My escape... books, writing, and music.

According to the dictionary the meaning of escape is "a temporary distraction from reality or routine." I think it is healthy for everybody to have a way to escape sometimes.
For me, books, writing, and music are what give me a break from reality. They also help me to reflect about where I'm directing my life, and to make my reality better and more enjoyable.
This summer I have spent a lot of time doing these things. The fact of having so much free time and few people to share it with helped me to enjoy doing these things a little more.
I hope YOU can find your escape, and use it as a tool to make your reality so much more worth of living.

The Guate of my dreams...

Guatemala is a beautiful country filled with amazing people and resources; but sadly its beauty is being hidden through bad news, sad happenings, and the ignorance of its people.
As Guatemalan, I have many dreams for my country. I love this place so much, that I wish some things could be different. In that way, Guatemala and its people would show what they have to contribute and make of this a better world...
I dream with a Guate where its leaders seek for justice.
I dream in a place where people can walk without the fear of being harmed.
I dream with a society that has enough knowledge to fight and stand up for what is right and just.
I dream with a Guatemala full of opportunities for its citizens.
I dream with young people achieving their dreams and doing what they love the most.
I dream with people proud and happy to live in this beautiful piece of land called Guatemala.
I dream with a place full of crazy dreamers that are not stopped by fear.
I dream so many things... and I will do what is in my hands to to make these dreams reality.
Because ACTING is the only way we can make a difference.
