Hi there

Hey there, how are ya? It's been over 10 months since I came to the UK. Barely one and half more months to go and finish what I started. Then, a bit of holiday before returning home. Costa Rica. A bit scared. A bit excited. Sometimes, neither. One day at a time is what I've learned the most up here in Europe. And also not to take absolutely anything for granted: money, status, jobs, health, women, relationships of any kind or with anyone, anything at all. It all changes. Everything changes. I do too.

A few months ago I was determined to stay in Europe. Now, I've decided to let go. To let myself go and be taken where life wants to take me. Anywhere I find myself within a few weeks, months or years, I know I will be fine. Everyone is entitled to change their minds at any point in time. I've done it. You've done it too.

I've changed. I've changed my mind about many things in my life. Examples?? There are plenty.... it's 12.28 am and I don't have the energy or the will either to mention them all, but anyway, here I go: First, I've come to the conclusion that change, per se, is a decision, a cause to more changes, not a consequence. I decided that. I decide it now. Also, sick and tired of eating when I don't feel hungry and going to bed when it's dark, now I let it be.

But what is that "it"? Oh, that's me, he he... I mean, now I've decided to forget about breakfast at 9, lunch at 12.30 and dinner at 7. Not any more. Are you hungry? Eat. Period. That's what I do now. Am I hungry? I eat. Period. The same with my sleep, my exercise, my time to watch TV, my time to update this page, my time to call home, to call a friend, to go, to do, to feel, to love, to hate, to enjoy, to cry and do everything that makes me human. Life will be over way sooner that I or you think...so if you got something to do, you better do it now. That's what I am doing right now.

Why? Because I can. Why do people love? Why do people hate? Because they can. We all got the seed of good and evil. Both of them are equally present in our minds and psyche every single second we decide to do something or not to. It's a matter of choice. I choose. I choose to be able to. Why? Because I can. YOu got the same power, I am not different from you.
Jose.
