27 - Difficult time to learn
I understand that this pandemic has been a very difficult time for everyone... But the truth is that for me it hasn't been the worst time i've had, and i warn you that it's coming a delicate issue next, i'm not used to it, but this challenge has brought out everything out in me...
The worst months of my life were when i was 16, just fulfilled. It was a difficult time because i was going through a series of situations that together marked a before and after in my life... they drove me crazy at the time. And I learned a lot about what happened

27 - Momento dificil para aprender
Yo entiendo que esta pandemia ha sido un momento muy dif铆cil para todos... Pero la verdad es que para m铆 no ha sido el peor tiempo que he pasado y advierto que viene tema delicado a continuaci贸n, no acostumbro a hacerlo, pero este challenge ha sacado a relucir todo de m铆...
Los peores meses de mi vida fueron cuando ten铆a 16 a帽os, casi acabados de cumplir. Fu茅 una 茅poca dif铆cil porque estaba pasando una serie de situaciones que juntas marcaron un antes y un despu茅s en mi vida... me volvieron loca en su momento.

But to put you in context the first thing i have to say is that i come from a family that is have much machism and i have a very controlling father... and as a good flirty girl i had my first boyfriend at 14, my first boyfriend and on top of this my first toxic relationship... imagine a girl understanding love + a controlling and jealous father + a toxic boyfriend = obviously nothing good was going to come out from it.
But well, the thing is that when you come from a family that instead of teaching you how to have a boyfriend, what to do with your boyfriend, what attitudes are correct or not... they prefer to force you just not to have him and no and no... and me as a rebel without a cause i did it anyways, hidden, (because the worst thing you can do to a teenager is to forbid him something without explanation) i was left in the problem without help and without supervision... a relationship where the boy looked for me when he wanted, stopped talking to me when he wanted, didn't give me the importance or attention and was the typical womanizer of the class... and of course, like all women, i was in love with my supposed prince charming (which by the way, romantic movies and Disney fill us with unrealistic ideas of what love is, but this topic is enough for another post). I didn't even pay attention to my friends... and as a consequence, i lost them because i spent more time with my boyfriend than with my friends, who, of course, i could only see at school because my parents wouldn't let me go out with him, this was expected to happen.
Then it turns out that my 篓friends篓 were not really my friends, they spent their time criticizing others and envying me... one of them took it upon herself to tell her mom what i was doing, this reached the ears of my parents and the war began in my house. That i don't have to go into much detail, but for those who don't know about Latino homeschooling, it can be a clue that it's very aggressive and violent.
After that, they made me break up with the kid but i kept going to 篓more hidden篓. This was almost at the beginning of the relationship, then the problems started, i used to break up with him because he didn't pay attention to me, then he used to come and apologize to me... we lasted 1 month happy and then it happened again... a vicious circle.
Pero para entrarte en contexto lo primero que debo decir es que vengo de una familia que es muy machista y tengo un pap谩 muy controlador... y como buena coqueta que soy tuve mi primer novio a los 14 a帽os, mi primer novio y adem谩s de esto mi primera relaci贸n toxica... imag铆nate una nena entendiendo el amor + un padre controlador y celoso + un novio t贸xico = obviamente no iba a salir nada bueno de all铆.
Pero nada el tema es que cuando vienes de una familia que en vez de ense帽arte c贸mo tener un novio, qu茅 hacer con tu novio, que actitudes son correctas o no... prefieren obligarte a no tenerlo y que no y que no... y yo como rebelde sin causa lo hacia a escondidas, (porque a un adolescente lo peor que puedes hacer es prohibirle algo sin explicaci贸n) qued茅 metida en el problema sin ayuda y sin supervisi贸n... una relaci贸n en donde el chico me buscaba cuando quer铆a, me dejaba de hablar cuando le daba la gana, no me daba la importancia ni atenci贸n y era el t铆pico mujeriego del curso... y claro como toda enamorada, de mi supuesto pr铆ncipe azul ( que eso es otro problema, las pel铆culas rom谩nticas y el mundo de Disney nos llenan de ideas irreales de lo que es el amor, pero ya este es tema suficiente para otro post ) no le hacia caso ni a mis amigos... que por consecuencia los perd铆 porque me pasaba m谩s tiempo con mi novio que con mis amigos, que claro como solo lo pod铆a ver en el colegio porque no me dejaban salir con 茅l, era de esperarse que esto iba a pasar.
Luego resulta que mis 篓amigos篓 no eran realmente mis amigos, se la pasaban criticando a los dem谩s y envidiando... una se encarg贸 de decirle a su mam谩 lo que yo estaba haciendo, esto lleg贸 a o铆dos de mis padres y comenz贸 la guerra en mi casa. Que no tengo que entrar mucho en detalle, pero para el que no conoce la educaci贸n en casa latina, puede tener como pista que es bien agresiva y violenta.
Despu茅s de eso, me hicieron terminar con el chico pero yo segu铆a a 篓escondidas篓. Esto fu茅 casi al inicio de la relaci贸n, luego fueron comenzando los problemas, yo le terminaba porque no me pon铆a atenci贸n, luego el ven铆a y me ped铆a perd贸n... dur谩bamos 1 mes contentos y luego volv铆a a pasar... un c铆rculo vicioso.

