Maybe family is the answer I'm looking for

Toda mi vida me la pasé en un proceso de negación constante, negando un sentimiento de felicidad que estuvo en mis ojos todo este tiempo, con miedo a estar sola, con miedo a no ser lo suficientemente buena para los demás. Preocupándome por el qué dirán, perdiendo mi esencia, sin saber quién era yo realmente, me negaba a aceptarlo, me negaba a aceptar que me estaba equivocando, quise tapar el sol con un dedo y por supuesto, es algo imposible, ya que lo que está a simple vista no se puede negar con facilidad. Abrir los ojos es un trabajo que me sigue costando, ya que cuando estoy pasando por un momento difícil, la vista suele nublarse, lo bueno, es que estoy aquí trabajando por ello, abriendo mi corazón sin temor.

I spent my whole life in a process of constant denial, denying a feeling of happiness that was in my eyes all this time, afraid of being alone, afraid of not being good enough for others. Worrying about what people will say, losing my essence, not knowing who I really was, I refused to accept it, I refused to accept that I was making a mistake, I wanted to cover the sun with a finger and of course, it is something impossible, since what is in plain sight cannot be easily denied. Opening my eyes is a job that is still hard for me, because when I am going through a difficult moment, my sight is usually blurred, the good thing is that I am here working for it, opening my heart without fear.

Mi familia a pesar de todo ha estado ahí en mis peores momentos, intentando subirme el ánimo, con sus ironías, sus ocurrencias, sus chistes medio hirientes, pero intentando a estar. Cosa que no supe aprender a valorar hasta ahora, puesto que, me estoy permitiendo conocerlos, estoy permitiendo ver quien soy con ellos, entendiendo sus situaciones, sus imprudencias, sin desvalorizarme, solo estando ahí, siendo parte del convivir. Pueden notar cuando estoy triste, no sé si es porque en ocasiones suelo ser muy obvia con el sentimiento, o porque me conocen, es lindo ver como intentan subirme el ánimo, incluirme en sus actividades, tienen una idea predispuesta de mí, hecho que realmente no los culpo porque he evitado estar, sin querer afrontar la realidad. Quiero que sepan que aquí estoy, aquí estaré pase lo que pase.

My family in spite of everything has been there in my worst moments, trying to cheer me up, with their ironies, their witticisms, their half-hurtful jokes, but trying to be there. Something that I did not learn to value until now, since I am allowing myself to know them, I am allowing myself to see who I am with them, understanding their situations, their recklessness, without devaluing myself, just being there, being part of living together. They can notice when I am sad, I don't know if it is because sometimes I am very obvious with the feeling, or because they know me, it is nice to see how they try to cheer me up, to include me in their activities, they have a predisposed idea of me, a fact that I don't really blame them because I have avoided being, not wanting to face reality. I want them to know that I am here, I will be here no matter what.

Hoy fue un día que me uní a ellos, fuimos los 3 de la casa a hacer diligencias, faltaban cosas por comprar y aprovechamos el tiempo para hacerlo. Luego, fuimos a comer, he de admitir que fue muy agradable, salió mejor de lo que esperaba, hicimos chistes tontos que sólo nosotros logramos entender, me contaron un poco sobre sus vidas, algunas actividades que estaban realizando, no tenía ni idea, me sentí un poco mal por excluirme, el tiempo pasa volando y estoy perdiéndome de momentos en familia, momentos que merezco tener, disfrutarlos y vivirlos como debería.

Today was a day that I joined them, the 3 of us went from the house to run errands, there were things to buy and we took advantage of the time to do it. Then, we went to lunch, I have to admit it was very nice, it went better than I expected, we made silly jokes that only we managed to understand, they told me a little about their lives, some activities they were doing, I had no idea, I felt a little bad for excluding myself, time flies by and I am missing out on family moments, moments that I deserve to have, enjoy them and live them as I should.

Es un poco nuevo todo esto para mí, no puedo negar que he estado intentando tener mi espacio, no me gusta que me molesten cuando estoy nostálgica, disfruto la soledad, solo que, también los necesito, un abrazo, sentir ese calor de compañía que me pueden brindar. Han cometido sus errores, me han hecho sentir mal, pero es lindo ver como cada acción pasada intentan enmendarla con mucho amor, con palabras, momentos, estando nada más. Sobre todo, mi madre, ha intentado hablar conmigo, intentar abrir mi corazón para saber lo que está pasando, aun no me siento completa para contarlo, hablarlo, es incómodo, solo quiero alguien que esté allí, hablar cualquier cosa, compartir, reír, para mí eso es más que suficiente.

It's a bit new all this for me, I can't deny that I have been trying to have my space, I don't like to be bothered when I'm homesick, I enjoy the solitude, only, I also need them, a hug, to feel that warmth of company that they can give me. They have made their mistakes, they have made me feel bad, but it is nice to see how every past action they try to make amends with a lot of love, with words, moments, being nothing more. Most of all, my mother, has tried to talk to me, try to open my heart to know what is going on, I still don't feel complete to tell, talk about it, it's uncomfortable, I just want someone to be there, talk anything, share, laugh, for me that's more than enough.

