its time to refocus this post because at the begining it was mostly going to contain a rant much or less about stress and pressure throughout life whether it be from family, coworkers , friends etc and how that can affect a persons life.
though im still going to comment on it, its not going to be the whole purpose of this post in my opinion because i want to talk a bit about the elderly and how theyre treated here; so ive been pretty tense lately and yes its related to stress a pressure from others at times i didnt thought how much other people around you can affect you whether it be good or bad and this is one of those cases.
specially when the person whos doing it thinks its doing something good by applying pressure that can amount to stress and sometimes im guessing depression or burnout, we live in a society where everything and everyone is moving in a astoundily fast pace so much in fact that at times we dont stop and take even a small break to rest and think about the things were doing in our lifes and how these are affecting us and others around us.
i have to not let pressure and stress overcome me and my life, because that always ends up in a bad result. before i end this short post i want to ask what would you rather see a movie that makes you think or a movie like transformers to escape from the world even at least for a few hours.

of life and family , the road traveled and the road ahead.
so ive come to a realization lately, no matter how many things happen in a persons life whether it be good or bad, it seems sometimes they dont learn from those moments and continue repeating the same mistakes and continue with the same attitudes towards specific things.
in this case im talking about academic related stuff , heck im not the one to criticize anyone ive had my ups and downs in that department but thanks to a lot of support from family , friends and others i pulled through and graduated from psychology, now im doing a masters in a new area called psychogerontology its related to the elderly and the problems they have in this stage of life.
i thank a teacher i had when i was in psychology she got me interested in the elderly because of a research i participated in related to cultural knowledge of the elderly related to plants that help heal various ailments, theres one thing the world is noticing lately as the years pass theres more and more elderly people in all the countries of the world , so its up to the different goverments of the world to develop programs to help them have a good quality of life.
so a lot has happened since my last blog , some of it i know i cant tell here because its family related all i can say its that this is the first time in my life ive ever have to deal with a family member with a nervous breakdown in part i could say, though its going to be a long proccess the result in the end will be positive i have a feeling that will be true.

my year in a few words
first and foremost i know its a bit early to do this but i wanted to do it, because maybe if i dont i may forget some of the things i wanted to say , so i could say this was a year with its ups and downs but thankfully it will end on a high note.
now i know i graduate from psychology next year nervous and excited at the same time, it was a long and tortuous road; im thankful to have met some great people in the university i went to, but as always there were times when i was depressed and almost gave up but there was always someone or something that pushed me to continue with my career , i learned a lot of things this year in part in my university and in my professional practice how its called here.
i still have time to talk about the group of people im graduating with, so im moving on to family, so a lot happened this year regarding family matters, my sister graduated from law she was kind of happy that day and serious at times too, i wont get too much into detail since im dedicating a specific blog for a specific topic related to this year, my first blog will be about movies, my second about music and my last one a retrospectic on the year.
if i decide to add something more to this entry ill do it, before i forget tomorrow i start my last week in the institution im going that helps the elderly, hopefully it will stop raining soon and i feel a bit better so i can have a good week. so long for the moment

Its close to the Finish
so this is the start of a list of blog entries which will be about my last semester of college, among other things, this will be so i can keep track of what im thinking and what im doing in life, and to reflect on the past and the present.
to start things off last week i started therapy to know why i act the way i act, and why it seems im sabotaging my own life, doing the minimal effort at a lot of things, thinking ill live easy through life like that, turns out its wrong, since im in danger of losing my professional practice if i dont change my attitude to my work and life.
i admit something here, ive always thought if theres a purpose to me living and being on this planet, because i think at times there doesnt seem to be a reason to me being here, because ive been depressed most of my life, i wish i knew why, at first i blame it on someone, and now the blame ends on me, because i need to snap out of it, and get my life together or ill end up alone and depressed, and finish my career well, not only in the subjects im taking on my university but also on my professional practice, but on my life per se.
this will be the longest entry ill ever post here because it will be a reminder of everything some have told me about what im doing with my life, and what i need to change to get my act together, and be succesful not only professionaly but also on my personal life as well, so for the moment this is all, i feel frustrated because it seems like im comfortable with the situation im in right now, i should be now living alone and already working but that hasnt happened yet, if i change my view on life maybe everything will turn out great in the end.
guess what, ive complicated my life more than before, if i dont correct my thesis this week, ill lose my oportunity to graduate and my parents will kill me for that, so what am i going to do?, easy run like the dickens to my university, see what do i have to correct , do the corrections and hand over the corrections as quick as possible
this entry is a work in progress but for now this is all

Dealing with it
this title came out after and ok vacation as i would say, it was a week but a week that had its ups and downs to be honest, its related to a certain person i had the pleasure of hanging out with for three long days, why do i say this well because this said person annoyed me to no end , i wont say who it was all i can say is who carries three cellphones at once thats crazy i think.
so the week started off with visits to relatives and seeing some matches of the world cup, which were good i have to admit, the rest of the week was going to malls which was ok , and going to a city i never went to before called villavicencio thats part of the plains or los llanos , the experience there was different i guess the weather was hot, and it rained quite a bit, something i think people who lived there are accostumed to, coicidentally this week was the week for a lot of traditional festivals in different parts of the country, that celebrated different types of cultures and traditional folk music.
and there was also in the capital city of the country a festival called rock in the park, that ends today, where local, national and international bands play for three days all types of rock music, the entrance is free so anyone can go and enjoy different types of rock music in a different type of setting , and there are also a lot of these types of festivals all over the country they are smaller than this one but nonetheless important too
