Friends...

F.R.I.E.N.D.S.

What would be life without this word, or better saying what would a human being without them?!

We were born to create new friendships, meet new people, create new connections with all kind of people all over the world. I'm a blessed person because I can truly say I've the best friends in the world all over the world.

Although I'm not always nearby or even close, but a friendship is not only about how close we are but if we can be near through any means when a friend needs us. Thanks to one of the best mankind invention we can always be close even being far away: INTERNET. 

Friends will always be there when the entire world turns their back to you.

Friends will be there when you need a shoulder to cry.

Friends will make us laugh when we only want to cry.

Friends will hurt us with the truth because they want our best.

Friends will be there for you just to listen you without saying a word, because sometimes we don't need to listen a thing, just to vent.

Friends will always tell us the truth no matter what,

Friends will forgive us even when move away from them for silly reasons.

Grabbing on this last sentence, I want to apologize to all my friends that I move away from. Even though they know why and they did forgive me. I will never do that again, I will never put nothing in front of friendship.

Everything comes and goes for some reason, but a real friendship is forever no matter what.

I'm so thankful for all the friends I have and even being thousands of kilometers away they make sure I still make part of their lives, even when somehow I feel out it. 

Thank you all of you that somehow make smile every day. 

Love you all.

What is love?

So many times we hear: I'm in love, I love you, I adore you....

But did you ever stopped and asked yourself this simple question: What is love?

Before I leave this question and wait for some answers I'll answer myself what is love for me.

Love for me is much more than like someone because is pretty, is beautiful, is hot, has money, has a nice job and others nonsenses.

Love wasn't made to be painful, to make us cry most of the time, to make us argue all the time, to be distrust. Wasn't made to have just a few hours during the day because we already have other plans and we can't cancel them. Wasn't made to be lived only from one side and the other just stays because is good to have someone who loves us. Love is much more than just give, is about give and receive back; of course one side will always love more than the other, even our body is not completely symmetrical, how could be two persons completely different love in the same amount?

Love for me is starting liking the defects of each other, we must respect the other person the way it is, or otherwise we would never fell in love for that person. Is easy to love the qualities but is really hard to love the defects. Why should we wanna change someone to our image and require the other person to lose its essence, the same essence mixed with the qualities and defects make us fell in love for?

Love is wanting to be with someone, not spending only some hours in a week, sometimes is hard to find that time but when we really want, we can try to figure it out. When that time is really short and we can't do much more about it, should we spend that time arguing, fighting, saying nonsenses or should we enjoy every single millisecond we do have? If that time is short we really should enjoy it, but if the is long "what should we do?" The same thing we did when we had short time, enjoy as much as possible every single millisecond as well.

Like I use to say:"live now, life is luck and the time is short".

It seem likes I do live in a wonderful and beauty word and where everything is perfect, I don't and I know even in most perfect couples living the real love there will be misunderstandings, dislikes, fights and others stuffs. What should we do in those situations? I think the the answer is very easy, we have a great gift, the gift of talk and understanding. Yes, you read well, is just about talk, left one side express itself and the other does the same. I'm not saying we should accept everything the other wants, but we should always respect each other thoughts and opinion and try to find what will be reasonable for both. Is not about who will win or who loses, we have to know not only to be stubborn but to know when to retreat. (I really know what I'm talking about, I'm stubborn as hell)

A lot of people says a girlfriend and a boyfriend can't be really friends. I completely disagree with that, in my point of view they should try to be the best friends, not forgetting the best friend each other already has. How can someone say a relationship can't be built in friendship? Do you wanna have someone for the rest of your life which you can't talk all the time, make you laugh all the time, be able to just listen you, to tell a secret and so many others things. Thats what a friend does right? So wouldn't you like to have someone by your side which you could do all those things with?

Respect simple word, but so many times doesn't make part of our vocabulary. Can we really hope to have a long relationship without respect for each other? What is respect? Is not only respect each other when is in font of us, is respect each as well on the back. Respect is know the boundaries of each other, know the limits of those boundaries and respect the space of each other.

Trust, small word with only5 letters, but when is applied I bet with you so many relationships would be saved and so many problems would be avoided. Is not easy to have it, we should every single day try to earn a bit more of trust in a relationship. I'm not saying we should blind trust, thats why I said should be earn. Both in a relationship should do that hard work, but I can bet again with you in the end both will be winners.

In a few words thats what is love for me.

What is love for you?

If you read this please let me know what is love for you, you don't need to reply in English if you don't want to.

Thanks in advance.

Thanksgiving

Today I passed my first Thanksgiving.

I used to watch this celebration on american movies, but this year I celebrate it, I ate the turkey. Is the favorite american celebration, why? Because on this date they only eat, watch TV and Friday they have "Black Friday". On Black Friday lots of stores will be open at 5 am and close at 9 am. Yes you read well 5h in the morning. Is very common to find queues from 23h and 00h untill the doors open, people waiting for crazy prices in all kind of stores: books, clothes, electronics etc.

Some of you don't know why they celebrate the Thanksgiving, I didn't as well. I just learn this last days.

Thanksgiving or Thanksgiving Day, celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November, has been an annual tradition in the United States since 1863, when during the Civil War, President Abraham Lincolnproclaimed a national day of thanksgiving to be celebrated on Thursday, November 26.

The event that Americans commonly call the "First Thanksgiving" was celebrated to give thanks to God for helping the Pilgrims of Plymouth Colony survive their first brutal winter in New England. The first Thanksgiving feast lasted three days, providing enough food for 53 pilgrims and 90 Native Americans. The feast consisted of fish (cod, eels, and bass) and shellfish (clams, lobster, and mussels), wild fowl(ducks, geese, swans, and turkey), venison, berries and fruit, vegetables (peas, pumpkin, beetroot and possibly, wild or cultivated onion), harvest grains (barley and wheat), and the Three Sisters: beans, dried Indian maize or corn, and squash. The New England colonists were accustomed to regularly celebrating "Thanksgivings"—days of prayer thanking God for blessings such as military victory or the end of a drought.
