I was at my room, finally dressed in white polo, jeans and a black stripe coat, I looked at myself in the mirror and I said -Who am I?-. I was very surprised saying it aloud knowing that I'm all alone in my room, but why after 16 years of my life I still can't discover WHO AM I, WHY!. I remember what Mark Twain says
- The two most important days in your life are the day you are born.. And the day YOU FOUND OUT WHY-. I know it sounds stupid coming from a teenager that it's still young, but I can't wait.
Mom - Tiiiim! I'm going to take a shower honey! if someone knocks at the door let them in, and give them some appetizers ok? your uncles jerry and mias may be here shortly so dress quickly! - I didn't reply my mom because I was very focused, but when I heard her voice it was like something poke behind me so I lost my thoughts. After I adjusted my polo and put my coat I walked towards the window and looked outside, I saw the stars and the full moon I was amazed, then I looked down at the garden I saw the gazebo and remembered the day when my parents went to chicago for 4 days because it was their 20th anniversary, and I stayed all alone, I remembered that I've invited my cousin to come over because it's been a long time we have not seen each other, and he was one of the BEST best friend i've ever had, so all I wanted for the first night was a drink and a talk with him about the past
and the peopele we met etc., but there's something that night that I remembered perfectly, was when he made me chat to a girl,I've even remembered his words - C'mon dude you can do it! don't be shy because it's better to try and fail than crying without even trying - at first I didn't believed him and just laughed, and it was very simple laugh without a reason after drinking two bottles of vodka with melon, so he showed me a picture of one of our idols Michael Jordan where it is written - I can accept failure, but I can't accept not trying - after that I texted her and we started laughing without a reason. After that long laugh... darkness, I can't remembere very much I just remember that I woked up the next day laying on the floor at the gazebo and my cousin at the other part and when I took my phone there was one txt from her...
#Ding Dong
Mom - Tiiiiim! someone at the door! I can't open now I haven't finish my makeup yet - me - I know mom! I hear that! I'm going - while I'm running at the door I was talking to myself - How is this possible I didn't see the car pass through the alleway? - when I open the door my uncles surprised me with a mini trumpet and hug me. They came in yelling - Happy new year! happy new year! - I start to yell with them, dancing and laughing but suddenly...
#Ding Dong #knock knock knock
I open the door and.... SURPRISE! my grandparents, with my dad, my brother and sister. I hug everyone of them specially my grandparents and kiss them all. While I'm hugging my grandpa my mom walked down the stairs she was beautiful with a fantastic gown and her hair looks like white spaghetti ready to be eaten, while everyone looks at her I saw my dad walking towards her, and he wishpered something to her ears and my mom smiled.
I can only think that he said something like -You're beautiful tonight honey. I love you -
