Eran días felices para aquel joven soñador, eran días de fiesta y sonrisa para él que imaginaba siempre un mundo mejor, como todo ser humano que crece y aprende, le tocó conocer la nueva realidad de la vida de un adulto, donde entran responsabilidades y deberes, donde ya la excusa de ser un niño no es valida, él creció y es momento de ser un hombre. Tal vez su mente y su corazón le dicen que su espíritu es joven y que tal vez ahora siente que es mucha presión para si mismo pero ¡Animo Alberth! Tú puedes con esto y mucho más, aunque sientas que los problemas vienen como las olas del mar, siempre el agua llega a su calma.

They were happy days for that young dreamer, they were days of celebration and smiles for him who always imagined a better world, like every human being who grows and learns, it was his turn to know the new reality of the life of an adult, where responsibilities and duties enter, where the excuse of being a child is no longer valid, he grew up and it is time to be a man. Maybe his mind and his heart tell him that his spirit is young and maybe now he feels that it is too much pressure for himself but Courage Alberth! You can handle this and much more, even if you feel that the problems come like the waves of the sea, the water always reaches its calm.

Desde muy pequeño ha sido victima de bullying, criticas destructivas y rechazo por algunos que sienten envidia pero incluso eso fue motivador para que a pesar de caer, finalmente pudiera ponerse de pie, decidir seguir luchando por sus metas y sus objetivos. Con sus audífonos y una lista de canciones muy especifica, Alberth se sentaba a la orilla del mar contemplando los atardeceres dejando que la brisa toque su rostro y liberando ese mar de lagrimas que nadie nunca alcanzaba a ver, hacer eso le traía paz a su mente y su corazón, ver las olas y las aves en el horizonte y el sol esconderse, para él era el fin de un terrible día y el primer paso para el inicio de otro día que si podría ser maravilloso.

From a very young age he has been a victim of bullying, destructive criticism and rejection by some who are envious but even that was motivating so that despite falling, he could finally stand up, deciding to keep fighting for his goals and objectives. With his headphones and a very specific playlist, Alberth would sit by the seashore contemplating the sunsets letting the breeze touch his face and releasing that sea of tears that no one ever got to see, doing that brought peace to his mind and heart, seeing the waves and the birds on the horizon and the sun going down, for him it was the end of a terrible day and the first step to the beginning of another day that could be wonderful.

Sumergido en sus penas y en sus silencios, nadie creía que aquel jovencito feliz ahora se estaba llenando de resentimiento, ver que realmente las personas no son tan honestas y que quien menos crees es quien más rápido puede darte una puñalada, afectó mucho su carácter y su fe en las personas. A veces Alberth simplemente quisiera que todas sus penas se fueran con las olas del mar pero incluso aquella vista maravillosa se podría empañar si pudiera en lo mas profundo del océano su mal enterrar, cada día decidido a seguir adelante pero quien sabe cuanto su corazón aguante.

Immersed in his sorrows and in his silences, no one believed that that happy young man was now filling with resentment, seeing that people are not really honest and that who you least believe is the one who can stab you the quickest, affected his character and his faith in people a lot. Sometimes Alberth simply wished that all his sorrows would go away with the waves of the sea but even that wonderful sight could be tarnished if he could in the deepest part of the ocean bury his evil, every day determined to move forward but who knows how much his heart can hold.

A quien podemos contarles lo que realmente sentimos si temor a ser juzgados o rechazados, así es como este joven vivía su silencio, como si bailara en la oscuridad, sin nadie que pudiere leer su mirada perdida, solo el mar conoce su verdad y aunque unos quisieron acercarse él ya no sabía si realmente podía confiar. Ser adulto no es tan divertido realmente y menos cuando no lo sabes enfrentar, no se puede vivir como niños pero si saber que muy dentro de nosotros aun somos uno, pero que de igual manera se debe madurar.

To whom can we tell what we really feel without fear of being judged or rejected, that's how this young man lived his silence, as if he was dancing in the dark, with no one who could read his lost look, only the sea knows his truth and although some wanted to get closer he didn't know if he could really trust. Being an adult is not really so much fun and even less when you do not know how to face it, you can not live like a child but you can know that deep inside you are still one, but that you still have to grow up.

Alberth, logró todo lo que quería para sus seres queridos, ayudar al prójimo era su pasión incluso si luego no se le era agradecido, él sentía satisfacción pero se sentía solo y perdido, su único deseo era ser libre, desbordar ese mar de lagrimas y liberarse de todo mal, nadar hasta lo mas profundo del océano donde la tristeza jamás lo pudiera encontrar. Un día simplemente en aquel tronco junto a la orilla del mar a él no se le vio más, se habría ido a donde siempre quiso y tal vez ahora si es feliz en realidad.

Alberth, achieved everything he wanted for his loved ones, helping others was his passion even if he was not grateful, he felt satisfaction but he felt lonely and lost, his only desire was to be free, overflow that sea of tears and free himself from all evil, swim to the deepest part of the ocean where sadness could never find him. One day simply on that log by the seashore he was no longer seen, he would have gone where he always wanted to go and maybe now he is really happy.

A veces nos enfrascamos en solo ver la portada de un libro sin conocer su interior, vemos rostros de personas felices pero quien sabe por lo que estén pasando internamente, esas luchas consigo mismos que en ocasiones terminan mal. Así que si ves a alguien que no parezca completamente feliz o que sospeches que algo le está ocurriendo, no intentes solucionarle su problema, bríndale tu apoyo para que tenga el valor de confrontarlo y salir adelante por si mismo. La depresión es un problema de salud grave y no sabes quien pueda necesitarte, se gentil.

Sometimes we get caught up in just seeing the cover of a book without knowing the inside, we see faces of happy people but who knows what they are going through internally, those struggles with themselves that sometimes end badly. So if you see someone who does not seem completely happy or you suspect that something is happening to them, do not try to solve their problem, give them your support so that they have the courage to confront it and move forward on their own. Depression is a serious health problem and you don't know who may need you, be gentle.
