My Hero
by Wendy

We are living in hard times. Life has hit us and we are fighting to move on. This time makes me reflect a lot on who I am and  what I want. I understand that everything that happens to us in life is to learn, to be better, and to become the best version of ourselves. Months ago, when the pandemic started, I was breaking my commitment to my future husband. I was about to get married and due to fate, things all ended. The plans were cancelled and my dreams changed completely. I was looking at myself with that person in the future, but everything changed overnight. For an instant, I felt the world was coming over me and did not know what to do. 

I was very afraid to return to the point of depression that I had lived in before, but at the same time I knew how strong I was. At those moments, I realized that my mother was really a hero in my life. When I cried every night, she was my consolation. Every morning when I woke up, she was that good vibe for me. She was the light at the end of the tunnel. I didn't know, until I started to think how I could through  all this.

The days and months have passed and that broken dream longer hurts in the same way. Now, it is just a good lesson that I need to leave to learn because life is a school in which we need to learn from each lesson. Now, I try to be happy with myself and with the people that really love me and appreciate who I am. I try to enjoy everyday doing what I love the most. Something that makes me feel very happy is that my mother is there for me and she is proud of how I have come out ahead. None of this would have been the same without her help.

For this and much more I can say that I love my mother, I love who she is and what she tries to do, helping me to be better everyday. She's not only my mother, she is the best hero for me in this world.
