The audacity of being human

There is not a "no risk" path for being alive, it includes tears, love and falling in your face altogether, it is painful, miserable, full of joy and also some crippling deception and fear.

The eventail of being a human ranks from murderers to heroes, moms giving their unconditional love and soldiers torturing and killing whole families, there is some people praying to be saved and others praying to find love, we are all a bunch of complex universes inside a little planet that can hardly sustain us anymore.

Sometimes in my long reflexion of every possibility of human existence I get so overwhelmed and scared that all I want to do is run and hide in a dark place where no one can reach me, it is frightening, how much the world can be awful sometimes and wonderful as well.

Then I remember when I found you, when I found all of you, from tender smiles and hugs to incredible advise, and women I admire fervently because of their strength and incredible beauty, men that go against every gender or role to just be the utter most human and faithful to who they are, incredible humans I work(ed) with, I am friends with or I have the privilege of dating or loving.

So many of you trying to save the world, all this people, the pretty colleagues who make me laugh and keep me safe, the friend who I can call at 12 am, the ex husband who even in pain talks to me cause we will never stop loving each other, the guy who plays his ukulele at parties and makes us all sing, the feminist who fights for equiality every day, the transexuals who finally found themselves, the boss who was human enough to cry with me, my sister who never leaves me alone, my best friends who laugh of me and with me, and a couple who is so in love that is inspiring in so many ways, all of you who keep helping causes that are considered lost, all the others who gave me their hand when they saw me in my worse.

Then I notice how connected we all are and I love you all, all of you, so badly, I enjoy with your happiness and achievements, I want everyone to be absolutely happy. I feel absolutely happy to be part of this forever achieving race and full of loving creatures around me.

I notice your audace, how you risk all your heart for what you want, how you believe in better tomorrows, how you try to raise your children the best you can, I notice how you are brave even when you were bullied I notice how you try to be better every day, I noticed how you believe in love no matter how, how you sing with your whole soul and your blue eyes, I notice how you want to everyone and maybe don't even find time for yourself, I notice how you forgave me and now call me your friend even when nobody believed we could be friends, and I am filled with hope because of that, I notice how even the death of a loving person did not destroy you, all of you are inspiring in so many ways.

I am so thankful for all this amazing people in my life, I feel like I've won the lottery for still being here with all of you, even when it involves all this risk.

This risk of being human
