Do witches exist? Of course they do, witches have existed since ancient times. If I think about it, I have read about them since medieval times and there have been historical events where they talk about the persecution of witches. Even in the most evolved times of history there was talk and stories of witch burnings, witch hunts and other things. As the church persecuted and killed people who met their parameters of what it was to be a witch. Since I was a little girl I…

Airplane 513, missing. Last night just as I was about to go to sleep I read on my phone a message that came to me in the form of an anecdote. It called powerfully my curiosity about the information it gave because I am passionate about the mysterious part of stories, as well as unsolved crimes, murders and forensic medicine. I have always commented on that in some of the posts I have made. I have some posts that I made some months ago about stories and fables from my…

My favorite. I'm about to celebrate one year here on this platform, read.cash. It’s my favorite place. I write on other platforms but I always write original content. I don't repeat my posts in the same way here and there and when I do articles I write them anew even if I talk about the same topic. Of course, I learned this over time, because in my early days I remember writing the same thing for two different platforms. Until I read that this was not convenient, since then…

Relationships and reflections... Relationships with people are always somewhat complicated. First you get to know the person who you want to know beforehand, he or she has a very nice personality, but it happens that this is the personality that they use to be nice to others. The moment you live with another person who is different from you, all the characteristics that make him/her a unique person come out. It depends on our capacity for tolerance that we learn to accept…

Do you feel compassion? In my home we have two cats at the moment. My cat Copito that many of you already know was brought to my home by his own mother since about 7 years ago that mother adopted me. Yes, as you read, that cat came to my garden and she watched me water my plants every day. He watched me from the street sitting on her two hind legs. At that time I had no intention of having a cat at home, my work and being constantly busy all day long prevented me from…

New celebrations. We have many things to celebrate. Life is about commemorating moments that are important, that leave a mark on our lives. I recently spoke with a classmate and colleague back from when I graduated from my first profession, she told me that we are about to celebrate 42 years since we graduated. Yes, by July 27, 1979 I was graduating among a group of about 40 people or I think we were a little more. The truth is I’m not even sure of the total number of my…

I'll tell you. I like many things in life but there is something that I have never been able to overcome and that is to be in a group of people, or in a meeting, or something like that. As time has gone by I have been able to fraternize with people but the more I get to know them the less I identify with them. I remember that I was always a different person, I look for a lot of details on everything. I don't understand people and I don't think the world understands me. A lot…

Why be optimistic? Human beings have the opportunity to choose what we want to do in life. If we want to do something we put our mind to, we can do it. Nothing is impossible because everything is in our mind, it’s the power of our own mindset. You may have heard someone say that "words has power" and this is because everything that comes out of our mouths comes out of our heart. Because what comes out of our mouth is what our heart is full of, so the words that come out of…

How I prepared to buy my first car. It was many years ago, back when I was 18 years old and I wanted to learn to drive, but I know my father wouldn't allow it. So I made the decision to learn to drive on my own, without him noticing and that's how I started asking for people who wanted to help me in this new process. I was studying in nursing school. The professors chose several students who had already passed their subjects and we should go join other groups to collect…

You are a unique person. We are people who like to be with other people who are fun, I think I've rarely heard bad things said about people who are witty and liven up groups since they are the ones who always come up with something funny and everyone celebrates. We may be sad, or negative people, but hearing someone funny makes us happy and makes us want to get close to them, because despite the sad and troubled life we may live we all want to be happy. *How* to be happy is…

I'm very sorry to tell you that I have not been able to post either here or on noise.cash because my internet is bad. Apparently a fiber optic was damaged and I am waiting for it to be fixed. I will be back soon.
@gertu13
Happiness is not a utopia. Many times we want to be like other people. We like the way they socialize, the way they behave. There was a time when I myself imitated some classmates because I wanted to be as nice as them, since I was very shy and not funny at all. So I tried to be like other people. Little by little I took a little bit from here and a little bit from there and so I was able to define my best way of being in order to please others. Later on I would learn that…

