Mental health and spiritual growth

For some time I’m thinking about how people can express feelings, share with others and establish links with them in a better way.   The occidental paradigm talks about how rationality is the best recipe for all our questioning but, in my own experience, that advice made me take bad decisions when I used the rationality and ignore my feelings. Maybe, Now I don’t know what spiritual development is or how it works and I know this speech has been co-opted for capitalist discourse too (like many other things), but I don’t think that this fact can destroy the importance of growing up and feeling great. I think that it is important to discover how to do real relationships in a so individualist world, and do that with organization and rebellion that can be a revolution, not the only one, of course. I don´t want to sound hippie, but these ideas should be important especially when we live in a country with so many problems about mental health, bullying, anxiety, anguish, are examples ...

Post graduate studies

I really don’t know what I’m going to do when I finish my sociology studies, because I think that I’m stimulated for different things all the time. Sometimes I think that I could try to apply for a scholarship in my own field of studies and in this case, I could live in another country and learn another language. That sounds so good for me because I would really like to live in other place than Santiago. I like this city but I think that I’ve been here for a long time and go to looking another ways of life is a good exercise of maturity for a person. At other times I think that I want to do something totally different than doing an academic career and I would like to do courses of urban dance or theater classes and then I could travel world doing those kinds of things. In general, I imagine that in the future maybe I could do a job that includes my body in a more complete way, where I can move it and keep it active. I think that maybe I would like to travel to another country in a...

My future job

Since I was fifteen or sixteen, I don´t know, I always thought that my perfect job would be something about academy and intellectual people related to social science. But over time I’m considering many other options, and there is an option that it’s so different than be an intellectual and, in the last time it has been so attractive for me: dance teacher. This interest appears when I realize the effect that melodies have on my own body and how this help me for feeling better when I haven’t had a good day or time. Like others pedagogies I need to be patient, nice and be attentive to the need of my students. The best reward about this job is that I could be a bridge between people and their bodies and learn to others how express their emotions with their in a better way. One of the complications about this job is that I haven´t danced for too long. The most of people who do this, usually dance since they were very young and that is not my case. But it’s ok, because I think that...

My pet

Since I was very child I have lived with my family. They are my mom, sister and grandma. But when I was twelve years, we adopted a little cat: Cleo. She was so small and It was very exciting for me when she comes to live whit us because three months ago this, me and my friends have a cat with a big belly and both of hours later we can see how she birth to her cats. In this moment my cat was born I can saw it, it’s like really she was my daughter ajajaja Now, we have been between more than ten years and I think that she is a great companion mate, she always be with me in my room, give me good vibes and make my room a free stressful space because literally, the only thing she does is sleeping all day. In the future I will like to have more cats in my house (like the old Simpsons woman) but it’s a difficult situation today because it is my mom who paid for all expenses or her.

Hobbies and job

I always had a strange sensation with the split between what is a hobbie and a job While it is true that sometimes you have activities for which you receive a salary and not for others, It´s like always you have to decide which activity in your life will be more important and professional above all others. With the arrival of feminist thinking in my life, this sensation was more radical than before, because I understand that the most strict split was created based on patriarchal ideology, which one encourages a radical vision about what is what, and this is visible in hundreds of examples like masculine/feminine, formal/informal, rational/emotional, science/art, friendship/love, including the example that I’m criticizing now. I don´t want to say that all of these splits do not exist. In many cases life demands to make choice or decisions and you must use one domain or the other but I think that essentiality, life cannot be seen through this division because we are not part of jus...

The place I'd like to visit (Inglés IV)

The country that I'd would to visit, and inclusive maybe I'd choose it to live there someday, is Uruguay. I've never been there but I hear good things about this place. One of the things that I like is that it is a little country, with only 3 millions of people (or something like that) and, at the same time is a modern city with the advantages of big cities, like a big cultural offer. I imagine that's the best of both worlds: human warmth and some of chaos in the same place. The second thing is about its geographical location, because it is in latinoamerican territory and that makes me feel like, if although it is a developed country, is more friendly with our own ways to be in society. Perhaps, not all people feel comfortable with close contact with other humans and sometimes I’m like that, but in the most of times I feel good with more closeness. The last reason is about its weed legislation, because although I don´t smoke weed, that will be good for the m...
Students' manifestacions and tomas I thing that this feminist movilization is emotinaly differents than others. In all previous I think that be mobilized for a cause is a very important thing but I doesn't feel important in the participation, if I was here or not, It was not important.  I had never thought why, but in this toma I discovered that in the most of cases, the mixed spaces, with mens and women were machistas still. The patriarchy it was expresed in all our spaces and it is neccesary a different way to organizated: the separatism. With this, me and all my partners can take the discussion much futher than when we are with our men partners. The time after movilization it has been so cool, is a great and confortable places for us.
