~How do I put this.
When it comes to curriculum vitae or discussing my purpose in life, I'm definitively not the best expressing myself. I haven't been the kind of super confident and "I know what I want" kind of girl. I've been all this time trying to discover who I am and what I want... so how could I possibly tell you that?
Yes, my name is Andreina and I am from Venezuela. However, who I am is (and should be) beyond a name or a country.
Let me begin by telling you I've tried all different sort of things, from Trying to be the smart girl.
All the way to... Cooking
knitting
and even...
climbing...
All of this has led me to a simple conclusion:
I needed to be alone and without any distraction to finally understand myself. It was not until I found out that I had a health issue called congenital hip dysplasia and also got really depressed that I didn't stop. The doctors told me I couldn't climb, hike, run or do yoga anymore!
I had to face myself,
I had to find peace,
I had to be alone. Scary right?
So after some time going to therapy, crying and learning how to enjoy reading and being alone
I realized something.
I am not defined by all those things.
I am not a climber, or a yogi or a brain. I'm not a body or a hip.
There is something else.
There is something that will always be there still.
Me.
I'm not scared anymore. But even so, if some days I am,
and It's ok...
I can accept that.
I'm not perfect
and there are things I cannot do
and It's ok...
I can accept that.
...and beyond all the sadness or the joy of this moment, I will always be me. I'm ready to love, myself and others. And most of all, I am ready to share all of that "me" that I have recently discovered (and still have to discover).
