Life's like this

These days have been extremely sad for all of us classmates of the English Teacher Training. Events that exceed our understanding have happened, showing us how fragile life is. However, as I always say, you win some or learn some... We lost a wonderful human being, Vanina, but we may learn many things from this tragedy:

• Friendship is a powerful feeling that surpasses this earthly life.
• When we leave this world, nothing material goes with us: that's why we must detach from material things and strengthen spiritual bonds with our beloved ones.
• In our lives' hustle and bustle, we place too much importance on our  problems and occupations and frequently we ignore or neglect the most essential things: our family, our couple, our friends.
• We must never lose the oportunity of saying "I love you", "I miss you", "You're important for me", "Forgive me"...
• The present is a gift and each moment is unique: we have to stop postponing. The moment to do what you need to do, what you want to do, is NOW.
• You never know how strong we are until being strong is the only choice we have. Not only does suffering makes us stronger, but it also shows us who we can truly rely on.
• We have to value our lives, taking care of both body and mind and always priorizing health over the rest of the things.
• We keep complaining of silly and insignificant things and we forget we're alive!

Even though it's so hard to accept it, everything happens for some reason. So now, we have to support each other and don't give up. Vanina is now near God, in some beautiful place and from there, she takes care of her family and friends. And we'll always cherish her memories in our hearts.

"Life is short: forgive quickly, kiss slowly, love truly, laugh uncontrollably and never regret anything that made you smile"
