1 00:00:07,410 --> 00:00:18,910 Hola, good afternoon everybody. I have to say that I remember my childhood as if it had been great, and mainly because it really was. 2 00:00:19,109 --> 00:00:29,710 I had my group of friends, I went to swimming and music lessons and extracurricular activities, and all in all I had a pretty normal life, which for me was simply incredible. 3 00:00:29,710 --> 00:00:50,130 So picture a tiny, tiny, tiny red-headed 5 or 6 year old girl with an incredibly unmanageable and rebellious heart and a really big voice. Got it? So that was me. And if you aren't able to imagine that, you can just imagine it with an emoji we all have on our cell phones, alright? 4 00:00:50,130 --> 00:01:01,130 So yeah, that was me. I was always smiling, talking, and laughing, except for when I wasn't smiling, or talking, or laughing. 5 00:01:01,130 --> 00:01:11,129 I went to school, of course. Unfortunately. Nah, I'm joking. I really enjoyed going to school and becoming a freak, but I also enjoyed coming to high school. 6 00:01:11,129 --> 00:01:17,129 Anyways, my school day is going to be quite similar. I'm going to write pretty soon at school. 7 00:01:17,129 --> 00:01:23,849 I would be taught how to read or write and how to add or subtract. 8 00:01:23,849 --> 00:01:29,049 From time to time I'd say I had a stomach ache, so I didn't have to go to the same classes I had at school. 9 00:01:29,049 --> 00:01:32,810 But like every kid I guess, you know, nothing different. 10 00:01:32,810 --> 00:01:37,849 And then of course I would have to leave school, and that was what made my days different. 11 00:01:37,849 --> 00:01:42,969 So every time I started school, the kids in my class and I had to line up to eat. 12 00:01:42,969 --> 00:01:46,250 And every day we made a mess of a line. 13 00:01:46,250 --> 00:01:51,370 and when I say a mess, I mean a real mess. It looked more like a stampede of microbes trying 14 00:01:51,370 --> 00:01:58,090 to fit through one door. So one day my teacher comes and says, from now on we're going to be 15 00:01:58,090 --> 00:02:04,569 lining up in an alphabetical order and every day you move one place. So for example, I was the 11th 16 00:02:04,569 --> 00:02:11,689 one, so the following day I would be the 10th one. So we reached a point when I became the second one 17 00:02:11,689 --> 00:02:16,810 I remember leaving school that day and being the happiest person on earth because the following day 18 00:02:16,810 --> 00:02:22,509 I was going to be the first one. So I went to my swimming classes and told all my friends about it 19 00:02:22,509 --> 00:02:28,449 I told everyone I knew that I was going to be the first one and with hindsight now 20 00:02:28,449 --> 00:02:31,449 I think that I even got to a point when I became annoying, well 21 00:02:32,009 --> 00:02:34,009 more annoying 22 00:02:34,849 --> 00:02:39,550 Yeah, so the big day came and with big problems came too and when I need problems 23 00:02:39,550 --> 00:02:46,430 like I'm saying big problems or maybe not that big but remember I was five years old so everything 24 00:02:46,430 --> 00:02:53,469 seemed to be a big thing to me so the thing was that I was feeling incredibly sad and not only 25 00:02:53,469 --> 00:02:59,949 was I sad but I was also weeping like a lost soul and the reason behind that was that the following 26 00:02:59,949 --> 00:03:08,110 day get prepared I was going to be the 25th of the line and I know as dramatic as it may sound 27 00:03:08,110 --> 00:03:12,830 it was a big deal to me, okay? And I spent the whole day crying and thinking that life wasn't 28 00:03:12,830 --> 00:03:22,229 worth living. So my mom came, she made me cake, and let's be honest, cakes always work. I was 29 00:03:22,229 --> 00:03:28,189 happy again. But then I got back to being sad, and I ended up by not enjoying the day anyway. So 30 00:03:28,189 --> 00:03:33,169 I want you to stop for a moment and think about fear. So when we think about fear, 31 00:03:33,169 --> 00:03:39,110 we think about fear of heights or fear of spiders, and although I may also have 32 00:03:39,110 --> 00:03:44,509 those kinds of fears, because I know I'm a coward, I think that the thing that 33 00:03:44,509 --> 00:03:49,370 scares me the most is not staying in the present moment. So, for example, I'm 34 00:03:49,370 --> 00:03:54,590 always looking forward to something and when I get there I don't enjoy it. So, I 35 00:03:54,590 --> 00:04:00,169 think that with time I've improved a little bit with this, I think that I still have 36 00:04:00,169 --> 00:04:06,169 but I now know that if I were to make a line, I would try to enjoy the moment at its max, 37 00:04:06,169 --> 00:04:11,169 probably by politely laughing at everyone behind me. Thank you.
