RE: Single Prompt Option - The Weekend Freewrite - 3/11/2023

I look back and see how many miles I have come since the time each of my parents died, 10 years ago. So much has happened, so much has happened. Hundreds of experiences and people talking, betting against me.

I remember precisely how gossips vociferated that I would not be able to spend more than 3 months without the support of my relatives, who had already passed away by that time. They said that I couldn't support myself, that I would be unable to pay the bills and maintain the home.

I have been doing it for 10 years, by my own means, solving each of the difficulties that arise. And not only with the aspect of the apartment, but also on other levels, speaking of the health challenge (which is very hard and complex to face a situation of this type if you do not have health insurance, family or people who are with you at home to help you when it corresponds to you to cross a situation of this type), and of having overcome different difficult situations. That time when I had to sleep on the street for having been prey to criminals who left me without the keys to my house was one of the times that I will never forget. That feeling of having to sleep in the street next to a beggar and a street dog that were my company, is an experience that I don't wish on many people (yes, I think that there are people who deserve to go through that, but I'm not going to talk about it now).

And many other experiences, a long way to go.

We do not know what other people have experienced, so today I invite you to reflect and be kind to others, do not judge anyone right off the bat. And I say this because a few days ago I found out how someone who represented a correct person for me judged myself for a nonsense that does not represent what I am... At that moment I realized that you only need to make a minimum mistake to damage a whole reputation that you have built for more than 40 years.

Try to always be gentle with everyone, even with your worst enemies or the people you hate the most, if they hate someone.

That is the message that I leave you for these 5 minutes of freewriting this weekend.
