De verdad me imagino que están un poco cansados de este tipo de post, pero yo siento la necesidad de compartir con ustedes un poco de lo que fue mi 2022 y de porque esto tan agradecida con la vida y con Dios, por haberme permitido disfrutar tanto de un año lleno de carga positiva y amor, sin contar que fue un año bastante inactivo para mí por esta comunidad y deseo que sepan un poco de lo que estuvo pasando en mi vida. Así que aquí vamos:
I really imagine that you are a little tired of this kind of post, but I feel the need to share with you a little of what my 2022 was like and why I am so grateful to life and to God, for having allowed me to enjoy so much of a year full of positive charge and love, not to mention that it was a rather inactive year for me for this community and I want you to know a little of what was going on in my life. So here we go:
For a long time I had wanted to try different things, go to different places, with different people, because being pigeonholed is not something I like. In this opportunity I decided to highlight that I dared to present and compete with my own soloist, something that I had considered many times, but I had not done for fear of failing, even then I realized that I failed more by not doing it than by losing in a competition, which I also did🤭; but this time just the fact of daring to get on a stage alone, with all my fears and insecurities on my back, competing against great dancers made me feel better than I had imagined, even more when I received congratulations from all those who saw me. In case you were wondering, there were 28 participants and I came out top 10 in the scores.
While they say that reading feeds the soul, traveling enriches it. This year I had the opportunity to travel to two beautiful places in my country, and although to many it may not seem like much, for me it is a breakthrough, because I usually do not travel anywhere. Anyway, the point is, that 2022 allowed me to know a very dreamed place for me: La Colonia Tovar, a town full of love, traditions and history, with a perfect climate and people that fills your heart; the theory says that it is a fusion of Venezuela and Germany, but for me it was simply La Colonia, a magical space, with its strawberries, cabins and the peace that you live when you walk through its streets, no doubt I could go a thousand times and not get tired of it. On the other hand, I had the opportunity to return to Margarita, the so-called pearl of the Caribbean, and although it was to compete, it really is a trip that continues to make me happy and fills me every time a little more emotions. Sincerely I love to travel, it is one of my newly discovered passions and I would not want to stop doing it.
Plot twist de las historias: En ambas ocasiones, me encontré a mi misma, encontré mi confianza, volví a poner mi corazón en ello, y logré los objetivos.
Although I tend to be a positive person, positive people also get tired, we sink, we lose the north and we stop getting excited about things as before; in my case I had two moments this year in which I consider that I lost my north, the first was to return from Margarita, where I felt too sad and useless, I just decided I did not want to dance more, and even knowing that my work was not bad, I felt very unmotivated, unwilling to continue doing what takes years passionate and giving me impulses to continue: Dancing. At first I tried to force myself to continue, to attend classes and to find my heart there, but then I understood that I needed time for myself, to breathe, to find myself and then return to my passion. Another moment was when I was about to finish my 6th semester, because I was about to postpone a key subject, that would allow me to advance or not to the next semester, when I realized that I would have to take the exam to repair (an exam of all the content, where if you postpone, you postpone the subject too), I lost all my faith, both in myself and in the situation, I mentally locked myself in myself, I did not know what to do or how to react, in the end, I understood that I just needed to cry and release that fear, unburden myself and find myself again.Plot twist of the stories: On both occasions, I found myself, found my confidence, put my heart back into it, and achieved the objectives.
I know this item is a bit redundant, but the truth is that despite the not so good things, I was happy, I breathed, I lived, I enjoyed, I did things I did not think I would do, I achieved goals that seemed unattainable. And although I had support from many people, I know that most of these things happened because I gave everything I had to make it happen. This year made me happy because I understood that I can do things, that I am strong, brave, that I love and respect myself, and that, dear friends, brought me too much happiness. Because even though I still have insecurities, fears, sadness and so on, I know that I can overcome them and move forward when necessary. I can also say that I am happy because I still have a family that loves and supports me, and friends that are worth gold. Special aside, to say that this year that just ended, also gave me my beautiful baby girl: Maya. Another thing that obviously made me and makes me happy.
So yes, thank you my dear 2022 for showing me that I can grow to the size of the challenge that presents itself, for giving me unforgettable moments, wonderful people and growth and experiences that I will carry in my heart.