The dreams of my past. They say that dreaming doesn't cost anything. I have been a fervent dreamer all my life. I can say that many of the things I dreamed of since I was a little girl I have seen them come true little by little. I remember when I was growing up and in my teens I wanted to be a professional in the fastest way possible. I consulted with my third year high school guidance teacher and asked her if my desires could be achieved as I had hoped. I remember that my…
@gertu13
Yes, you can do it. My way of looking at life now that I am of a certain age and have seen and lived many things has changed. My way of being before was very rigid, maybe because I ran a lot. For me, having responsibilities was something to take very seriously, nothing lightly. My word always counted and it was like signing a document. I don't mean to say that I never broke my word. Of course I did, and many times. But just as when I signed a document and failed to meet the…

Try to be yourself, the original you. Why are we not authentic? Why is it that we don't show our true personality and instead dress up as lamb to later on become wolves? Maybe it’s because nobody likes to be a wolf, everyone runs away from the wolves but they approach the lambs even with loving eyes. People sometimes assume behaviors that they are far from feeling, like that of being loving people, being sympathetic to others, etc... We support them, we encourage them to…

Offensive words. Sometimes people who are upset try to offend others with words that turn out to be rude. Words can be rude because of the meaning we give them, or, depending on the place or the country where we live, there are some words where their meaning can be recognized as rude. In each region there are words that are adopted by the inhabitants to give a strong connotation to a bad word. When a person feels offended by another person he then makes use of those rude…

My first time. I love drinking coffee, I am a caffeine addict. I have been a coffee drinker since I was a few years old since my mother used to give my siblings and me a glass of coffee with milk every morning, this as breakfast to go to school. I don't know where she learned that a glass of coffee with milk was enough breakfast to keep us satisfied for 6 hours away from home, the truth is that I remember being very hungry when I got home. She would then give each of us a…

The memory of her. She was a little girl of about 9 years old, that's the age when she started to become aware of all the things going on around her but she still didn't understand most of them. She combed her hair in the mornings when she left her house, but no adult supervised her so her hair was done badly. Apparently no one in her family cared. She also did not like to bathe. She spent the day in the backyard, running around with her brothers, jumping logs, climbing the…

Will it be or will it not be so? How do we interpret people's actions…? Everyone has their own way of interpreting the attitude in which the other person performs an action. If we cannot communicate with people and make our point of view clear, people may interpret a gesture of love as a gesture of contempt. And this topic has come to my mind because I read an account of a person to whom a very special case happened. I don’t know if this case happened in reality or if it is…
@gertu13
Let's talk about respect. Respect has many connotations but the idea at the end of the day is the same. If we want to be respected we must respect others. We always have to start with ourselves before we go looking for something other than ourselves. I think everyone deserves respect regardless of the way they are, the way they dress, the way they talk, the way they live. All living beings deserve respect, but today we’ll talk specifically about respecting other human…

It’s a good day to be thankful. Dear reader, friends and all, any day is a good day to be thankful if we are alive, but today I realize that it’s a special day besides the fact that I am still in this plane. When I woke up and turned on my laptop and entered the platform I realized that I have around 200 subscribers. I have one year here and also 200+ subscribers. I never thought the day I was invited to write on this platform that my articles could attract the attention of…
@gertu13
Are you free? Being free gives a feeling of absolute peace, I love the situation I'm in now because I have no ties... well not exactly like that, but it is something like that. The feeling of not being tied to a schedule is really very satisfying. All my life I was coming and going according to my watch, I was coming and going from one place to another always looking at the clock. You could say that I myself became a slave to my time. This has occurred to me after reading a…

Shopping and cooking, and then some... Today we went shopping in the morning, we went there by public transport with my disinfectant gel, our face masks and our prayers. In my country the transmission of the virus is still strong. In some states the quarantine has been completely lifted and in other states there is a half-quarantine, in other words, work can only be done in the mornings and all businesses will do so, but in the afternoons everything must be closed. In other…
