Things I'd like to say to my children






This is me when I was 3 :P

I saw something in a random magazine someday while I was travelling and it left an impression on me..



I've always been surprised about the concept of the homeless. Some people say they're happy that way.. Im not so sure about it.. Of course its way more complicated than that. There's the mental health issue.. and you can't force them to take medication (it actually made me think of the soloist, have u seen that movie?? it's very good :)).. Ok so, the thing is that I'd never seen so many homeless people in my life (not in NYC, not in Paris, not in mexico city..) as when I was in San Francisco, California. A friend told me that they go all the way to California cuz it's warmer..
But well, I started this thing because of a less complicated issue..

In that magazine I read, there were 2 things that I thought were very accurate in terms of advicing my kids (I want to write a letter now so they can open it in 20 years -or more- maybe then I'll have a little more credibility as I was writing it while young and "cool" LOOOL sounds so nerdish.. but u get what I mean, I guess) -its not that I have kids already, ok? hahaha-:



a. Think about all the things that had to happen (and didn't) for you to be here.
b. When you see a homeless person remember: you're 3 bad decisions and 4 unlucky days away from being him or her. Treat that person with dignity.
c. Always listen to your parents.. they're at least 25 years older than you, so they know best. Really. Really.

---to be continued. Lack of creativity hahaha...
