Donde Pertence

Lo Echo, Echo esta.

Donde Pertence

Don’t look back––what is done is done.

Lo Echo, Echo esta.


‘Crying until I can no longer cry

Calling your name out in the middle of nowhere

Will not bring you back alive

Or will not undo the past.'


El Pasado is El Pasado.

Twelve hours ago become history already.

Pounding on your past will not bring you anything back,

But cloud your mind on unwanted, unneeded-emotions-thoughts:

On what could of, what would of,

Or what should of––been.


This brings you nothing new to the creation of your presence

And or future awaiting you.

I am not saying that El Pasado is not valuable or not a learning experience;

Take what you want from it:

The experiences gained, the learned lessons, the memories;

And move forward, solo para adelante.


Nadamas, don’t look back.


You can’t undo El Pasado:

You can’t disappear, you can’t undo, what happened;

Something that may have been out of your control.

Words said cannot be unsaid,

They cannot be taken back,

They could only continue to be created.


All that is left is that future,

A future,

Tu presencia esta garantizada.

Toma control ahora en adelante.


If you turn back,

You may not return,

Or may not continue,

Or may lose your path,

O pueda que te quedes atascada.

One day, un dia, in another world,

You will revisit, but not in this world.


Segue tu camino para adelante,

Deja todo lo demas en SU Pasado­––‘donde pertenece.’


Vive,

Day by day,

Hour by hour,

Second by second.


These are the small steps moving us forward,

Towards

Nuestras metas,

Nuestros sueños.

Not that unknown future,

Pero nuestra presencia.

That presence predetermines our future:

If it exists,

O it’s just our imagination..

Of all the things you can tell your own self, what is one thing you would tell yourself?

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
