Mucho gusto, soy...

Author: Juan David /

Primer post en español. Creo que se lo merece.

Tengo miedos.
Eso no me hace cobarde.
Me hace cobarde no enfrentarlos.
Los estoy enfrentando.

No tengo miedo de ser quien soy.
Ya lo derroté.
Tengo miedos aún.
Donde no los tuviera, no podría ser valiente.

No me da pena decir que lloro.
Llorar me hace sentir muchas cosas.
Sentir me hace humano.
Soy humano, no una piedra.

Ahora lloro y aprendo.
No me quedo llorando nada más.
Hoy lloré por primera vez de alegría.
Se siente mucho más cuando es por alegría.

Soy humano porque siento.
Ahora soy aun más humano.
Me gusta sentirme así.
Sentir mucho, y estar feliz.

El orden está llegando.
No entiendo cómo está pasando, solo sé que llega.
Sólo como las fuerzas divinas lo pueden hacer.
Energía positiva. Ley de atracción. Palabras sabias de mi ángel de la guarda.

Soy Juan David Betancur.
Tengo miedos.
Lloro.
Tengo muchas cosas por cambiar.

Pero tengo apoyo
Sé quién soy
Sé qué quiero.
No estoy solo.

Tengo P.E. y atre orden, cosas muy buenas y mucha felicidad.
Tengo amigos que me apoyan y están ahí, que me hace dar más felicidad.
Tengo fuerzas para levantarme el número de veces que lo necesite.
Más importante, me tengo a mí, la persona más importante en mi vida.

Thank you :)

Oh, why you look so sad?
Tears are in your eyes
Come on and come to me now
Don't be ashamed to cry
Let me see you through
'cause I've seen the dark side too
When the night falls on you
You don't know what to do
Nothing you confess
Could make me love you less

I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you

So if you're mad, get mad
Don't hold it all inside
Come on and talk to me now
Hey, what you got to hide?
I get angry too
Well I'm a lot like you
When you're standing at the crossroads
And don't know which path to choose
Let me come along
'cause even if you're wrong

I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Take me in, into your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you

And when...
When the night falls on you, baby
You're feeling all alone
You won't be on your own

I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you

I'll stand by you
Take me in, into your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you

"Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes"

Author: Juan David /

This year I have learned, I've made mistakes, and I've learned more. As a famous author says: "Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes".

The great mistakes in my life, the great learning so far...

  1. I took a decision that right now I think I never should've made it. Now I have to swallow it down.

  2. After I was knocked out three times, I know that I have the strenght to stand by myself and keep walking on.

  3. I just realized that I'm more near of knowing myself completely that I have ever been before.

  4. I can. Nobody can not pull me down.

  5. Life is ironic sometimes. I learned how to manage a team when I couldn't manage it anymore.

  6. I never end up my term as VP, when I always thought I was going to do it.

  7. I've come to be very important for some people. I am good.

  8. I can not worry for what I can not control.

  9. This year has been the more intense year I have ever had in my life.

  10. Change is the word that summarize this year.

  11. It's not that I like change or not, I just live it.

  12. People can hurt me as much as I let them.

  13. I have to select better. Some people are not as they seem to be, and it's not them, it's me.

  14. Nobody is bad. There are not absolute extremes.

  15. Walking in the others shoes is hard, specially when they don't fit in your feet, but eventually you have to do it more oftenly.

  16. You must be bigger than the other and show the reaction they're not expecting.

  17. Give yourself time to know everything fully. That will take pain away that might come.
  18. Limits are good. The most difficult limits are the ones that you put in your heart, because if you don't put it, they can make you suffer the most.

  19. You can never judge the actions of people. Don't talk to loud, it might come back to you and slap you on the face.

  20. You must act the way you wouldn't do it sometimes, to find something you wouldn't find on the other way.

  21. Life is life. We are the ones who chose how to take it.

  22. You can't escape from the things you did, wether good or not. They run faster than you and they're going to take you eventually.

  23. Age doesn't mean maturity. Experience does.

  24. Experience is not the number of situations in your life that you may live.

  25. The mature person is the person with a lot of experience.

  26. Experience is the capacity of somebody to take the full ammount of learning from just one situation.
There are just a few things I have learned. The fairytales doesn't exist by itself, you have to be patient and build it little by little. We don't know your future, that's why we have to live our present so well in order to guarantee a great future as well.

A great future is a future that is surrounded by experience, by wise experience.


Running away...

Author: Juan David /



Don't lie and say that it's OK.
It's alright if there's nothing more to say.
So I'm running away.
I'm leaving this place.
Yeah, I'm running away.
I'm running away.

Don't tell me I'm the one to blame.
It's too late for you to make me stay.
No, I won't stay.
So I'm running away.
I'm leaving this place.
Yeah, I'm running away.
I'm running away.

And faster than you can follow me from this lonely place.
And farther than you can find me, I'm leaving
Yeah I'm leaving today.
And I, I'll never let you find me.
I'm leaving you behind with the past
No, I won't look back.
And I don't want to hear your reasons.
Don't want to hear you tell me why I should stay.

And try, and try to understand me
And try to understand what I say when I say I can't stay
I, I'm moving on from this place
I'm leaving and I won't quit running away.

I'm running away.
I'm leaving this place.
Yeah, I'm running away.
I'm running away.

To stop, to start, to continue

Author: Juan David /

To stop, to start, to continue; a thecnic to improve in anything.
Now, I have learned that this is what we need to do sometimes in our lives to make it better, to know ourselves, to survive in the sea that suddenly born when you're not even expecting it, to be better and faithful to ourselves all the time.

To stop getting affected about the things we can't control. To stop trying to understand and to make things happen the way we want, when we can not control it, just because we can't. We can not control people, and our lives are affected on a different way for them, always, and that's the magic of life, always changing.
To stop worrying for the things we can not predict. Illusions and hope are great, but if they don't give you expectation but sadnees, then it's not good. You're not doing any good to yourself, and you should have happiness or learning in order to keep going, if you do not have any of them, then it's time to go on.

To start looking at the world with P.E. One exceptional friend and guardian angel told me that if you sorround your life by negative thoughts, then you attract them, and it's so simple, if you think negative things, you're not happy and you're not holding on to anything to go on. To start looking the things as a whole, and not as details, talking about the people, because you can not feel what the other feels, and maybe that person is just feeling bad at the moment and you can not judge because that someone didn't pay any attention. ¿What's my place on that person's life? That's the question you should ask for yourself and answer looking backwards, into the past, into the good moments you had. To start projecting yourself into the future as a successful person, but living day by day, without worrying about tomorrow, because we can't control what we can't predict and what's the point in wasting energies on that? To start being whoever you want to be, as you want to be seen. Just start, and you'll see the rest happens by inercy.

To continue with your escence, though you have a lot of changes in your life, your escence, your soul must remain the same. To remain positive. To continue changing lives, because that's what makes you special, when you see that somebody next to you is not the same, it's better thanks to you, that made her/him take that first step. To continue discovering a lot of new and fascinating things, inside of you and on the outside. To continue having the change. To continue becoming a better person, prepared to make anything, just because you're cappable of doing anything you want.

Change it, Do it, Keep Going; you can do anything, just with Positive Energy, think that tomorrow will be better than today because I'm going to make that happen. That if I fall, I'll have the strenght to stand up and keep walking on. I can do anything, I just have to believe it. I just have to believe in me as the others do it.

I can dream again. Let's dream. Let's fly into the golden sky, and you'll get to see the beauty of the effort you make to be happy. The beauty of YOURSELF.
