I'm on vacation with my sister right now, and yesterday we were in Barcelona, I loved it, it is such a beautiful city. We were at the beach and someone stole my purse with my camera, credit card, id and passport. To say that I was pissed is an understatement. I was so angry at myself for allowing something like that to happen, but thanks to my proffession, lawyer, I am good at crisis and handling emergencies, I located a policeman asked where I could report the robbery and went there. On my way my sister was avoiding me and basically people must have sensed my anger because they all moved away. We were on the subway and all of the sudden a gay couple enters and they started hugging and kissing and touching and you could just see the love there, I couldn't help it, it made me smile, I was happy again. It may seem silly, but I live in Mexico, and not even in the Capital, I live in a place where that kind of behavior never happens. The fact that everyone on the subway didn't bat an eyelash was even better, at a really bad moment it gave me hope.
Now, I am agnostic, and I believe things happen just because people make them happen, still I was so angry at the time and desperate for something to make me stop thinking about beating the crap out of that son of a bitch, that seeing the couple kind of felt like a sign a message and kept me from letting my anger ruin my trip.
I'm easy I know, but given where I live in, which is not a small town but still, seeing that is great, it gives me something to look for, to fight for and to be hopeful for. I helped me remember that good things are in this world and that they are far better than the small silly shitty things that have happened to me.
