I am in Love. No, I am not in a relationship. I am so in love with my life, with me. For a long time, I tried to find happiness outside of me. I looked for love in trinkets, in experiences and I looked for others to fulfill me, but none of that worked.

This is me. I am Omayra. I hated my name. I have no middle name. I am Omayra. It is not a common name. I love my name. It has taken a long time for me to be comfortable in my own skin. I lived many things that had shaped my character and taught me many lessons.

I am not sure what the future brings. I have many things I will like to do and places I will like to see. However, I know that even if I don’t get to do or see them, I will be happy because I made up my mind to be joyful either way. Life is too short. I wish I could live to see two hundred with youth and energy to experience things and create things, but I know that will not happen. So, I am making the best with what I have. What do I do? How do I live? I learned that material things could be stolen, lost, or destroyed, so do not place your heart in material things.

On the other hand, things are easily replaceable at least some are. However, people can never be replaced. So, I learned to be careful to treat others like I would a cherished family member because they are irreplaceable. Am I always successful? No, I am human, and I am a Veteran with a low level of patience, that tends to use colorful language when I am stressed, with a dark sense of humor, and some people get offended easily lately.

Furthermore, I will not compromise my values, loyalties, and religious beliefs for any human. But I will respect the sanctity of a person’s right to be just as human as I. How about you? Where are you in this journey? Let me know in the comments.

For now have a blessed day
