THE ROSE

Once upon a time there was a princess who lived in a castle, far from the city, in the mountain peak. One day Maria (the princess) went to the city to buy something in the clothes shops, when she suddenly ran into a man, he had brown hair and green eyes, it was the prince. They talked with him for a few minutes, he was very kind. They decided to invite him in her house, we had passed a fun moment. They kept seeing him, and 2 years later they had marryed.

THE FAREWELL

That same day, I was lying on the couch, crying, desperate and not knowing how to react. I had been like that for hours and hours, thinking about everything we had been through, about our history, the good and the bad, when we laughed and when we cried together. I started to look at the album he gave me with pictures of us, of our best and happiest moments of our lives, but he was gone, never to return. I felt frustrated and angry with everyone. He had left me there alone that very morning. My best friend, that beautiful summer morning, had come to see me. A few hours later Claudia, his mother, called me crying because her son had died in a motorcycle accident. The same one on which she used to take me for rides. He had died.

WHERE I FOUND HAPPINESS…

I have lots and lots of money. And it has all come to me from my father’s company. I am famous and everything I do will have a social repercussion and I will be “Trending Topic” in the social networks.

It sounds good, and anyone who sees me envies me because I don’t really lack anything. And I have so much money, that if the world were for sale, I could buy it. Every day I go to meetings with other rich people dressed in clothes and suits so expensive that if they were sold with that money, I could surely buy a continent.

And I have tried everything, I have enjoyed vacations in all those places you can imagine, I have traveled to all the places you can think of, I have been with all the celebrities of this world, I have met women as beautiful as the muses of ancient Greece, I have tried everything that brings new sensations to the body, I have enjoyed all the activities you can count and I have tasted all the delicacies that exist in this world.

And from the beginning I looked for real happiness in all these things. I never found it.

Then I started a family, and I put money aside and put my heart and effort into that family. Something strange happened in me. That empty feeling of doing something disappeared. That feeling that I was used to disappeared. Then, I put my efforts to look for an answer to it.

Why was he happy now? I came to think that it was money that made me unhappy and unhappy. But I realized that when I started a family, when I forced myself to think about other people, I stopped thinking only about myself, and that gave me happiness.

Now I am happy, and now I strive to make other people happy. Money helps me, but it’s not the column that holds that. A person sees in you that you love him, when he notices that you stop doing what you want to do, to do what he wants.

THE THOUGHTS

I had never felt like this before, after spending almost four years in an absurd war, where brothers fought against brothers, I could not believe that this had happened. I could hardly speak because of the pain, the anguish, and the loss of many loved ones, I could not be the same as before, I felt insecure, useless, I did not feel like before, I had lived many things, I had seen many deaths, and at night I only saw the faces of my dead or badly wounded comrades. However, I had never been so close to my family, the time after the war brought me closer to them than I had ever been in my whole life, they loved me, cared for me and supported me in spite of everything. Now I think that, despite the suffering, I know that everything bad leads to something good.

THE DREAMER

Once upon a time in a town in the U.S.A a boy lived called Mikel. Mikel was a dreamer, but he knew that his dreams never  became true. But one day Mikel thinks that if he let the time pass, maybe the dream that he dreamt can be true.

5 YEARS LATER…

Mikel was still a boy and his dreams never changed. But one day Mikel was going to school by car and:

  • Oh no it can’t be possible

He saw Lionel Messi. They stopped the car faster and Mikel asked him for one picture.

And his dream came true.

YOU JUST NEED TO BE PATIENT BECAUSE DREAMS CAN BE REAL!

THE FINAL

It was the final, I was so nervous, my team was also nervous. The ninety
minutes of the match were finished, and the result was 1-1. My team’s
goal was from a penalty and the other team’s goal was from a corner.
The most important moment of the night was the penalties. The captain
of the team (my best friend) shot first . Unfortunately he missed. The
other guy of the opposite team also missed. It was my turn, I was so
nervous. It was my moment to win the trophy for my team mates. Epicly
the alarm rang and it was time to go to school.

THE FEAR OF THINK

Humans are obstinate with our beliefs of what we know. We are by nature questioning beings. Sometimes when something that doesn’t correspond to us or to our thoughts happens, being perfectionists, we overthink about that and even become obsess with fix those even though deep down we are denying it, until we get tired and stop trying that when really, is just a wrong idea. Sometimes we are slaves of our thoughts and ideas of what we have to. But the main thing is that the root of these, are the nature of our good inclination and we also aren’t obligated to follow them. Only one by himself has the decision of the actions through his life. Don’t be perfectionist and don’t analyze too much, just believe in yourself, you can do it!

A MODERNIZED TRADITION

It was a beautiful spring day in Barcelona, and the streets were buzzing with excitement for St. George’s Day. Maria, a young aspiring writer, had just released her debut novel and was eagerly setting up her booth in the city’s main square. As she arranged her books and roses, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride and accomplishment. Suddenly, a handsome stranger approached her booth and struck up a conversation. They bonded over their shared love of literature and before long, Maria found herself falling for him. As the day drew to a close and the crowds began to disperse, the stranger presented Maria with a red rose and asked for her phone number. It was a St. George’s Day she would never forget, as it marked the beginning of a beautiful new chapter in her life.

A DAY IN THE FOREST

It was a day in a very dark forest, gloomy but the truth was that it was very modern and new.

We were three friends in that dark forest, the three of us wondered what we are doing here, as soon as we wondered that, a very tall, old witch appeared to us and with many warts and wrinkles. We asked her what are you doing here and she said this is my forest I have all the years of my life waiting for someone to, then he took the three of us and took them to his house, he said that he wanted to eat us all because he hadn’t eaten for a long time, between the three of us we took the witch and burned her.

We finally found our way and went home.
