“We haven’t realized that the fog on the road is just match smoke that needs to be put out. There is no struggle in vain, although the media tell us the opposite every day. From human to human I have some advice … “

I’ve wanted to write something from the bottom of my heart for a long time. The days have passed and I don’t dare to tell what I love the most, what hurts me the most and scares me. But one day I took my pen and decidedly wrote. It wasn’t easy, but I didn’t want to take any more time. I knew that if I took a little longer, I might lose my chance to be heard, to let know what I was feeling. It was then that I sent the letter without waiting for a response, but maybe a change. I don’t regret telling how I felt, I don’t regret thinking that maybe I’ll be listened and taken seriously. They told me that no one had written like that before, that no one dared. Some call me brave and others stupid. It was difficult for me to put the words together and organize my ideas, but once with the pen on the paper I couldn’t stop.


And that’s how I wrote a love letter to humanity. Do not be disappointed if it was not the romantic story you expected, although I have a lot to tell about those. This story is bigger than ourselves. I still do not understand how it all started, I tried to give it a few turns in my head, but I just felt betrayed over and over again, I felt that humanity (and in it obviously I include myself) had turned against itself. As if a family stopped recognizing each other and began to want to see everyone destroy themselves and disappear. It is not an easy story to tell and I do not know if it leaves us with much hope. But if there is a small chance that my letter has gone far and someone has listened to it, then I will not stop talking about it.


A few days ago, I came across one of those heartbreaking but real poems that make you see life and the world from a different perspective. I was afraid to write between the lines what came to my mind and that was why I understood that I felt sorry for humanity. Poor race incapable of living as humans, of seeing the evil that surrounds them and of realizing that even animals would become better. The value of life, which was once so high, today is cheap and disposable; time passes and friendship is no longer valid, neither the truth nor the clean feeling. Love dies slowly while fleeting and destructive passion supplies it. How have we become the race of the misunderstood? Values ​​are dying, there is no more respect and, when we believe that we love the Earth the most, we fill it with wars, envy and corruption. What really happened to us? When did we forget to be human? We have lost our essence, our value, the notion of time and space, of life and death. We have lost consciousness trying not to lose our shine in the eyes of others, forgetting that it is in front of the mirror where we should see ourselves bright. Today it is not about recognizing that we are valuable, but about others telling us. We have put our faith in energies that are part of something bigger, something we refuse to believe in. While some fight with their feet to save their lives, innocent of being what they are and not someone else, others are foolish not to listen to their chains so heavy and tied to the ground.


Finding what has been lost is not easy, much has been forgotten and for that, there is no hard drive that has saved it. We haven’t realized that the fog on the road is just match smoke that needs to be put out. There is no struggle in vain, although the media tell us the opposite every day. From human to human I have something for you: forget about the details that only stop you and are not really that important. Stop being interesting and look for your life to be seriously one that attracts attention for how much it has to offer. Seek to love and not possess, to be able to give all that you are and not what you have left after distributing it to everyone. You cannot pay the price to stay in your comfort zone, it is very expensive and it will kill you. Common sense has become a “normality” that confuses people more and is no longer common, but your task is to recover it. Don’t confuse self-love with selfishness. If you do not own yourself, you cannot give yourself fully to others. Realize that we, human beings, are an endangered species and that only a few know that. And finally, stop following others and create your own path, because one of these days when you feel exhausted, you are going to wonder worried if there will be life after death, because you will realize that what you have been missing it’s been time.
