Bueno, hoy es lunes. La "semana siguiente" ya es parte del pasado y el silencio telefónico persiste, pesado y denso. Esa incertidumbre es una ladrona de energía silenciosa; no te asalta de golpe, sino que te va robando el enfoque minuto a minuto.

Te drena la creatividad porque una parte de ti ya se mudó a esa oficina nueva, ya está organizando la agenda y visualizando la rutina, mientras que el resto de tu cuerpo sigue aquí, atrapado en el limbo de la espera. Es agotador intentar mantener la compostura y la paz mental que tanto valoro, mientras por dentro siento que me estoy "trepando por las paredes". Cada vez que el teléfono ilumina su pantalla, mi corazón da un salto, solo para descubrir que es una llamada de cualquier persona, menos de él, una notificación irrelevante o un mensaje de grupo.

Sin embargo, en medio de este caos mental y la ansiedad que me hace revisar la señal del celular compulsivamente, la vida me regaló un paréntesis necesario. Es como si el destino supiera que necesitaba un interruptor para apagar el ruido de la expectativa. El sábado pasado nos reunimos en casa para una celebración doble: el cumpleaños de mi cuñada y el mío. Aunque no cumplimos exactamente el mismo día, en mi familia tenemos la costumbre de unificar alegrías y celebrar juntos, reforzando esos lazos que nos mantienen unidos.

Fue un momento precioso que me recordó que, aunque el "gran cambio" esté en pausa, el presente sigue vibrando con una intensidad maravillosa. Entre risas, anécdotas compartidas y el calor de los nuestros, logré lo que creía imposible: desconectarme de la bendita llamada. Tuvimos momentos muy lindos, de esos donde el tiempo parece detenerse y lo único que importa es el sabor de la comida compartida y la sinceridad de un abrazo.

Es curioso cómo el afecto funciona como un bálsamo medicinal; por unas horas, no hubo empleos pendientes, ni socios en Los Teques, ni vacantes por llenar. Solo estuvimos nosotros, celebrando la vida por partida doble, recordándome que soy mucho más que una respuesta laboral.

Hoy me permito ser vulnerable y decir que no tengo grandes filosofías que compartir. A veces la espiritualidad y el bienestar también consisten en aceptar que somos humanos y que la impaciencia nos puede ganar la partida por un rato. Está bien admitir que el Wi-Fi interno falló porque estamos ocupados procesando la incertidumbre del mañana. A veces, la mayor reflexión es simplemente reconocer que, mientras esperamos que una puerta se abra, no debemos olvidar disfrutar de la luz que ya entra por nuestras ventanas.

Sometimes, life decides to put us on "hold," and honestly, my brain has decided to join the process by turning off the router. I've spent days trying to sit in front of the screen to share something deep or a reflection that leaves you thinking, but my mind is a blank. It’s like a page that won’t finish loading or a circle spinning without getting anywhere. My creative "Wi-Fi" simply went offline, leaving only a hum of static where there used to be ideas.

The reason for this blackout? A call that hasn't come and a phone that seems to have forgotten how to ring.

Two weeks ago, I received a proposal that seemed heaven-sent, the kind that makes you believe the universe finally read your wish list. An important businessman in my country, a friend of a friend, called to offer me a job that I can only describe as fabulous: it’s very close to my home, and the salary is the kind that restores your peace of mind. He explained that his partner is formally in charge of hiring, but he works at the plant located in Los Teques and only comes down to Caracas once or twice a week. "He’ll come down this week or the next to finalize things," he told me with a confidence that I bought into immediately.

Well, today is Monday. "Next week" is already part of the past, and the phone silence persists, heavy and dense. That uncertainty is a silent energy thief; it doesn't assault you all at once, but rather steals your focus minute by minute.

It drains your creativity because part of you has already moved into that new office, organizing the schedule and visualizing the routine, while the rest of your body remains here, trapped in the limbo of waiting. It’s exhausting to try to maintain the composure and peace of mind that I value so much, while inside I feel like I'm "climbing the walls." Every time the phone screen lights up, my heart skips a beat, only to find it's a call from anyone but him, an irrelevant notification, or a group message.

However, in the midst of this mental chaos and the anxiety that makes me compulsively check my cell signal, life gave me a necessary parenthesis. It’s as if destiny knew I needed a switch to turn off the noise of expectation. Last Saturday, we gathered at home for a double celebration: my sister-in-law's birthday and mine. Although our birthdays aren't on the exact same day, in my family, we have the custom of unifying joys and celebrating together, reinforcing those bonds that keep us united.

It was a precious moment that reminded me that even if the "big change" is on pause, the present is still vibrating with wonderful intensity. Between laughter, shared anecdotes, and the warmth of our loved ones, I achieved what I thought was impossible: disconnecting from that blessed call. We had very lovely moments, the kind where time seems to stop and all that matters is the taste of shared food and the sincerity of a hug. It’s curious how affection works like a medicinal balm; for a few hours, there were no pending jobs, no partners in Los Teques, no vacancies to fill. There was just us, celebrating life twice over, reminding me that I am much more than a job response.

Today I allow myself to be vulnerable and say that I don't have great philosophies to share. Sometimes spirituality and well-being also consist of accepting that we are human and that impatience can win the game for a while. It’s okay to admit that the internal Wi-Fi failed because we are busy processing the uncertainty of tomorrow. Sometimes, the greatest reflection is simply recognizing that, while we wait for a door to open, we must not forget to enjoy the light that is already coming through our windows.
