The true way of seeing life.

I was born just like anyone else, a healthy baby weighing 2,5 kilos, in one of the best hospitals in town. My father was a successful businessman and my mother was the type of mom who worried too much. I get to the world before my two siblings, Carmelo and Karla. At first, when my brothers and I were younger my mothers always make us dress the same way, it was a thing back then. We were the legacy of my father, so he always pushes us to be the best in everything, my sister played the piano, my brother was a football player, and me, well I was the smart one and the best good looking of the three. I and my brother were always competing for each other to prove who was the best in the family, we used to brag about everything we accomplish, my brother always used to talk about how many touchdowns he made last game, and me, well, I was that one who had the first girlfriend.

After my wife left me because it wouldn’t work out, I fell to rock bottom, I spend whole weeks in my room and didn't get out.

There in my room, my dark room, all alone, without outside contact, it got me, Symphony No.5 of Tchaikovsky. I had never realized how beautiful music sounded, I felt a cocktail of feelings that made carve for more and more. It got me to the point that made me go to this restaurant that had this beautiful, and then it got me again. Food men, I had forgotten how delicious it was, it was perfect, its textures in my tong was a whole new experience. When I got out to wait for my cab, I step out to the rain and men it felt great. I didn't mind getting all wet, I was enjoying the way it felt rain un my face, the way it sounded that drops of water and the smell of wet drain. after that, I went directly to my mom house, and when she opened the door and felt her arms around me I finally understand that I was blind all my whole life, but not anymore, I was seeing life in all its true
