Hope, dreams, faith, happiness
Fears, disbelief, skepticism
Up and down like a roller-coaster
Walking blinded
Searching for a place to rest
Withdrawing to a solitary space deep within
Holding the will to escape
Embracing the wish to stay
Up and down like a roller-coaster
Breathing deep… searching for the self
Remembering and accepting who I am
Knowing that nothing is lost
Aware that I am at the right place
Up and down like a roller-coaster
Holding things together
Prioritizing what truly matters
Breaking traditions
Disconnected…
Suffocated…
Squandered…
Fighting back while trying to remember who I am
Breathing deep… reconnecting
Up and down like a roller-coaster
Controlling the urge to yell
A battle within is being fought
among what I've been taught and what I know
Nostalgia of good times
Contentment of knowing it is just a learning phase
Holding, breathing, on tenterhooks…
Up, up, up
then
Down, down, down
Up and down like a roller-coaster
Such is the ugly reality of change…
Letting go and opening up
Free of fears and remorse
Detached…

You have described so well what I am feeling lately.
Am I to understand you have moved, but you're not going to Uruguay and longer?
But isn't it just this roller-coaster movement that makes life so exciting? Besides, without the downs we couldn't recognise the ups. I love life because of it's ups and downs. :)
I have often described my life as a wild roller-coaster ride... and I wouldn't have it any other way, really. The good, the bad, the ugly. So I identified with your words quite strongly, Gabriela... until the last paragraph. :-) (Nice blog you have; love the title photo.)
Keeping in mind the roller coaster ride ends at some point. Peace and stability are regained and perhaps we have seen new vistas in the ups and gratitude in the downs.
letting go and opening up.

and laughing hysterically every chance we get.