No esperaba tener un día tan bonito hoy, menos con ellos, la vida está intentando sorprenderme de una manera única, dándole un giro completamente inesperado y poniéndome circunstancias que jamás, me hubiera imaginado. En mi casa, sólo somos nosotros 3, mi padrastro, mi mamá y yo, debemos apoyarnos, debemos tener tiempo de calidad en familia, a veces, eso es justo y necesario. Nos hemos dejado hundir por problemas que se pueden resolver, que eso nos ha cohibido el disfrutar juntos, espero no siga ocurriendo, creo, que estamos madurando en un aspecto nuevo, y eso, es espectacular.

I didn't expect to have such a nice day today, less with them, life is trying to surprise me in a unique way, giving me a completely unexpected turn and putting me in circumstances that I would have never imagined. In my house, it's just the 3 of us, my stepfather, my mom and I, we must support each other, we must have quality family time, sometimes, that's just and necessary. We have let ourselves sink by problems that can be solved, that has inhibited us from enjoying together, I hope it does not continue to happen, I think we are maturing in a new aspect, and that is spectacular.

También decidí tomarme un día para mí, organizar un poco mi desastre mental, darme cuenta que todo en esta vida pasa por algo, ya sea lo bueno o lo malo. Creo en los reencuentros y en las vueltas que da la vida, todo puede cambiar de un día para otro, todo puede volver en cualquier momento, debo disfrutar del hoy sin aferrarme mucho a nada. Por eso, quise tomarme la tarde, antes del atardecer para pensar, tomar decisiones que a la larga, serán de mi beneficio. Ya tengo 21 años, ya debo actuar antes que hablar, es importante, es parte del proceso, parte de mi crecimiento.

I also decided to take a day for myself, to organize my mental mess a little, to realize that everything in this life happens for something, whether it is good or bad. I believe in reunions and in the twists and turns of life, everything can change from one day to the next, everything can come back at any time, I must enjoy today without clinging too much to anything. That is why I wanted to take the afternoon before sunset to think, to make decisions that in the long run will be to my benefit. I am already 21 years old, I must act before talking, it is important, it is part of the process, part of my growth.

Mi madre me dio una invitación que me dejó un poco sorprendida, me invitó a que fuéramos a caminar el día de mañana, luego, irnos a desayunar. Estoy ansiosa, no tengo ningún tipo de perspectiva, solo quiero dejarme llevar, quizás tome la decisión de hablar con ella un poco, dejar ablandar mi corazón, salir lo que en verdad siento, la conozco, sé que preguntará sobre curiosidades que tiene, trataré lo ser despectiva, es parte de mi vida, mi día a día, merecemos tiempo de calidad una con la otra. Aunque mi padrastro está con nosotras, pasa mucho tiempo trabajando, puede que sea el momento para unirnos más.

My mother gave me an invitation that left me a little surprised, she invited me to go for a walk tomorrow, then, go for breakfast. I am anxious, I don't have any kind of perspective, I just want to let myself go, maybe I will make the decision to talk to her a little, let my heart soften, let out what I really feel, I know her, I know she will ask about curiosities she has, I will try not to be dismissive, she is part of my life, my day to day, we deserve quality time with each other. Although my stepfather is with us, he spends a lot of time working, it may be time to bring us closer together.

El dejarme llevar ha sido una pieza fundamental estos días de soledad, me he creado tantas expectativas y ha sido un poco doloroso que no se vuelvan realidad. Por eso, espero el día de mañana tenga un comienzo y un final alegre, estoy pasando por un momento difícil que quiero aceptar la compañía de mi madre, quiero vivirla, la he extrañado tanto que quiero hacerlo, me cambiaría en todos los aspectos. Prefiero darme la oportunidad de vivir, de tener momentos excepcionales, sin esperar nada, solo dejando fluir todo. Debo levantarme temprano si quiero tener un gran día, así que, es todo por hoy, espero mañana tener una linda historia por escribir.

Letting go has been a fundamental piece these days of loneliness, I have created so many expectations for myself and it has been a little painful that they do not come true. That is why I hope tomorrow will have a happy beginning and end, I am going through a difficult time that I want to accept my mother's company, I want to live it, I have missed her so much that I want to do it, it would change me in all aspects. I prefer to give myself the opportunity to live, to have exceptional moments, without expecting anything, just letting everything flow. I must get up early if I want to have a great day, so, that's all for today, I hope tomorrow I will have a nice story to write.

This just reminds me of the popular saying that family is everything. Sometimes that time spent with family, can do the trick.

Hi @joydukeson, well yes, my way of thinking towards them changed in an unexpected way, maybe they are the answer I have been looking for so long, a hug!

Así es amiga, disfruta cada momento, sin pensarlo mucho y déjate llevar. Un abrazo.

¡Muchas gracias! De ahora en adelante pienso proponerme disfrutar más de lo que me brinda la vida, que es mi familia. Un abrazo.
