METAMORPHOSIS
Suddenly something came to my mind so I had to write this post. I was thinking about how our perspective changes with time, with facts and with experiences.
Three and half years ago I arrived in planet Venezuela with low expectations, and with one thought : "I'll be here for just one year, that's it". That's was what I thought! But, why did I arrived here thinking like that? Why did I judge the place without knowledge and experiences? Why? Because we are human beings! We tend to not accept what we don't understand and criticize what we don't know! Anyways, time and experiences are factors to help us in our process of transformation,they help us realize how little we know, how closed we can be sometimes!
This month the planet Venezuela is facing a wake up call, facing thousands of brave people asking for peace, true, progress, etc...and here I am watching and thinking about what this country offered me in almost 4 years, a foreigner, what I have learned, do I still have the same original thought? No, of course not, my thoughts are different, now I think about how thankful I am for being here learning in the diversity, the priceless experiences we have here, the willing to find happiness and peace in the middle of the chaos. In this territory I found many great things, now I see with sweeter eyes, I feel things with more patience and respect, and the most precious thing is that I don't need a perfect environment to live a happy life,..... this is priceless!
Time and experiences showed me that we need to be open to listen, understand and feel the reasons of all things, we need try to find a light even if this light is too shy to shine, but it's still a light, with this light we can illuminate our thoughts, our ways, our smile and embrace everything what God has planned for us. Life is full, so let's fill our lives with positive attitudes, and an open mind.

Like thousands of brave Venezuelan citizens who are in the streets claiming for a better Country, let's copy them and don't giving up in our process of "metamorphosis"!
