Yesterday Galenkp posted the weekend topics a little late, so I didn't read them before leaving for work, and then I got busy in other matters, but this gave me a chance to reflect on my role of being a victim or not, and when I talk about reflection I mean it. Last night I did something that I swear I've done a couple of times since I've been with my wife, and that's go out with my friends to drink at night, in fact to not look bad with them I dared to drink beer, and I almost never drink beer because I don't like it, but wow this time was different, it wasn't like those teenage night outings where I arrived home bad, actually now that we are all thirties the thing is different 😅
Leonardo and I had a situation in common, and that is that his wife was at home with her friends, happily talking about their roles as victims. A family situation was going on in my apartment, as my wife has not been well these days, and out of nowhere the other girls arrive with the intention of drowning their sorrows in alcohol. Don't get me wrong, they don't live doing that, but this Friday maybe it was necessary for everyone, but I confess I couldn't be in an environment like that, even if it's my wife and my friends, I can't play the victim, I need to solve the conflicts and get out of it as soon as possible, and to my surprise my friends sent me a message to see me and hui to a quieter place 🤣
Douglas was coming from the gym, and several stressful weeks for him. He is very close to competing in a bodybuilding contest, and his diet is EXTREME, but we can't let him go crazy in front of our eyes. If it were up to him that night we would have climbed the hill just to see the full moon, but no, evil won, and it was us that got him to drink a couple of beers and eat real food, at least for one night, still that fat he burned today in the morning 😆 If there is someone who has all the conditions to be a victim it's him, he's been through a lot this year, as it happened to me a couple of years ago, and to Leonardo four years ago when he had his first daughter in quarantine, but no, I'm glad to know that the three of us assume the challenges with a lot of responsibility, even if all the people around us play the victims, and there is a wave of bad vibes in our work, the coral...
Two weeks ago while hiking, our normal meetings were
Venezuela's economy is kicking us in the ass very hard, in fact March was all anarchy. Before our currency was devalued and practically now the dollar is devalued; I understand that it is a stressful situation, and our women succumb to it, especially because of the connection with the rest of our friends, who sing by our side every day, but playing the victim does not solve anything. The three of us are a good example, while others get together to complain about life, we make projects to solve the economic part and to plan a future for our families, and the best thing is that we practice peace of mind through physical activity, even if I am still fat, it doesn't matter, exercise, Hive, and the connection with nature help me a lot, and this leads me to the following:
Our weekend outfit
"Choosing the right people in our environment". Don't get me wrong, I love the rest of my friends and I understand and respect what they feel, and of course I try to help where I can, but I am in a good moment in life, I am reconciled with myself and I notice the results every day, even with my true friends I feel good, and they motivate me, because they have the same approach and projection to solve any conflict, and wow, problems are the order of the day, but victims? Never...
Our girls were drowning their sorrows in alcohol at home, it's ok, I'm sure they needed it, I toasted too, but to friendship and building moments and links that later on will bring us prosperity, I don't know when, I don't know how, but I do know that everything will be ok 🙏
