How I’m glad to return to my element!
Right now, I’m writing back in sunny Puerto Rico, my real home. I’m in 12th Grade- Cuarto Año, Senior Year Yedaix (that’s our class name, please don’t laugh and/or scoff). For now, I’m back in my old church, and I still can’t get used to many things. My tastes have definitely become Americanized, and I’m with my family again, and I missed the eternal heat of the tropics, eighteen degrees below the Equator. I don’t know, maybe I missed Puerto Rico even more than I thought…
I thank my Lord for these most awkward two years. Those months that I felt hushed and broken, misled and confused…this is the fruit of His labor. I know my thoughts haven’t reached exponential heights, but my writing is a work in progress. (These things you never see coming, even if someone obviously requete-plans it…)
So I’m back to reality. Am I happy with it? Eh…can you please meet me halfway on that one? After 329-ish days of American bliss, now I get to breathe hot air and bureaucratic idiosyncrasies. We’re working a bit to hit the “Play” button again I so don’t wanna hit, but if God wants, it’s worth it. For the next few months, I will challenge myself to write about things that mean to people. Just challenge me to do it…please, I want to!
Writing these words, I feel in a fuzzy place right now. (Sorry for the abhorrent nervousness.) Standing in front of a wide-inch computer monitor brings me memories of all the emotions, blood, toil, sweat, and keys written for God’s glory-and of course, your enjoyment.
In other news, if you can, for a moment, for a brief moment, just think about…
IF you can sum-up your life in one word, what would it be, and why? I want to know how you think, we’ll start from there.
Of course, any ideas, thoughts, comments, challenges, prayers, anything you need, please don’t hesitate to tell it.
Blessings from Puerto Rico, and your crisitino preferido,
Jose E.
