Courageuse

Recently, while attending to a concert in Paris I met a nice girl who happened to be there alone -so I was! /hey people do not judge me, it's not easy to have friends in my circle who like k-pop or a k-pop fan friend who doesn't dress like if she was cosplaying a Korean idol group/- so we both started to talk exchanging funny remarks about how we were such normal fans compared to most of the people in there, naturally then we began to make the canon-type of questions one usually ask when meeting someone for the first time, like 'How old are you' 'Where are you from' and alike. So once I told my new 'friend' that I was 21 and moved to France few years ago without speaking French and all by myself, she looked at me with her dark eyes wide open, the mouth slightly open and  then snapped at me "Tu es très courageuse, non?!". I've heard that phrase at least a hundred times by now but in the past I never really thought that moving somewhere by myself would show how brave I am, in fact for me that's been just the start /I've dealt with much more than that/ but, blame it to the excitement of seeing my favorite group once again, the sentimentalism of my recent nature or even the pain I was feeling from seeing so many people gathered there /dressed in such a lame way/ but I felt so proud of me and my -achievements?- that during the next two hours of concert I couldn't help but thinking about how far decisions and effort can take us. To be honest I haven't really achieved anything exceptional but I've had so many obstacles in my way that coming to this point -where I'm about to graduate from a fashion school in Paris- feels like if I had done much more than what I really did.

Everyone has a different way of living and consequently different problems to face, sometimes I'm just so absorbed in my problems and I can't help but feeling jealous of people who achieve a lot without much effort involved /I live surrounded by such cases/ but then, seeing such empty existences I'm happy I have something to look forward to /the typical, a better tomorrow/ and happy I've managed to overcome all my limitations and experience such hardships.  I like to remind myself how lucky I am just to be alive and have a place to live because sometimes my problems seem sooo big when I compared them to my son-of-a-senator- friend's or my heiress-of-a-law-firm classmate's but when I see them from another perspective at least I'm doing what I like and my family is averagely healthy -have you seen people struggling because their parents/siblings/children are battling against cancer or alike?- and that is enough for me. Of course I can achieve much more /I want to achieve much more/ because I've always been ambitious and I'm determined to realize my dreams but also I want to live everyday, thankful for the things I have. A family, a house, tree meals per day /if not even more/ clothes, a car, a computer, we all take those things for granted because they're all just 'there' but have you ever stop to think about those who have to struggle without them? We all could live happier lives if we stopped everyday for at least a second to appreciate what we have instead on focusing non stop on what we're lacking.
Sorry my entry is kinda out of topic but I just wanted to share with you an awesome song I like these days and somehow I ended up -like I always do- talking about something else!
Ladies and gentlemen, this is my current jam:
Enrique Iglesias - Bailando ft. Descemer Bueno, Gente De Zona

Hope you all are happy today!

Ps: Should I teach some Spanish lines next time?
