I met my youth on top of a Brooklyn building.

The dawn.

Being young is the last chance that we have to make all of our dreams come true.
I never thought that at my age of 29 I would be drinking beer with my tremendous sister and a bunch of strangers and having the time of my life. Actually, I never thought I would be visiting New York any time soon, it was more like a dream. So, when my dad asked me what would I want for my bday, after having two bdays without getting any presents, the idea of going there with my sister seemed just perfect.

When a stranger helps u with your amazingly heavy suitcase and invites you to a party, it means that is time to live, to experience, to build a memory.

I can't remember the last time I saw the sunrise. But that night I was going to brake a record. I was going to swallow my tiredness and to keep up with my drunkness, and became young, once again.
Didn't matter if my mascara was all over my cheeks, or if my hair was a mess, it didn't matter if I didn't know anyone there, we all became friends. The best ones.

Barely we do things like that, the grown up life has tied us to do certain things, and to refuse to do some other, because they don't match with your age or with the kind of life you have or the one you are suppose to have. But then, if you stop for a little bit and reflect about life, about what makes u happy, most of the times u realized there are many things that you wanna do, but u limit yourself of doing, because of what people might think or even worst, what would you think about yourself.

They say life is short, certanly the dead people can't tell us that, but if they could, they probably second that. So, we should be able to say no to all the stablishment, to say no to the make up and the dressing up thing, to say no to whatever customes we wear, and say yes to us, to the real us and our desires.

The strangers, my sister and me

Because for me, that night-day, meant all that and more. I didn't care and I did it, it might seem something small, something not worth to mention, but to me that was the night when I reconected with myself, and said to me: fuck the make up, fuck your accent, fuck costumes, and fuck manhattan. Life looks way more fun on top of a Brooklyn building. Life looks way more fun when u r young, and u can be young as long as you let yourself be childish, be a teenager... The main difference, that I see, between a grown up and a kid, is that the last ones, have the ability of seeing beauty even in a trash can.

I'm free

P.S.- and by the way, i saw pictures, and it turns out that you look better when you don't care about how you look :)
