Finding herself | Fox Tales #19

How many times Stephanie looked in the mirror, saw her face, her body, her expressions and did not know who was that woman in front of her and stared at her, to the point that her daily routine had made her a listless person, practically everything he did was automatic, nothing made sense, all his days were the same, getting up very early before the alarm clock even rang, taking a shower, making breakfast, she would get dressed and go out to get a job in which, due to the bad situation, she would not be given more opportunities, motivation or challenges, she would simply work a schedule and perform the same tasks, all for a meager salary that would allow her to cover his basic needs, and then to return to a house where an enormous silence awaited her, and there again in front of the mirror she sometimes wondered in which part of the way that cheerful, funny, spontaneous girl with big dreams had been forgotten. But one day in March the alarm clock didn't ring and those 15 minutes of delay in Stephanie's routine made it a different day, when she left the house she stumbled upon a person and looked up to apologize, which was better by chance her old classmate Andrés, that friend she laughed at loudly and always saw the positive side of things, and that they had many years of not seeing each other. When Andrés looked at the woman, he did not take long to recognize her, and he did not hide his emotion for such a pleasant surprise and gave her such a strong hug that Stephanie did not have time to react, the basic questions arrived - What a joy to see you How are you? Where have you been? Where have you been? What are you doing, after taking a break, she responds little by little to each one of them, however the low tone of her answers made Andres release an expression that made her shudder, I CANNOT BELIEVE IT, I SEE YOU, AND YOU ARE NOT YOU!! What happened to your smile, Where's Stephanie, that you did to that wonderful girl? I don't know, a lot of things have happened, and those words were enough for the next question to come up, Do you want me to help you find her again, to which she replied, do you think it's worth it? and I only heard a resounding YOUR WORTH AND MORE. And so every day after that meeting these old friends talked and remembered all those lived moments and the objectives that had been set and how they would reach them, they also talked about the not so good things that had happened, the bad decisions and how each one assumed them, and little by little, day after day, when they saw themselves again in the mirror, they saw how that dreamy woman was appearing, It was as if I was waking up from a long bad dream in which I was living, each one valuing her virtues and defects and aware that we have to live every day as the best of days and take out from her everything positive, that none should be the same as the previous one, that things happen for a reason, and we must be strong in the face of changes, that we must feel free and live without fear.
