RIGHT NOW




I just landed in Paris but once again, I left my heart in Mexico...I am at Paris airport waiting to board my flight to Amsterdam but I am feeling a knot in my throat and every now and then I feel like I am going to shed a tear. I can't believe I was with my family in Mexico few hours ago and now I am across the ocean.
This is just a quick post to let them know how much I love them and even tho I moved to Europe to chase my dreams, I think about them every single day. Hope you are close to your loved ones and if you are, go give them a hug, I would give anything to be able to hug my family right now.

Acabo de aterrizar en Paris y otra vez he dejado mi corazón en Mexico...Estoy en el aeropuerto de Paris esperando para abordar mi vuelo a Amsterdam, con un nudo en la garganta y a punto de derramar una lagrima. Todavía no puedo creer que hace algunas horas estaba con mi familia en Mexico y ahora estoy del otro lado del oceano.
Quería escribir esto para hacerle saber a mi familia cuanto los amo y que a pesar de haberme venido a vivir a Europa para seguir mis sueños, no hay día en el que no piense en ellos. Espero que tu estes cerca de tus seres queridos y si es asi, ve y dales un abrazo, no sabes lo que yo daría por poder darle un abrazo a mi familia en este instante.

I totally understand what you mean. Spain is not as far away from England as Amsterdam is to Mexico, but I miss my family every single day. It's so hard to move away from one's country.

Stay strong! xxx

Fasali said...

I know what you are going thru. I moved to England to become a stylist and know how hard it is to be without your parents and siblings. It's not enough to see them once a year but you have to keep strong and remember why you chose to come to Europe to make your dreams come thru. Keep them in your heart and remember you will see them soon again. :)

Remember why are you here (in Europe) and the reason (your dreams) will make this easier! I bet your family don't wanna you sad... Neither we! You're lucky enough to be able go there for Holidays! I have a friend, who is from Cabo Verde and is studying in Portugal, that in 5 years only went there once! :/

Karina Donayre said...

Siento lo mismo que tú, me encantaría estar con mi familia en Perú, pero estoy aqui en España para terminar mi carrera y esto se hace eterno :(

Besitos Andy y Feliz Año 2012!!

Joana said...

I know the feeling, I'm still with them, but I'm leaving in a few days, and it kills me to even think about it!
Your family knows you love them and they're happy that you are happy! :)

Yo también conosco ese sentimiento. Soy Morelos y me vine a estudiar al DF porque aquí voy a cumplir mi sueño pero muchas veces extraño muchísimo a mi familia . Aveces podemos parecer fuertes y otras nos derrumbamos como un montecito de arena. Te mando un beso.

Esmeralda said...

Vaya como siento que estes tan triste preciosa,espero que te sientas mejor pronto!

Joana said...

You're so sweet, Andy :)
When I'm at college I just see my family at weekends and I already miss them :( So I can't imagine what you're feeling right now. But you are chasing you're dream and remember all the great things that have been happening to you. And I'm sure your family loves you and are really proud of you :) Stay strong, Andy :)

I love how you are still so..full of feelings. I love how your blog is not only about fashion but how every now and then feelings slip through :-) makes it so much different to all the fashion blogs out there!

stay strong, i miss my friends and family too, eventhough it only takes me 3 hours to get to them by plane. it is always worth chasing your dreams, i am doing the same by studying in London and leaving everyone and everything else behind xx

I know how you feel, Andy.
My family also lives far away.
And when I visit my hometown,
it feels like I'm burning away.
stay strong!

ps. I love you're blog, read it every day :)

Sandra Merino said...

I understand you, Andy! but think that the distance is making your dreams come true... and I admire this. I live in the same town than my family and having a house is one of my dreams, but I can't go far from them... I like to have them near me... so I live in a little flat in a suburb and not in a house...
For this reason, I say "you arethe best"!

May said...

DECIDIR ES RENUNCIAR :)


"No hay opción, decidir es renunciar, y si lo vemos como cantidad siempre perdemos más de lo que ganamos, nos quedamos con una opción entre tal vez miles.
Entonces, ¿vale la pena?, indudablemente si, porque con el paso del tiempo todos nos damos cuenta de que tenerlo todo no es posible y que si no escojo uno, la alternativa es ninguno (de lo que sea)… solo hay que cuidar que esa opción sea la mejor para mi en ese momento y comprender que cualquier decisión pude rectificarse, modificarse, matizarse, pero que si me quedo inmóvil entonces renuncio a vivir mi vida, y el tiempo que pierdo de esta manera es imposible de recuperar"

Siento mucho que te sientas asi Andy! Se perfectamente lo que es echar de menos a tu familia y tener el Atlantico de por medio, soy de Rep. Dominicana, e vivo en Europa (Lisboa y luego Madrid) desde el 2002 y no sabes cuanto me hacen falta. Piensa que tu has tenido el privilegio de haber pasado estas fechas tan especiales con ellos, yo no las paso con mi familia desde hace ya 9 años.

Besos Se fuerte
