What's up! So I haven't been able to share much lately because I've been a little busy. . Little by little we are learning and growing, trying to give our best with every case. While we're at it we manage to do our terms as Fun as possible. The people I've met are wonderful and so full of awesome energy that it motivates me even more to get to work every day. . It's awesome when the environment is so welcoming and cheerful, makes our day run smoothly. And even on those gloomy days we have to try our best to radiate good energy and enjoy every moment. Because good or bad we are still growing https://www.instagram.com/p/BpDuADihsU8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=o0soju6idkex

Meaning of life?

To me, life is about changes and how we adapt to them or process them. Finding only one answer to this question is meaningless it self. Some would say love, others would say to find happiness, and others would say food. For me, ALL of this answers are correct and I would also add a few more. Like, to make memories, to feel, to connect, to make an impact on someone else's life. My point is, we all have our own answer to this mysterious question, even when we don't find a specific way to phrase it, you will feel it, you will understand it your own way.

Let's live our lives without regrets and enjoy our journey to finding the answers to this and other questions. When you find your calling, go for it, and do not let anyone stop you, as long as it's what makes you happy, and it doesn't harm others, it might be your meaning to this life. Be good, Be grateful, and Enjoy the little things.

"At that moment on that "panic attack" I told them. I'm gay. Everything went silent for a moment. All I could hear was the flicking sound of a lighter that my mother was using trying to light a cigarette. After a few minutes I was alone with my dog..." Couldn't sleep last night so I started doodling. Hope you like it. #doodling #pencilart #comingoutstory #petsarefamily #loveislove

There will be days when you feel everything. Those days come to remind us that we are still human, we get hurt, we feel. Those days will come, but it's up to us if we let them control us or if we make the best out of them. Because it’s those days that we most enjoy the beauty of life. Go on a hike, experience nature, connect with yourself. remember, It's OK not to be OK. But always try your best to be in control.

Coming Out Story

My family was very ordinary. Mother, father, brother and me. We were raised in christian religion, even though we didn't go to church very often. But our family values where very religious. The first person who I told my little secret, was my brother Nake. This was because at that time I was going out with a guy that apparently was friends with a friend of my brother. After I got back from school one day, my brother told me "hey, got something to tell me?" And I, nervous because I knew what he knew, said "nope, you already know what you need to know." He just smiled at me and kept doing what he was doing. That was when I was in either my first year of college or last year of high school (2009- 2010). Don't remember well that moment. But after that, I openly talked to him about having a boyfriend and stuff like that. Also, somehow my older brother and older sister also got the info. We never talked about it, but I knew they knew and sometimes they spoke positive comments about the gay community in front of me and then awkwardly stare at me, then change the topic. That was the easy part...

One day on spring 2014, my parents where having a discussion. I don't really remember what it was about, but for a moment they said something about me not being good to them... And I snapped... I entered a panic attack, I started to cry saying "you won't understand, you won't love me anymore" all this because I had a really good relationship with them, and after all this years I really wanted to tell them, but they were always throwing bad and disrespectful comments about the LGBT community, and that made me scared. At that moment on that "panic attack" I told them. I'm gay. Everything went silent for a moment. All I could hear was the flicking sound of a lighter that my mother was using trying to light a cigarette. After a few minutes I was alone with my dog and my father came back and said that I might be confused, that we could go to a therapist. I said NO. I told them how I felt, I told them that after so many years trying to have relationships with girls, that was not what I liked. I told them I have tried, that I've had sex with a girl. For the next few days my mother didn't say a word to me. It drove my parents to a bad depressive state but my mother was affected the worst. As said before, my family was very conservative and christian even though we didn't go to church very often. When my mother started to speak to me was always angry and crying, telling me mean things about going to hell and similar things. One day she started to yell at me for everything I did and blaming me because I let our home be "invaded by demons" and that was the "reason" our family was arguing so much. Between those days my father also said some mean things, but this time, my brother Nake was there, and he stood up for me, even received a slap/punch because of me. For that, I am really sorry, I never wanted anyone to get hurt because of me. But I'm also really grateful that I had him. I thought I was alone. I was not. Later, I was in finals at College. I was depressed and IT happened. When I got home one day, my father talked to me and said "please go, your mother is getting worst with you being here, do it for her health" so I packed and called my older brother who lived nearby, told him everything and he welcomed me with open arms. I stayed there for a few days with no word from my parents. But all my family already knew everything that had happened, and most of them sided with me. Even the ones my parents went to thinking they would side with them, they were told many times by many people that what they did to their son was wrong. After the third day, I got a call... It was my father. That call I will remember for a while. My father was crying over the phone and said "Angel, I love you. Please come back home. I'm going to try to deal with this and work it out. Please understand that this is not easy for us" and I said "I always knew that that wasn't going to be easy, i love you. See you at home". They really tried. To this day my mother and I are as close as before, if not closer.

This experience hurt, and it still hurts to think about those days, but it helped me grow, it helped me be the best me there is. Not always things happen as you plan but it's up to us to give everything we can to make it better. Resilience. This word is what i was working on. It was discovered, experienced and tamed during this events.

Side story: I feel guilty.

After two months, on July, my family went on vacations. I was working two jobs at that time so I only had like a day or two with them and then came back home without them. As i was told and the pictures show, they were Enjoying the vacations to the max. When the vacations where over and they were all back home, my father passed away. My father was depressed. My father had heart issues. I felt like the events of two months ago caught up with him. He was strong. At least he acted like it. I know it wasn't me. But deep down, I'm blaming myself. It's something I'm working with myself.
