I’m tired of suffering. To fight to get everything at any price. I got tired of going fast, of walking towards the goals I was supposed to pursue.

I got tired of suffering for not living the ideal moment. I got tired of having a hard time worrying about things that weren’t even happening.

I was exhausted from feeling the run-run in my stomach every time my head alerted me to all the monstrosities that could happen. I got exhausted thinking that others had to change, that others were not in the right place, that others did not accept me or that others were worse.

I also got tired of thinking that I was less, that I was more, that I was strange or that no one understood me.

I gave up under so much pressure. I gave up and let go. And I decided to stop suffering and now I find out that it is not necessary to fight so much against what does not happen or so much fight for something to happen.

That you learn from everything and die from almost nothing That everything comes and that if you look for it with less anxiety, perhaps it will come better. That you can chase it without so much speed, enjoying a gentle chase.

That you learn from everything and die from almost nothing That everything that goes wrong or hurts is as positive as the positive. That after a good descent is followed by a great rise and that on the descent it is not necessary to fight against it either. That life is full of downs and that, with each down, I learn more and more.

And now that I have surrendered, that I no longer fight desperately, that I no longer worry unnecessarily, that I do not try to change people, that I do not need to fill myself from the outside because from within everything appears… life is so different… that I think that yes More drops are coming, I will become a prodigal fan of them.

And now that I have given up, I get exhausted just thinking about what we end up suffering by thinking, analyzing, persecuting, criticizing… when life only asks us to live it… when you learn from everything and die from almost nothing
