It’s been a while
I guess I will start with introducing my self.
My name is Juanita, I was born in Bogota, Colombia, where I lived until I was 18 or 19 (I am in my 40’s, so it’s been a long time). I moved to the United States with my son, who at the time he was a baby.
I’ve had quite an eventful life, but I am not going to bore anyone with the details (besides, I’ve been working on a book for quite a while, but that is a different post).
There are so many things that have made me who I am today, many others that I had a very hard time processing and accepting. I mean if you ever had something difficult to live through, you’ll understand that being in denial just makes it so much easier to live.
If you know me, writing is something I’ve always done. It has always been a way to process my thoughts and experiences. This blog was actually created over 13 years ago. But then things happened, my life changed, my priorities shifted and I let it die, like literally. All my posts got lost between my iMac dying and the former service I used for hosting.
I believe writing helps clear your mind and see things from a more objective point of view, and as much as it hurt to lose all the work I had put on my original blog, I am thankful for the clean opportunity. To begin with, I am not the same person I was back there, my life was so different, the way I felt about myself is different, I am less afraid of some things and more afraid of others, my health did a 180 and my dreams had to adapt to my new reality.
In the last 10 years, so many have changed, I met my husband, and I understood the difference of being with the right person for me, as someone very dear to me once told me “there aren’t good or bad people, just people that are right or wrong for you”, and that is something I always keep close to my heart, we have grown together as persons and as a couple, my boy is no longer a kid (well, to me he will always be my kid), he is a man that makes me very proud every day.
We live in a different state, I went from having one dog to have two dogs and two cats.
So, as you can see, there is so much to say, to share, and hopefully be able to help people that are going through the same things I did and just share ideas and opinions.
The only thing left to say here is that I am back!
