It never gets easier. If people knew how complex things would get once they’re deeper into something, they’d probably not start. Things like relationships, families, careers, and businesses just get more difficult the further we are into the process, never easier. When you own a business, you have to deal with complex taxing systems, sometimes … Continue reading The complexity of things

Separation is for reflection
Separation shouldn’t be seen as a bad thing. It’s sad and hard for sure when you’ve spent countless hours, days, weeks, and months giving it everything you had to that person or job you loved so much. But separation is probably one the best things that could happen to you – perhaps it doesn’t make … Continue reading Separation is for reflection
Best friends
The term best friends or anything similar is too fragile. People come and go. Some stay longer, some are there when you’re doing well and leave when you’re struggling. Of course these aren’t real best friends or friends at all. Some friends hang with you because they feel good around you, while others need something from … Continue reading Best friends
Say what you mean
I remember back in the days when I’d hold back on thoughts and feelings because I didn’t want to hurt people, especially loved ones. I’d try not to argue, fight back, or express how I truly feel. The more I did this, the worse I felt in relationships — I’d feel I left something hanging, I’d feel … Continue reading Say what you mean
Nadie lo hará
Nadie te querrá como él. Mentira. El que te quiere te querrá así o mejor. A lo mejor no te llenará de sonrisas tan seguidamente, pero te hará sonreir. A lo mejor no te besara tan apasionadamente, pero te besara. A lo mejor no te querrá tan intensamente, pero te querrá. Al final, tú tienes la última … Continue reading Nadie lo hará
My side of the story
So why did that happen? You ask your friend or family about a past event or issue. By which he or she responds, “let me tell you why”… little did you realize that this is only one side of the story and should be, “let me tell you my side of the story” instead. There … Continue reading My side of the story
I do, you do…
If I do something for you, would you do something for me? Isn’t that how relationships work? Hasn’t it always been like this — selfishly with an obscure and hidden intention behind every action, word, or favor? That’s how it looks and feels like sometimes. People expect something in exchange. They might even remind you of a … Continue reading I do, you do…
Down the line
Most beginnings are interesting, exciting, and motivational. Yet we know they all come to an end eventually. What are beginnings anyways? They’re simply a new opportunity life provides to do things the right way — if you screwed up the last time. Beginnings are ways to experiment new ideas and paths, they allow us to use previous … Continue reading Down the line
Missing is healthy
How many times have you missed someone? How often does it happen? Who hasn’t missed a loved one? Bet 99% of people on Earth had this feeling at least one in their lifetime. Probably a fact. Missing someone makes you understand your true feelings for this person and the relationship; makes you grow and not … Continue reading Missing is healthy
Embrace your past
That’s who you’re not anymore, but that’s what made you who you’re today. Lessons learned, shitty experiences that made you grow up faster, memories that will never come back, people who showed up and taught you invaluable aspects of life and relationships. These all add up to the person you are now. Embrace your past. … Continue reading Embrace your past
