I finally finished high school successfully and moved
out of SLP. My last month there was bittersweet, I was excited for my
travels and this entire new chapter, but also scared as hell of being alone, I
was afraid of losing Lalo, and sad to leave the ones I love.
I didn’t meet a lot of people in San Luis, but those I
did are amazing, wise, beautiful, kind hearted, and all other superlatives I
know. They made my short stay in that city worth all the pain I felt there and
I’m really lucky to be able to call them friends. I don’t feel the need to say
their names, I’m sure they know who they are.
After leaving San Luis Potosí I spent two weeks in
Puebla and then a couple of days in Mexico City. I then headed off to Playa del
Carmen, which is my home right now. It’s been three weeks since the wind flew me here
and these have been the most exciting, scary, lonely, and real days of my
existence. I feel like I had lived in a bubble for all my life and suddenly I
was thrown to the big bad world all by myself.
It’s been so hard being away from Lalo after a year
and a half of being inseparable of him. The first days I would cry my eyes out
and ask myself what the hell was I doing with my life. I didn’t understand
anything and the heat of this city was driving me crazy. I didn’t know anybody
here and felt the loneliest ever. I wouldn’t get out of the house if it wasn’t
strictly necessary because I was sad and scared and wanted my bubble with the
perfect world back, and Lalo with it.
After a few days it all started to make more sense.
Aide, the girl with who I live with, has been the greatest, she takes me to the
places she likes and we have delicious red wine nights filled with the most
honest conversations. Right now her Hungarian friend Agnes, is staying with us
and she sleeps on the floor and I sleep on the couch, and it’s all so much fun
and I feel like I’m living in a twister and it never stops. I think I am
beginning to understand this city, but not this life, it’s so filled with
surprises and unpredictable, and I’m loving it. I know it’s only been a few weeks
since I arrived, but my life has been so fast and everchanging that I truly
feel it’s been months. I think I already am a completely different person from
the one that took that plane some days ago.
