llamada "Enseñame a hacer amigos". Debo decir que en la vida conocemos personas únicas, excepcionales y especiales a los que llamamos amigos. Estos se vuelven una parte importante de nuestras vidas y tienden a convertirse en la familia que uno elige por decisión propia. Es bonito coincidir con gente que comparta tus mismos gustos, te tienda la mano y te apoye cuando más lo necesites. Yo valoro la lealtad, la sinceridad y el respeto ante todo porque la confianza muchas veces apesta y da asco. Hay amigos para beber, hay amigos a los que les cuentas todos tus pesares y hay amigos con los que cuentas a pesar de no tener la razón para luego ponerte en tu lugar, vaya sorpresa si todas estas características convergen en una sola persona.It is a pleasure for me to make an appearance in this community and bring you my participation in this initiative proposed by
As human beings we are made to establish important relationships and connections. When I was a girl I was very friendly, but as I got older I realized that I prefer quality over quantity. Sometimes you put your trust in people who in the end betray you, that's why for me loyalty and respect are more important. The friends I have today are few and far between and I know I can turn to them regardless of how often we talk to each other. Many of my friends are at the same point as me, they are married and raising their first child. Others are simply living and enjoying their lives one day at a time, they don't have children and we are still in sync because of the strong bond we have created. Many of them are scattered around the world and it is unbelievable that we can no longer meet in the same way, but I am very happy when they tell me that they are doing well in life. I rejoice and share their joy for all that many of them had to struggle to achieve and go through difficult situations in their lives.
A continuación, respondo las preguntas indicadas para esta iniciativa:
Below, I answer the questions indicated for this initiative:
❤️ 1. Has logrado hacer amigos fácilmente, cómo lo lograste?
❤️ 1. You have managed to make friends easily, how did you do it?
The truth is yes. Because of my personality. Although I am a person of strong character I consider myself very open to engage in a conversation with anyone and help them depending on the situation. I learned not to judge anyone by first impressions. Before I used to do that and I would throw away the opportunity to meet wonderful people. Although now I am more selective and I like my small circle of friends, I like to meet new people with whom I can share similar tastes to cultivate a nice friendship.
I can't stand lies and hypocrisy, nor tolerate betrayal. I am very transparent with my friends but I have also learned to keep quiet when I have to say something that could hurt people's feelings. Of course, you should always speak the truth but we are human beings who feel and the fact that there is trust between friends, one should be more kind and empathetic. I appreciate that my circle of friends has been like that and that is why today we keep our friendship intact.
In Tenerife 🇮🇨 I met 3 wonderful people: Cintia and Rebeca are from the Canary Islands and Silvia is Cuban-Spanish. I met them while I was doing a course from September to December 2021 in Santa Cruz de Tenerife. I shared many beautiful moments with them and although they live almost one hour away, I am always in contact with them to know how they are and what has happened again in their lives.
❤️ 2. ¿Has vivido alguna experiencia incómoda donde al principio el terreno no estaba dado para hacer amigos y luego hayas podido transformar y crear una amistad?
❤️ 2. Have you had any uncomfortable experiences where at first the ground was not conducive to making friends and then you were able to transform and create a friendship?
Yes, and sometimes without realizing it. I have several friends who have told me that they dislike me, as in the case of my friend Daniela Ortega who currently lives in Peru. We study at the same university, but we have different careers. We met while applying to the student center of our university. Still we created quite a nice bond and today our friendship is still as strong and intact as ever. I think we shouldn't judge a book by its cover and completely forget first impressions. We have to be open to second chances because we don't know if we are passing up a beautiful friendship and closing ourselves off from meeting an amazing person.
❤️ 3. ¿Tienes amigos de toda la vida? ¿Como has hecho para mantenerla en el tiempo?
❤️ 3. Do you have lifelong friends? How have you managed to keep it over time?
Yes, and I love and respect them very much. I don't talk to all of them as often as I would like, but I do keep an eye on them. From time to time I write to the ones I talk to the least so as not to lose the spark. I think it is important to ask how they are doing because sometimes we don't know what situations or problems others are going through and a friendly voice is always comforting. I have always said and I maintain that we must be kind because we do not know how the other person feels and we must always speak with respect and empathy. Try not to issue passive-aggressive criticism because everyone is dealing with their own in a different way.
I have friendships since I was in preschool, that is more than 31 years until I emigrated here to Tenerife. It is nice and comforting to meet and connect with people along the way that make your life more enjoyable and bearable. I miss my friends from Venezuela very much. Friends who slept, ate and had good times in my house. I have formed my family with my husband and my baby, but it is not easy to have left almost 28 years of experiences behind. Sometimes I remember with nostalgia everything I have lived with each of my friends on every #tbt Thursday by posting a photo on my WhatsApp status. I usually laugh, add funny captions to the pictures and remember with affection every time I see an old photo where unforgettable moments with my friends are captured.

.Having friends is a blessing. It is remembering everything you once lived with incredible people, good or bad, it restarts your life. I end my participation with a small paragraph from one of Pablo Neruda's writings called -Some friendships are eternal-: "When you are sad and the world seems dark and empty, that eternal friendship lifts your spirits and makes that dark and empty world suddenly seem bright and full".
