I like rational decisions and I don't like unnecessary risks, but surprisingly I really like novelty, I get attracted to what I've never seen, tasted, felt, learned or perceived before. I feel an addiction for what makes me question my own paradigms. There's a funny mexican song that says "Me gusta pero me asusta" (I like it but it scares me)
Despite being a peaceful and many times introverted person, I have been cataloged as open-minded and I don't know why, I swear some people have told me they see me as a role model and leader. How can some people perceive me like that, when sometimes I'm scared to death (as all we are). And I'm not afraid to admit that.
I do not believe in supernatural beings or entities or almighty whatsoever. I believe in freedom and suffice to say, that I strongly believe in respecting human rights. With our actions we can change the world for good.
The last year of High SchooI, I had a hard time trying to decide between studying engineering or visual arts. My teachers didn't help either, my literature teacher swore that I had enough talent for literary writing (of course in spanish); my art teachers took for granted that I would study visual arts because I was so "creative and passionate, and their best art student" (who knows if they tell this to all of their alumni, just joking :D) ; my physics and maths teachers believed I had a very obvious logical and mathematical thinking. Why I had to have skills that seem unrelated? The good thing is that I knew very well what I was really bad for. So I decided to study Graphic Design. In my mind this discipline would allow me to be creative while using a logical method, and I wasn't wrong. Of course my art teachers were not happy with my decision, neither my literature teacher or those who beleived I would "waste" my "talents". Nobody seemed happy. But who cares.
Today, I realize that if I had studied engineering I would wonder what would have happened if I had studied something related to the visual arts, but if I had studied visual arts I would probably be frustrated by the lack of structure of education. I decided the right thing. I simply love that technology is a big part of today's design world
Given the above, it should not be surprising that I feel attraction for technology, videogames, science, music, design, fitness, nutrition and health realted topics.
Anyway, I appreciate more my relationships and the moments I spend with the people I love, above all.
