family and friends, part three

the photos above were taken at one of my favourite pubs in Cholula during a night out with Ana. this is one special place for me, it's where Lalo and I kissed for the very first time... it feels like forever ago, how much we have changed since then! 

it's crazy how one can get to know the other so well we almost become an extension of each other, there are times when he understands me better than I do, and time spent together is precious and highly valued. I'm not saying that everything is beautiful and easy, it certainly is not. relationships are full time jobs , they require patience, trust, respect and lots of dedication. you cannot simply take things for granted, you have to make it work, if you don't, it will all slowly fall appart.

we both are very strong-minded, passionate people, and even though it's one of the characteristics I love the most about ourselves, it will sometimes turn against us. passion can blind and make us forget the reasons why we are together. I had been selfish and lost in many ways lately. disaster after disaster, I lost almost every gram of faith and felt ready to give up on us, I would cry my eyes out every night unable to understand why all this was happening. but somehow you didn't. you stayed here all the time, maybe distant and unhappy sometimes, but you trusted, you didn't let our love crumble. I was fearful and skeptical but you held my hand and help me walk through. I  can't thankyou enough for rescuing us.

I love you, I love you, I love you

you are just so perfect for me

I always miss you when you leave

it was Vale's birthday and she threw a small party at her home.

Vico and I did some weird stuff with the light bulbs and serpentine. 

I really hate that my lens won't work well in places with little light, sorry for the dark and grainy photos!

the day Ana found out she had been accepted at UNAM, we went to a small bar to celebrate. the place was empty so it was just us two and it was pure bliss. Ana is one of my favourite people in the world, and I'm truly happy for her. 

she is one of those people with a beautiful soul that you can't help but trust and love. I'm the kind of person that doesn't open easily to others, but with Ana I can be/say/do whatever I want and she will always understand. most of my craziest memories are with her, (actually, I met again with my love thanks to Ana's and my unabilty to drive a car decently and crashing infront of a restaurant, which made us go to another one that happened to be Lalo's!). 

Ana is kind and beautiful, she is so full of joy and makes you laugh with the silliest jokes ever. everyone should have a friend like her. I love her so, so much, she is my heart sister. 

family and friends, part two

my mom, sibilings and I went to Los Fuertes to spend the day. it was a lovely evening with bright sun and candid smiles. we would walk with Codito and drink cold cider, there was a small lake with ducks and pedal boats you could get into, and later we went to a restaurant for dinner and it was all bliss. 

I've come to realize that ironically, distance makes us closer to the people we love. when I am with certain people or places for too long it all becomes dull, I begin to focus on the negative aspects and forget the virtues. I have always been a lonely person, I enjoy the time with myself and I don't need others to be content, which is both a good and a bad thing. this means that if I am with someone it is because I honestly enjoy being with them, I love deep conversations and getting to know what is in other people's heads, but being away lets me appreciate them more. us humans are such curious creatures, aren't we?

my love was giving a conference about multicultural cuisine in a few weeks, so he was preparing his presentation with the help of Vico, but after a couple hours of working we would just be lazy and fool around at Vico's. I love his home, it's so full of stories and real, every single wall is painted/written on by different people, including us. so many things have happened here, I have laughed, cried, yelled and loved there. it is a quiet and lonely, yet loudly and comforting place. I believe raw honesty is always better than esthetic beauty, and this is the best example of it.
