My soul is in a hurry
I counted my years and found that now I have less time left to live than I have lived until now.
I feel like the kid who won a pack of candy; He ate the first courses with pleasure, but when he realized that there were few left, he began to savor them deeply.
I don't have time for endless meetings where we discuss regulations, rules, procedures and internal regulations, knowing that nothing will happen.
I no longer have time to tolerate absurd people who, despite their chronological age, have not matured.
I have a short time to discuss the titles. I want the main thing, my soul is in a hurry...
Without a lot of sweets in the package...
I want to live near humane people, very humane. who know how to laugh at their mistakes, which are not invalidated by their victories. People who don't see themselves elected before their time, people who don't try to run away from their responsibilities. I'm looking for people who protect human dignity, people who just want to walk on the side of truth and honesty.
The main thing is what makes life worth living.
*I want to surround myself with people who know how to touch people's hearts*...
People who learned from the hard knocks of life to grow up with soft touches in their souls
Yes..., I'm in a hurry..., I'm in a hurry to live with the power that only maturity can give.
I intend not to waste any of the sweets I have left... I'm sure they will be more exquisite than the ones I've had so far.
My goal is to reach a happy and peaceful end with my loved ones and my conscience.
We have two lives and the second one starts when you realize you only have one......
