A nightmare



I went to bed thinking that it is awesome to follow a 30 days writing challenge, and the benefits of this small discipline. It is easier to follow the instructions in having to reflect certain quotes, insights, thoughts from someone else.
I found more difficult to write about my own thoughts.
Sometimes it's easier to follow, and sometimes it's beneficial.

Today i woke up at 4:00am, a nightmare, again.
It's a wonderful coincidence to read today's prompt, and reflect in "the moment" when we have left our own path and follow someone's else "camino".
Because is so early in the morning and I have to take two pills for my nightmare headache, I found amazing that I can't remember the moment where I have left my path, except for when I had to follow my mom's path as a little girl. And I won't lie and say I have never followed another path... it's just difficult to remember.

What can I say about following my own path?
Is the most horrible, amazing, scary feeling; it is full of doubts and insecurities that cause you the most creepy nightmares and insomnia. It's a lot of risk and exposure; It's a lot of study, a lot of "incertidumbre"; creativity become overwhelming and at the same time wonderful. It's a lot of loneliness. solitude.
It's a lonely path indeed. Very lonely.
It's a lot of auto-correction, and auto-criticism; it's a lot of auto-discipline... and a lot of auto-love, and practicing confidence... and a lot of nightmares.
"Para llegar a ser diferentes de lo que somos, tenemos que tener cierta conciencia de lo que somos" (Bruce Lee)
"To become different from what we are, we must have some awareness of who we are" (Bruce Lee) 

Am I famous? Have I become rich following my path? 
no.
And I don't wanna care about those things. I don't know the feeling of "absolute success" but
I feel strong, and loyal (and holly)  following my heart.
:)

(I just wish to have less nightmares...)

 no worries... with the time we get stronger


dulces sueños.
