being able to say 'Let's go' knowing full well that we are never going to go. I cling to the hope that someday one of the outings we have planned will happen because it is one of the goals I set for myself in recent months, to go out more with them, but to tell the truth, experience has shown me that the less we plan something, the more likely it is to happen.
Yes, yes, it's a bit strange, but that's the way it is. Spontaneity is not something I'm given without resisting first but I've been trying to get better at letting myself go a bit, otherwise I'd go months without seeing my friends. A few weeks ago I allowed myself to accept an overnight invitation to the pool even though I had no money, I only had enough to pay for the round trip bus fare as a good citizen who thinks of the planet. I guess it is also related to the fact that I was invited by one of my close friends who told me that he was going to pay for everything... how can I say no to that? Free food is wonderful! But in spite of everything I have the slight suspicion that if we had planned this outing it would never have happened, I think the only thing I really thought about before that day was how I would get to where we were supposed to go because I had never been there before, the rest was to get dressed with what I found that day in the morning and leave my house for the adventure.
I swear we have been trying to go to the beach together but it has been impossible because there is always someone who will not be able to just the day that everyone can and cancels for the simple reason that if we are not all going to be there we do not want anything, the fun is in sharing all together. Last month I thought that this miracle was going to happen, we had chosen a day that we all agreed on, but just a week before it was due to arrive several of my friends cancelled, claiming that they had changes in their commitments. I tell young people to make the most of those years because when they are starting to walk that nasty road of adulthood, there will be little free time left between work and staying alive, not to mention that no one's vacations fall on the same dates, call it the work of evil. Most of my friends have their vacations when I am busy and when I have nothing to do they have endless things to do.
That brings me to what happened recently...
As we are stubborn people who do not give up, we again set a day to go to the beach together, we even made a poll on WhatsApp with several options to choose from that surprisingly yielded an encouraging result, we all chose the same day. We have not yet arrived so close to the date but one of my friends told me that they had placed their postgraduate exams just for when we have planned the outing, he does not know if he will be able to go because he wants to dedicate himself to study, a decision that I understand for being very responsible. I still have no idea if at the end of the day we will be able to do what we had planned but I will tell you at once that I have that feeling of déjà vu, it takes me back to all the failed outings we have in our history, so I have decided that from this moment on I will no longer think about the outing because clearly the universe is against us all being together. If you ask me I will say, 'What plan, did we have something planned?' To see if we run with better luck.
That's why I think we'd rather be invaded by aliens than have my group of friends go on an outing together. In that case, you might go out partying with them.
Thank you very much for making it this far, I hope you are well.

Saludos a todos los miembros de la comunidad, ¿cómo se encuentran? He llegado a una conclusión estos últimos días después de mucha deliberación y discusiones dentro de mi grupo de amigos. No sé si seré la única, pero por alguna razón organizar una salida con mis amigos siempre se convierte en una Odisea de tal magnitud que al final no salimos a ningún lado, de hecho, tanto es así que tenemos como un chiste interno donde estamos constantemente compartiendo a través de nuestro grupo de WhatsApp promociones que tienen locales de comida y diversas actividades para hacer juntos, todo con el propósito de poder decir ‘Vamos’ sabiendo a la perfección que no vamos a ir nunca. Me aferro a la esperanza de que algún día se de alguna de las salidas que hemos planificado porque es una de las metas que me propuse en estos últimos meses, la de salir más con ellos, pero a decir verdad, la experiencia me ha demostrado que cuando menos planificamos algo, mayores son las probabilidades de que se dé.
Sí, sí, resulta un poco extraño, pero es así. La espontaneidad no es algo que se me dé sin resistirme primero pero he estado intentando mejorar al dejarme llevar un poco, porque de lo contrario pasaría meses sin ver a mis amigos. Hace algunas semanas me permití a mí misma aceptar una invitación a la piscina de un día para otro a pesar de que no tenía dinero, solamente contaba con lo suficiente para pagar el traslado de ida y vuelta usando autobús como buena ciudadana que piensa en el planeta. Supongo que está relacionado también a que quien me invitó fue uno de mis amigos cercanos diciéndome que me iba a pagar todo… ¿cómo decirle que no a eso? ¡La comida gratis es maravillosa! Pero pese a todo tengo la ligera sospecha de que si lo hubiésemos planificado esta salida nunca se iba a dar, creo que lo único que en realidad pensé antes de ese día fue en cómo llegaría a donde se suponía que debíamos ir porque jamás había ido, del resto, fue vestirme con lo que encontré ese día en la mañana y salir de mi casa hacia la aventura.
Les juro que hemos estado intentando ir a la playa juntos pero ha sido imposible porque siempre hay alguno que no va a poder justamente el día que todos pueden y cancela por la sencilla razón de que si no vamos a estar todos no queremos nada, lo divertido está en compartir todos juntos. El mes pasado pensaba que se nos iba a cumplir ese milagro, se había escogido un día con el que estábamos de acuerdo, pero justo una semana antes de que llegara varios de mis amigos cancelaron alegando que se les presentaron cambios en sus compromisos. Les digo a los jóvenes que aprovechen esos años porque cuando estén empezando a transitar ese asqueroso camino de la adultez, poco será el tiempo libre que les quede entre el trabajo y mantenerse vivos, sin mencionar que las vacaciones de nadie caen en las mismas fechas, llámenlo obra del mal. La mayoría de mis amigos tienen sus vacaciones cuando yo estoy ocupada y cuando no tengo nada que hacer ellos tienen un sinfín de cosas que hacer.
Eso me lleva a lo que pasó recientemente…
Como somos unos tercos que no se rinden, volvimos a establecer un día para salir juntos a la playa, hicimos hasta una encuesta en WhatsApp con varias opciones para elegir que sorpresivamente arrojó un resultado alentador, todos elegimos el mismo día. Todavía no hemos llegado tan cerca de la fecha pero ya uno de mis amigos me comentó que habían colocado sus exámenes de postgrado justo para cuando tenemos planificada la salida, no sabe si va a poder ir porque quiere dedicarse a estudiar, una decisión que comprendo por ser muy responsable. Todavía no tengo idea de si al final del día vamos a poder hacer lo que teníamos planeado pero les voy a decir de una vez que tengo como esa sensación de déjà vu, me traslada a todas las salidas fallidas que tenemos en nuestro historial, por eso he decidido que a partir de este momento no pensaré más en la salida porque claramente el universo se está oponiendo a que estemos todos juntos. Si me preguntan diré: ‘¿Cuál salida? ¿Había una salida?’ Para ver si corremos con mejor suerte.
Por eso que creo que primero nos invaden los extraterrestres a que mi grupo de amigos lleve a cabo una salida todos juntos. En ese caso, capaz salga de fiesta con ellos.
Muchas gracias por haber llegado hasta acá, espero que estén bien.
It doesn't make any sense to plan too much, whenever you want to have an outing with your friends, fixed a date and let that date be the meeting day, it doesn't mean everyone is going to attend, because some person's will still miss the event, even if two people are present it shouldn't stop the event, this would make those who didn't attend to know that the event wasn't a joke and they will attend some other times.
Maybe the problem is that it's like some kind of special event where we all want to be there to share the moment, so we don't want to give up and we have been postponing when we can't. We've been doing it for a long time. I didn't think it would be so difficult, but years later we are still here.
looks like the world knows about your outing and it's against it..?😂😂
It's the world against me!
