The movie of our lives
There's several situations that worry me at the moment, but a few seconds ago, I got swept by "my" locker at the pool where I come to swim everyday. It looked beautiful, simple and colored coordinated. It could become an original picture of these times, not just mine, but everybody's. Like those...- Sabrina

I need to love again
Today, May 10th, is Mother’s Day in México, there’s no school, and it’s a national holiday for many, except for restaurants. The ex didn’t take the kids to buy me a present and I resent him for that. He didn’t do it for my birthday either… after 18 years of me always doing something for him to... -
Allowing myself to feel sadness
I was a bad mom last night and this morning. My fuse was very short and I got exasperated at the most menial things. They’re kids, for crying out loud, what’s wrong with me? I know what’s wrong. I saw the ex yesterday, after weeks of not seeing him, and he didn’t even turn the his head to... -

The introverted decided to talk to a stranger
‘I’m going to talk to him. Yes. I can do this, I can do this’. I swim everyday but I usually don’t talk to anybody when I go. Actually, that’s one of the blessings of swimming, no spontaneous chitchat that might bring me down from the clouds. The thing is: I like my clouds. They are nice and... -
Little Red Riding Hood no more
I.. connect… the… dots…late… but I do. I found the “mystery” of why my ex husband didn’t want a wedding ring. For you, my dear reader, it might be obvious: because he doesn’t want women to know he’s married, right? But not for me. I can have something in front of me and still not be able to... -
Changing how a man looks good on my paper
I now have a map with all the places with hidden mines that I have to avoid in my love life. These mines are charming, exciting, intelligent men, that had unloving mothers. I also have in my map a destination: a man with his feet on Earth, capable of love, (since he received lots of it when he... -
Good bye my Peter Pan, with love, your Mary Poppins
As I promised, I am not trying to make you come back to me. You flew, and I just want to say good bye from the distance. First of all, I want to say thank you. Only you and I know how much you saved me, how much you changed my life: there is a before you, and an after you. You were my Peter... -
The men of my dreams
I remember, a couple of weeks ago, that we both had a good day. That was not the norm, you being without a job, me, recently separated from my husband. The following day you told me you had had a very vivid dream. You were in a building, which collapsed, and you were standing there, unscathed... -
A letter to you, my love
I dreamed that I was in an apartment, in a building with glass walls, making breakfast for my kids. Suddenly someone calls me on the phone (I was wearing my Iphone’s headphones) and it was you. I get excited, happy, and move away from the kitchen, so no one can hear me. You talked to me, so... -
Relationships with men with bad mothers
I’ve had a variety of relationships: -The teenage boyfriend -The husband -The virtual man-friend. They are incredibly smart, handsome, kind and exciting. But they all had an awful relationship with their mothers while growing up. I feel like they are all the same guy, and that I have to stop...- Sabrina

Feeling ugly
I’m very emotional. I separated from the person that was my couple for 18 years (married for fifteen years). I connected the dots of what was going on this week. I was disappointed. All these years looking for a reason. Elaborating the most complicated theories. And the answer is so vulgar, so... -
Learning at dinner time
My eight-year-old son wants to know about the creation of everything, so I’m searching the web to find cool videos to share with him. He usually spends a lot of time in his own video games, he also has swimming classes, and spends time doing homework. And last, but not least, he has seven hours... -

Info Junkie
My seven-year-old son laughs every time he learns, or understands, something new. He recently asked me, how people with disabilities manage to do stuff. I explained that everyday tasks are harder to accomplish, but that they learn to do things in a different way. Then, I showed him a video of... -
Filling up your world
You don’t know your life is filled up with elephants, but it is, believe me. Pay attention today, and see how many elephants you can find. I had this epiphany when my daughter was an elephant-obsessed-two-year old. She thought that elephants were called ‘circles’ because I once told her ‘that’s... -
I have the most important job in the world
I read a simple question in a thread here in AspiesCentral: ‘Do you love yourself?’ ‘What kind of question is that? Of course I do’, was my immediate thought. Unfortunately, most people answered either ‘no’ or ‘yes except’. I was appalled. I haven’t always had the best self-esteem. Just this... -
My kids' minds
I read somewhere that we are all artists when we are kids (until someone says a negative critic against our art work). Likewise, we are all philosophers when we are kids… or maybe I’m wrong, and I just used to be a kid philosopher, and my two children turned out to be even better kid... -
