Uno and the Comfort Zone

I was thinking today the person who I was 7 months ago (Date that I moved to NYC from El Salvador) and who I am today. I realized about how much I've changee and how strong I've become in the past few months.
Is my first real winter. Why do I call it "real" ....well because for someone who has been living in a tropical country forever and change it to a 4 stations country is a huge change. So pretty much our winters are between "Hot", "Not so hot", and "A little bit cold" you never get to experience cold temperatures under 15 Celsius so, going through a real "winter" has been pretty much tough but rewarding.
I came in summer, then it was fall.....Oh how much I love fall. And then winter. I have realized that Winter makes us realize and teaches us that we are not "invencible" as we might think. And it makes us realize of how blessed we are and what we have in life. To be honest I have become so much stronger fromt he person I was. And every person who have moved from their home country to another country by their own understands what I am talking about.

It is every experience that you go through that makes it so different from everything before. You appreciate people, but at the same time you realize who is worth your time and those who aren't worth it anymore. It makes you appreciate what you have gone through before and it makes you smile when you see where you are in that moment. It makes you realize how stronger you are now and how things will not get easy in the future but that you will be able to make it through everytime.
It teaches you that missing the people who you really love is ok. That is ok to cry when you are alone because sometimes you don't have to show any weakness to the world.

Oh the world and life. Whenever you read or you hear "You start living once you get out of your comfort zone" ......SO TRUE! Only those who do it know what I am talking about. It is fucking scary! You are in a zone where you don't know anything! You are alone! You don't know anyone!
You barely know how to read the subway maps. You get lost but at the same time it is so great to breath freedom. Because you can open your arms wide open in the street and smile and breath and maybe a tear will come out of your eye.......but is ok! Because you are here, you are there, and now you are only yours and every experience that heppens now it's YOURS and only YOURS. Every thing you learn is your learning, your own experience nobody else, and nobody will be able to say that is their story because every story is different. And then you realize that you will never but NEVER be the same again. That you have changed forever and there is no going back.

Sorry for the mixed ideas in the post. I was having a very mixed day today haha.

Today I was thinking about how blessed I am. But also about how happy I am, to be truly mine.

With love,

Uno.
