I hope I am making it worthwhile for I am trying to not only have fun, but learn every day and become a better version of whom I was yesterday. It\u2019s not easy, they say and I concur, yet as I turn 37, I would gladly go though everything once again in order to be who I am and learn what I now know, well, almost everything. Yes, there are some events I would rather change or avoid, but as I think twice, it is probably those who have molded me the most. As I child I wanted to be rich and famous. Today, I just want to make a difference and transcend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I thank for all who have passed before me. I appreciate each and every lesson I\u2019ve received because that means learning has taken place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For tomorrow I am working on my new dreams. Those I had been afraid to make come true for one or another reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I know there\u2019s still much work to do in me, for I am far far away from being perfect. I excuse myself for having deceived you, for having made you suffer, for not being there for you in a time of need. However, please know that you also have a special place in my heart and my mind, notwithstanding physical distance or that we have not been in touch for a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thank you for your light, thank you for your absence, thank you for your presence, thank you for supporting my dreams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I shall, some time from now, show me and you, them and all it\u2019s all been worthwhile.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>17h45 was the time the clock was ticking to when I was born in Mexico City on November 4, 1977.
