2011 - The Year That Was

I'm looking back at the year that was. A year of everything, literally. It was 20 months ago (yes i know the title is the year that was but let me take you back...), I was playing Frisbee with my friends on a competition with Travel Factor. Nobody knew what was going through my mind that with conviction I decided that it would be my last. I have never told anyone of the true reason why I joined and why I decided to go back on working. In that moment, I simply just endured every moment I had with my friends.

I will be going on a trip. A journey, that is different this time.

A journey to motherhood. The real life begins.

I was already five months pregnant when I announced to my family (and of course in social networks as well..) that I was expecting and managed to surprise people, yet again.

In such challenging, blood draining, crying out load moments of my life; I'm still standing strong. I learned that the beauty of life doesn't come from money and other material things but comes from the people who have stuck with you as you go through your hardest times.

I'm happy. that simple.

I now have a little angel with me and every sacrifice, she was all worth it.

She shines a light in my life, every second, of every hour, of every day from the day she was born. Since then, she has been the main story of my life. It is true that I lost all the things I have. A reality that I have no other choice but to accept and yet with all the problems I faced she's just there giving me the sweetest smile of hope just when I'm about to give up. I love her, beautifully...dearly.

With 2011 about to end, I will bring with me all lessons learned from the past and move forward to another year of life's journey to 2012 that is just around the corner.

Happy New Year!
