Thanksgiving...

   It is not a day to be celebrated neither accepted in any way in my country, but I find it a good reason to make an objective retrospection of life and be thankful for what I have.

    I'm thankful that even that I wasn't raised in a perfect family environment, I was raised with love. I grew up in poverty. Didn't have a "magic carpet" or a "flying pony" but I was taught to always look up, to  respect and desire those things in life that once reached you never lose. I'm  thankful for that. 

  I didn't experience the joys of childhood. My life as an adult started when I was quite young but  I was given the strength to face it as what it was. "One day the sun will rise on our street as well" my mom used to say. I have always had her unconditional love and her faith in me. She made me believe that I'm a gift to myself and taught me to love myself for the person that I am... That is something I will never lose. And I'm thankful for that!!!

   When I look at everything I've been through there is nothing I would change, and a single choice I don't regret. . .I'm glad that there are times  when we take a look back upon our lives and we can reevaluate things that once we left unappreciated. That now serves to show me that I might have been lonely but I have never been alone and there's so much love and  support behind each step I've taken. Incredible people have marked my life and helped me grow by sharing their wisdom. I'm thankful for that.

Happy Thanksgiving.
