11) The Cliterati Chronicle - English
English version of our Issue 11
Have you ever thought about who you would be today, or what things you would no longer do, if today you felt enough and without the need to fit in?
Take a pause, a few seconds to reflect and question yourself...ready? In an episode of the podcast Se Regalan Dudas, which by the way is great if you haven't checked it, they posed a similar question that made me think of all the things I still do every day to fit in with society. The podcast revived a stage of the pandemic when I took inventory and questioned everything I did in my life, goals I longed for, and aspirations, and I questioned myself:Â
Is this really what I want to be? have? feel?Â
Or is it what society has told me I should aspire to?Â
How many hours of my day do I spend on pleasing others, instead of enjoying what I really like? .
These are some of the ideals that came out of that pandemic afternoon, and since then I have not looked back;
I stopped training in the gym to look good. I love how my body looks, even with the persistent tummy of ice cream, but I love even more feeling like a superwoman. Sticking to my schedule, keeping promises to myself by following my schedule, and feeling the adrenaline and endorphins that keep me energized during the day.
Having children is not my highest goal in life, in fact, I don’t know if it is a goal anymore. Ever since I let life flow, I do not feel pressured by a biological clock, I enjoy going out more. I date without the pressure of finding a partner and I enjoy meeting different men.
You don't need a date to go out to dinner on a Friday night. So, I enjoy not sharing my appetizer and dessert. I learned that I have a great time alone and that sometimes it is the best opportunity to meet your neighbors and the people around you.
Not all loves are eternal and we do not have to be tied to that person if that person does not evolve with us. Sometimes we grow at a different pace and it is not fair to hold anyone back or hold ourselves back.
I no longer believe that in this life there is only one love. The world is full of millions of people, do you really think that only one person in your life will love you? I think it is true that you will never love two people the same. Each person is different and you love in many ways and each love awakens new emotions.
I cut off all relationships that didn't fill my glass, and stopped spending time where I am not appreciated.
Today I invite you to make a long list of everything in your life and prioritize the things that make you feel good and that you love. I invite you to embrace your natural curves, because you don’t want to be 30, 40, 50 … and realize how beautiful and perfect you were when you were younger. Embrace those aspects that make you unique, that accent that tells a story about you, you have traveled, you have had a whole life in another land, and not too many can say that.
