Tal día como hoy, hace 530 años, en 1492, tras una larga travesía Cristóbal Colón y un puñado de españoles llegaban a la isla de Guanahani, en las actuales Bahamas. Aunque su objetivo era llegar a Asia, sin ser conscientes habían descubierto un nuevo continente: América.
La llegada y descubrimiento del Nuevo Mundo supuso un impacto brutal para la monarquía hispánica, que en pocos años impulsó multitud de expediciones colonizadoras por todo el continente y que convirtió a España en la primera potencia mundial durante siglos.
Esa efeméride se convirtió con el tiempo en nuestra fiesta nacional y se denominó día de la Hispanidad. En nuestro país además coincide con el Día de la Virgen del Pilar y la celebración ha acabado por extenderse a muchos países hispanoamericanos.
Aunque hoy en día parece que vivimos una segunda época de "hispanofobia", muchas veces incluso promovida por algunos sectores de la sociedad española, es importante no olvidar el origen de este día y sentirnos orgullosos de nuestra historia y su legado. Siempre es motivo de orgullo sentirse españoles y hoy es un día para celebrar todo lo que nos une.
¡¡Feliz día de la Hispanidad!! 🇪🇸🇪🇸

like the previous post..been awhile since i’ve wrote on here. i made this account when I was a teenager and now im in my late twenties. I don’t write on here often but every now and then again I like to come back to where my head space was during past times. I should probably start journaling and I’ve wanted to do that for awhile now.
anyway, continuring from the end of the previous post..i’m not longer in survival mode. i’ve crashed. i’m married now and I moved to the UK to be w my husband and SURPRISE moving across the world doesn’t magically fix mental health. i’m still sad, still going through it and still hoiping for better day. of course i’m so happy to be with my long term previous long distance partner now but i’m in a new country with zero friends, no job, and feeling utterly depressed. i’ve reached out thru a service on the NHS for therapy so i’m just waiting for that. in the mean time i’m trying to make myself feel better by doing things i enjoy. however, unfortunately, i still hate myself. i still suffer with an eating disorder. i’m still depressed. i’m worried that i will be this way forever. i worry about my husband. i worry about our/my future. it’s hard. i wish to be someone who didn’t feel this way but it’s not that simply is it? to change oneself simply because you do not like who you are to the core is not easy or simple. i hope therapy helps.
i hope someday i come on here and boast about how happy i’ve been and how great life is. hopefully someday soon.
oh well
until next time

Remember… there is something about this place that inbuilt in its character is a very strong sense of identity. Sort of an invitation to claim it, own it, your home, like through a stick of rock, so when you leave that or lose that I think you can have a troubled time. — Sir Kenneth Branagh
