Hi guys. I wanted to share something that happened to me this weekend. Forgive me for my bad english by the way, my main language is spanish.
I had a weird week. Spent it on the beach with my aunts and cousins and when we arrived my aunts started talking about life and the world, they asked me about what did I think about life and I answered: "I don't know. Being so young(I'm 20) I don't think I have the right or the experience to answer that question" and they replied: "Why do you say that? You have been through so much in your life so you should have an oppinion about life and the world", all that could say was "I don't really know. Often I think I don't deserve many things" and then they started to tell me how wrong I was about that, that I'm so pure and noble, like a diamond and so many nice things I don't think I am, I felt so overwhelmed then I just wanted to cry so I walked away and went to the water so they couldn't see my tears.
I'm a very quiet and shy person so I don't know how they could they hold such oppinions about me or maybe I'm more open than I think I am. I guess I should consider myself lucky for having a family that appreciates who I am.
I really wish I could have talked to them a bit longer. I don't really have many negative oppinions about life and the world. All I want to be is Brave so I can help people and tell them what I think.
Does anyone else feel like that when another person says nice things to you?
Maybe because I've been told how "weak" and and other mean things I was before that I started believing what they said about me so I can't really take any compliments as they being true.
