I start running away from home with any expectations. I choose France because I was learning at that time french language (basic subjects) Was just a way to escape. Everything start with any plans and for sure was super difficult arrive from Mexico to France just saying "je m’appelle Virginia" je suis mexicaine.... at the beginning I looked people from my same origin to adapted easily but after few days I realized that was just because of fear of new country, new people, new language was just to be and feel comfortable and understood. So I decide change everything, fortunately I planned stay long time in France, exactly in Paris so Paris is a place that you can love a lot like a tourist or hate like a resident but I have to find a way to love otherwise could be so difficult to live there. After few days I change the place I lived and the place I work ( i had a visa work holiday ) and all these changes defined the next months. I started to involved with people that really know the place and how is life there. For sure you have to keep people from your own country because are the only ones could be understand in some difficulties. At the end you have tonhave all people you can. Each group of people could give you a lot experiences, helps, and us as well. This is a mutual work everytime you travel. Is to exchange experiences, help, to learn each other. Well, after more than 6 months I could consider that my life start to have kind of stability not at all but a little bit more than before. And I could say that everything is thanks to the attitude we have in each step We make. Never never stop even if is a bad day. I learned that in a travel by ourselves nobody can help us more than ourselves And the power of the sky. But fortunately I have more people in that place that I imagined so that means something, we hace to accept the help and support as well. Because is for a reason where we are. So the humility is the key, there are always a time to accept help from others and a time to be things alone. And talking about it. I absolutely sure that loneliness was a thing that human think is a bad fact but I also learned to be alone, I enjoy every second by myself. I visited museums, i went to concerts, walk and eat alone and I obtained a value moments that will be in my head forever. In conclusion of this travel that I could define that the best in my whole life is the fact that I never give up because of a bad day, because of a language, because of racism, because of money, because of loneliness, because of sadness, because I didn’t obtain that I expected. I could continues saying bad things that happens to me but for sure I will say that the positive experiences I obtained won because I decided that. In the end I couldn’t continue my life in that beautiful country for the moment and is because a reason that I have to accept. So is just to accept the things that happen to us in the moment that happen because is for A reason that maybe we don’t understand now but we will see after. I leave that country with many treasures, the most important is the people was with me from the beginning to the end and the people God gave me in that travel. I could consider them friends and family for life. They made me a better person, they remind me who I am no matter the reason I left Mexico. And They confirm why I have to meet them. We just have to believe who We are even far away from home. The essence of life is to love and bless. Making a small change, could be with a little smile. For sure always be grateful with everything even bad things. We will see the possitive point after all. I promise!
