“What am I doing here? What is my place? Why do I feel like a stranger in my own skin? When did my safe haven turn into the nest of uncertainty that looms over me every morning? Yet, curiously, it fades away at the sound of her voice—oh, that voice that knows so well how to calm the greatest storms and soothe the fiercest cyclones. Yes, that voice, whose unique timbre has the power to pull me out of the place where uncertainty reigns and transport me to that wonderful place beside her.”
“What will tomorrow bring? Who will remain, and who will be gone? Will the people I care for and worry about still be by my side? I don’t want to go back to that fateful year when, in the blink of an eye, I found myself in the middle of nowhere—desolate, lost, and aimless—because my compass had vanished, and my gravitational center had become one with the stars. My faithful companion through a thousand battles, the one who never abandoned the ship during endless nights, and when the tides were at their strongest, she answered with such severity that even the fears themselves shuddered, coursing through every muscle and nerve within. Oh yes… She, who stood by me in days of joy and jubilation, the engine of my happiness each afternoon when I came home from school… That’s right, she who fought valiantly against an enemy that took root inside her, stealing her strength, stripping her of vitality, but never her passion for life or her love for us… My little Luna…”
“Between sighs, I say, ‘Yes, the old times were good,’ but those times are now enshrined in the eternity of memory that resides in our hearts. There’s a saying: ‘Not all the love nor all the money…’ But why? The most beautiful, the most sublime, and what truly moves the world is none other than love in its purest form. That love that makes us get out of bed when we think we can’t go on, that love that gives meaning to our heartbeat and purpose to our lives, granting us a compass that shows us our path. Because love contains what brings us closer to God. Loving someone with passion, purity, and nobility is an almost religious experience, for it is no longer just two bodies yearning to spend time together; it’s something more, something that transcends any physical barrier. It is the dialogue of two souls that wish to merge, for in each other, in their soulmate, they have found a reason for being that will accompany them forever, regardless of time or space, as long as they walk together, hand in hand, under God’s blessing.”
“Yet, new challenges arise, and we cannot overlook the fear they bring. Of course, there is fear; denying fear would be like denying life itself, like rejecting the precious gift of opening our eyes each morning, undermining the dreams and aspirations we hold dear. And in change, many people will leave. Some will hesitate whether to stay or go, and for those who are unsure, hold the door open for them and let them leave. New people will come into your life—people who won’t hesitate for a moment, people who will be happy to be by your side. Of course, it hurts to see the people you love start to gather their things and leave as if nothing had ever happened there. Damn, I know how much it hurts. But it is precisely in those moments that we learn great lessons about love, loyalty, friendship, and devotion. And then, when those destined to enter your life arrive, you will be able to love them better, offering them the best of what lies in your heart. Change is scary, but we cannot stop the hands of time. However, we can do one thing: Let go of the baggage of a past that won’t return, release the memories that hurt us, and only then, with lightened luggage, can we better enjoy the times to come. And if the opportunity to love presents itself to you, do it. Dare to feel the most beautiful thing that can exist…”
