Have you had a good year?

I have to say that I don’t know if this current year has been a good or a bad year. This year has been both things, like all years, I have had great and bad moments. The good things of this year are that I have learned a lot of things that I like, I have strengthen my familiar and friends relationships, and I have known a lot of new and cool people.

This is my first year of university, I live alone and I’m of course more independent than last year. I used to think that that part could be the more difficult, but is not the case. It’s and achievement, I think. Technology is so awesome that I haven’t lost contact with people that I really care, and I love my friends and family more than ever.

The other face of the coin is the most difficult part of this year: the fact of meeting new people. It’s difficult to me to trust in people, even when people have shown to me that they’re good and cool people. It’s difficult to build a new world with different people from the ones that I’m used. For some this process is not that awful, and is also a fast and normal process. But for me is a very slow process, iIt’s just a matter of time, I think. After all, people around me are not bad people. Although this part is the most difficult one for me, I don’t think of that more than necessary. Another achievement of this year: nothing is so important, and present is the only important thing (and I'm saying it very truly. Now I care about much more about my mentally and emotional welfare than thinking about stressing myself with grades, for example. Someone that I love told me this summer: "You don't have to worry about anything than ending this day in a good way" and I have practiced it a lot)

The only thing that still lacks in my year is to know the surroundings of Santiago, and have a great summer.
