Under Control



One more day. I woke up in a new place. I had to wake up without debating this time, a long way and maybe traffic is ahead. I gave thanks for being alive and start another day, same routine? Maybe a little bit different. It’s nice to be busy but it’s not cool when you can’t do something you want because of your busy life. Multitask if possible! Yes, some days working 8 hours and some days almost 16 hours. Atotal of 62.5 hours a week… Going the extra mile is always an opportunity for you or for others. The way I balance and manage my life has to do with “giving a little bit of this and receiving a little bit of that.” I learned at home that if I wanted something I had to work for it in order todeserve it. I'm very thankful with my dad for having taught me that, he always told me that I'll appreciate it later and that's how it is. Nothing was given to me without deserving it, though it was frustrating... Something inside me always told me my dad was right. I have very clear that“nothing good comes easy.”

Getting home after midnight, alarm goes off at 6 AM. Are youkidding me? Snooze button yeah! I leave home at 7:30 AM and come back after midnight! No way! I need to rest! 5 minutes more!!! Yay! Noooo it’s 7:00 AM!!!(One of those days) Get ready fast! Break my record so I can be trained for future inconveniences. Dry hair, braid it or tie it up  in the bus (ifI catch it on time) or do it in the car in every light where I have to stop. Call mom or dad on my way to let them know I’m fine and that I’ve been surviving for the last 3 months I’ve been working like this. Good thing is almost over... back to the 40/20 hours a week... My other life motto is “Don’t worry, I have everything under control,” be calm and take it easy.

Busy busy, fully engaged on what I do? Multitasking right? Cellphone in front in case someone needs me. Important call? Okay I pick it up or I can get back to you as soon as I can. Text messaging? I might answer in 2scs or next day (maximum). Facebook? Not really care about other people’s posts but Facebook messenger keeps me connected all day in case anyone wants to reach me or if I have something to say… 20th Century! I need to accept that communication is getting more and more nonverbal. Gym? Yes sir! Early in the morning or atmidnight, 30 mins or 1.5 hours at least 3 times a week.  Embarrassing moments? I think I was born for them… Sadly the most embarrassing moments are mine. It’s part of life! I cannot help it. Friends? Yeah baby, I love laughing hard with them. “Claudia, have you forgot about me”? Of course I haven’t, I always have you on my mind, I'm here for you. Count on me. Party rock? Oh baby yeah! Couldn’t be missed on Fridays or Saturdays! Errands? Go Saturday! Efficiency and effectiveness please! I love saving time and money, get me the best deals and don’t make me lose too much time. ----> I have many ideas, little money and little time to lose.

Lifting and edifying my spirit? It’s not about quantity, it’s about quality. I’m nothing without a great lesson every day, I can tell the difference. I need to have enough faith to keep moving forward with confidence in the future.It will all work out right? Following challenging and righteous advice has never driven me to failure but to success and real happiness, happiness and joy that I cannot find anywhere else and that anyone else can give me. Notepad by my side to write down at least one thing that I learned. Did I mention multitasking?
