By the time I realized that I thought differently from many people my age, I had already passed my childhood and my adolescence; For a long time I wondered why this was happening to me, and I came to believe that something was wrong with the way I resolved things, because for everything I made a detailed analysis of the circumstances in order to have a greater vision and thus explore all the possibilities that were available to address an issue or solve a problem; This fact did not go unnoticed by some of my friends and relatives, who took advantage of this virtue or defect to label me as a person with enough maturity to carry out counseling or consultancy actions of an emotional nature. Soon after, I came to like what I was doing, because with it, I reaffirmed my belief that we can all help each other, in addition, it gave me a certain status of respect within the family and social group in which I developed.

Over the years, my advice ceased to be appreciated by those who used to resort to it, each one decided to face their challenges and accept the risks of the experiences, surely, this was part of their personal development, otherwise, they could never know their ability to control the primitive impulses of their nature. Those who experimented with cigarettes and alcoholic beverages did not notice their addictive power, which is why to date they have continued consuming these products, but the fact of not experiencing, at a given moment, what everyone or the majority did, I was condemning myself to live in isolation, because it seemed that no one wanted to listen to a teetotaler, because they said I was not tuned to the same frequency, so I had no choice but to join the fabulous fashionable environment, and cooperated to buy drinks and snacks. cigarettes, and already fully incorporated, I was surprised by the fact that they told me that I was a funny guy and that he had a pleasant chat, but my way of thinking betrayed me anyway, and when I began to give advice to avoid damage to health, again I felt isolated; In particular, it was difficult for me to talk with someone who saw life in such a superficial way, but I questioned myself about the possibility of missing something that I should live.

Over time, my body complained about the mistreatment I gave it, which is why it responded energetically with inflammation, first gastritis, then colitis, and a series of “itis” that make you clearly appreciate the importance of being healthy.

In childhood and adolescence, my exhaustion was more mental than physical, in my youth it was physical and psychological, in my adulthood I have had to bear the consequences of facing the challenges that I feared so much, but I have tried to make my spirituality as healthiest possible, unfortunately no one is a prophet in his land.