To all this we add the philosophy that i was taught at home that girls cannot have many boyfriends because if i do, i麓m a whore. What does it lead to? To search in that relationship for what was not there, to want to keep trying, to endure, to give thousands of unnecessary opportunities, to forgive when he did not deserve it, because of course... since i had already fallen in love with this guy i had to do everything possible to keep going because otherwise i would probably be left by 篓jamona篓 (a woman who reaches an old age without a husband is called a jamona in my country).
And the moment came when everything lined up, i was left in a position where i didn't count on my friends, my family, my boyfriend, or the school because everything you did was gossiped about, all this inside the mind of a developing teenager, was on the mouth of the whole class because of what i was going through, with a million insecurities, with lack of attention, with no purpose in life and with the helplessness of feeling that i couldn't do anything about it... they made me go into depression and i even tried to take my own life on several occasions.
BUT i survived and here i am alive and kicking... and the truth is that thanks to this i learned a lot, i know what i want and don't want in a relationship, i understand that just because someone is your family doesn't mean that they are not human and can be wrong, i know that we can choose with the people we interact with and that friends are the family that one chooses, i know that to life has to smile for it to smile at you. If i stay 篓jamona篓 i don麓t give a fuck. If someone let me down, i'll send them to the hel*. If you want to speak ill of me, i will send you an email with the address so that you can go to .... well you know where they go hahaha. Many people tell me that i know a lot about life when i'm so young, but i say that I had to learn early on how to survive in life.
A todo esto le agregamos la filosof铆a que me ense帽aron en mi casa de que uno no puede tener muchos novios porque si lo hace es una cuero... 驴A qu茅 me lleva? A buscar en esa relaci贸n lo que no hab铆a, a querer seguir intent谩ndolo, a aguantar, a dar miles de oportunidades innecesarias, a perdonar cuando no lo merec铆a, porque claro... como ya me hab铆a enamorado de este chico ten铆a que hacer todo lo posible por seguir adelante porque de lo contrario posiblemente me quedaba 篓jamona篓 (se le dice jamona a la mujer que llega a una vieja edad sin esposo).
Y lleg贸 el momento en que todo se aline贸, qued茅 en una posici贸n en la que no contaba ni con mis amigos, ni con mi familia, ni en mi novio, ni con la escuela porque todo lo que uno hac铆a lo chismoseaban... todo esto dentro de la mente de una adolescente en pleno desarrollo, estaba en boca de todo el curso por lo que estaba pasando, con un mill贸n de inseguridades, con falta de atenci贸n, sin prop贸sito en la vida y con impotencia de sentir que no pod铆a hacer nada al respecto... me hicieron entrar en depresi贸n y hasta intent茅 quitarme la vida en varias ocasiones.
PERO sobreviv铆 y aqu铆 estoy vivita y coleando... y la verdad es que gracias a esto aprend铆 much铆simo, s茅 lo que quiero y no quiero en una relaci贸n, entiendo que porque alguien sea tu familia no significa que no sea humano y pueda equivocarse, s茅 que podemos elegir con la gente que interactuamos y que los amigos son la familia que uno escoge, s茅 que a la vida hay que sonre铆rle para que te sonr铆a. Si me quedo 篓jamona篓 me vale ver**. Si me defraudan los mando a la verga. Si quieren hablar mal de m铆 les mando un correo con la direcci贸n para que se vayan a la ....... bueno ya sabes a d贸nde se van hahaha. Muchos me dicen que s茅 mucho sobre la vida siendo tan joven, pero yo digo que me toc贸 temprano aprender a sobrevivir en ella.

These are some teachings that i learned along the way and i think they can be useful to anyone.
A friend who speaks ill of another friend in front of you, you can be sure that he speaks the same of you in front of others.
Don't believe all the Disney and love movies, they are NOT REAL.
Love is not demanded, it is expected, and if it doesn't come, look elsewhere.
Don't forbid something to a teenager because he or she will do it anyway.
Never end a relationship in the middle of an argument... end it when you know there is no going back.
If you've already broken up with someone, DON'T STUMBLE ON THE SAME STONE.
There are more people in the world, you don't have to marry the first one you meet.
Don't worry about what the bad tongues say, they will always have an opinion.
Love yourself, before you try to love someone else.
Well this is all for now, thanks a lot for joining me in this little corner with tripod, I apologize for so much bad vibe in the same post, but I promise it won't happen too often, I hope to see you soon... and remember, *good vibes always.
Estas son algunas ense帽anzas que aprend铆 en el camino y creo que le pueden servir a cualquiera:
Un amigo que hable mal de otro amigo alante de t铆, puedes estar seguro de que as铆 mismo habla de t铆 alante de los dem谩s.
No creas en todas las pel铆culas de amor y de Disney, NO SON REALES.
El amor no se exige, se espera y si no llega b煤scalo en otra parte.
No le proh铆bas algo a un adolescente porque lo va a hacer de todas formas.
Nunca termines una relaci贸n en medio de una discusi贸n... termina cuando ya sepa que no hay vuelta atr谩s.
Si ya terminaste con alguien, NO VUELVAS A TROPEZARTE CON LA MISMA PIEDRA.
Hay m谩s gente en el mundo, no hay que casarse con el primero que uno encuentre.
No te preocupes por lo que dicen las malas lenguas, ellos siempre van a tener algo que opinar.
Qui茅rete a ti misma, antes de intentar querer a otro.
Bueno esto es todo por ahora, gracias mil por acompa帽arme en este rinconcito con tripode, disculpame por tanta mala vibra en un mismo post, pero prometo que no pasar谩 muy seguido, espero verte pronto... y recuerda, buenas vibras siempre.
