The Generation of the 2000's

Today I was thinking what defined the last decade. I don't even know how to call it, and actually nobody does. Is it the Aughties? The Double-Zeroes? The Oh-Ohs? The 2K’s? The Zeds? I have no idea. But I realized that according to the age, everybody has a different opinion on what really had an impact on the world during the last 10 years. But at the end of the day, this was OUR GENERATION. The people that are between 15 and 30 years old are the ones that were defined by that decade. I don't care what 40 or 50 year old prehistoric humans say, they grew up in the 70's, 80's 90's. But the beginning of the century was ours. And the next decade is also ours, and we are the only ones that were shaped according to the evens, the music, the movies, the celebrities, the books, etc. So I googled "What Defined the 2000's?" And all I got were useless things that only old people care about. So I decided to create my own list of what had an impact for us, the generation that cannot watch a movie unless it's HD, bluray, and surround sound. The generation that grew up in the middle of the new technological innovations, but that still knows what is it like to play in the backyard with your friends, instead of playing tea party on an iPad. So if my dad reads the list I'm gonna make about last decade, he is probably gonna laugh his ass off. But I'm sure that many people of my age are going to agree. I don't necesarily like all of these things, but I admit they had a big impact on society, and they were classics of out childhood and teenage years.

11/1/11

How can I get what I want, if I don't really know what I want?

So today it was 11/1/11 so I wanted to make a wish at 11:11 and when I thought about it, I realized that I don't know what I want.

First of all, girls usually like one boy and they are in love with him. I always say how much I like my boys, but there are 4 of them. I am not supposed to like 4 boys. I am supposed to stick to one. I wish Morgan was single, I wish Sam talked to me, I wish Mason lived closer, and I wish I could see Morocho again. I just cannot stop thinking about them, but at the same time, if I really liked one of them, I would not be crushing over the other ones right? Deep inside I know I want only one. Maybe I am scared to admit that I am still waiting for Morocho, and I know he is never going to come. Or maybe I know Sam will never talk to me, which is why I don't admit he is the one I really want. Or maybe it is Morgan, who is dating someone else. Or maybe it is Mason, but I don't wanna like someone on the other side of the world. So who is it?!

On the other hand, I am between two different worlds: Argentina and the USA. When I am in Argentina, I wanna be in America. When I'm in America, I wanna be in Argentina. When I am about to go back to the other place, I wanna stay. And when I still have a few months ahead in one of these countries, I wanna go back. So I did not want to wish for a place either, because I hate both, and I love both at the same time too.

At the end of the day, I should just wish to be happy, to accept life as it comes, to stop trying to look for the right guy, but wait for him to find me. To stop trying to go to different places and just enjoy one. To stop planning about the future if I've learned the lesson that nothing is like we plan it and to stop remembering the past if I know there is nothing I can do to change it or bring it back to my life. I should also realize that most of the time, those wishes that we make at 11:11 or at shooting stars, usually do not come true. It is a matter of fate, not a matter of chance. The thing is, I am ready for destiny to finally bring what I deserve. I am tired of waiting, I just want to find something that makes it all worth it. Something to look forward everyday. It doesn't matter if it is Morgan or Sam anymore. It doesn't matter if it is in Argentina or America or Europe. It doesn't matter if I am gonna end up being an actress, a director, or a freakin elementary teacher. Because no matter how it happens, I gotta believe that it is gonna be at the right time, at the right place, with the right person, and for the best reason. And maybe, just maybe, the right time is soon, the right place is Paris, the right person is Sam or Morgan or Morocho, and well... the reason is not hard to guess. Or maybe it is gonna happen in a thousand of years, with someone I don't even know yet, in the middle of Peru. But who cares. God always has a better plan, even better than the one we had for ourselves. And we gotta believe it is for the best reason.

So I'll stop making wishes. I will stop crying for the things that I do not have. And I will start smiling for the things I have right in front of me.

Well... at least I will try to do so.
