The problem we human beings have is that we tend to compare ourselves with other people, especially for our economic position and physical appearance, this only brings negative consequences because God created us unique, we are all different with virtues and imperfections, we should not pretend to be perfect or expect other people to be perfect, we should accept ourselves as we are with our strengths and weaknesses.

What do you want from life?

Currently in life I just want to live in peace and tranquility enjoy the love of my family not to lose a moment because I do not know when will be my last day on this earthly plane, I do not say I want to be happy because having life and health I have what I need to achieve happiness, obviously on this road called life there are difficult situations and some disappointments, but I will ensure every minute of life to live in the best way life is too short to waste so I will be grateful for what I have and work for what I want.

What are your fears?

There are two things I am afraid of, the first one is getting old with health problems and having to depend on others, no matter how much love my children feel I feel I am taking away part of their life, I know they love me but as a mother I do not want to be a burden for them and I do not want to spend my last days in a nursing home being cared for by strangers, Another fear that recently came to my mind again is that they will bury me and I will be alive, as I suffer from claustrophobia it would be awful, I always tell my children to check if I am really dead, just thinking about it gives me a terrible pain in my stomach.

What are your strengths?

I have learned to be strong, brave, warrior after the divorce I took my children out alone it was not easy, I do not compare myself with anyone I believe that everyone has their own pace to grow, I am grateful for what I have I am happy with what I am and if I have to improve I do it, I am so strong that I have had to repair my own car I have a brother in law who tells me that I am a strong woman, determined, empathetic self-sufficient and above all responsible that I have also taught my children that is where my strength lies.

What are your flaws?

Nobody is perfect, what is good for me is not good for someone else, but I used to be a perfectionist when I had to do a task and it is hard for me to delegate because I think I will not do it well, for example if I was going to paint the house I had to finish and leave everything perfect even at the expense of my health, after the pandemic many things changed in my way of seeing life.

What can you do to become a better versions of yourself?

For me there is a before and after the pandemic this was a learning experience for me I learned to value the small details of life a sunrise, a cup of coffee, food, health, family, people in general I understood that we are all fighting battles, I am working on my personal goals and always look for ways to learn new things, I changed my eating habits I am focused on finding the best version of me.
