Hi, as promised, a vlog. It's not the first time that I tell you guys that I get inspired by other people snaps. Snappy is my go-to now. And I saved a snap, and I even reply to the person that I would... do this in video because the answer to the question deserved a video. Because it's a very emotional question, and sometimes writing doesn't give the emotion it deserves, unless you write novels and all, and I'm not that type of writer, I think, I don't. I'll be sharing the snap below and mention the person. I don't want to butcher the username or the name, if it is the name, but I'll read it to you. Where's the snap? There you go. This was two days ago. Better late than ever. Excuse me. I'm surprised how some people could remember a lot of what happened during their childhood. I struggle to remember a few, really. By the way, a thought came to me wondering if my younger self ever imagined my oldest self as I am today. So the question to you now is, if your younger self could see your life today, what would surprise them most? As I get older, one of the signs of getting older is when you start to remember even more things in the past. I remember part of my childhood. Childhood wasn't that bad. I have a good family, until even today, but I was one of those big girls. getting bullied by my size, by my weight, and that broke my self-esteem a lot. And I got, I used food as a comfort. I won't be the first, won't be the last. And I... and I lost some weight, that's a good accomplishment, that she, her younger self, would be very proud. And she would be very proud, even my younger self a year ago, would be very proud of this Ileana today in 19 of August of 26. Because even on the last year I accomplished so much. And that's the thing. We accomplish so much through the years. And yeah, our self-esteem is so broken sometimes that we don't recognize, we don't acknowledge enough the things that we do. We always want to achieve another thing and go and go and go. We need to stop. and pat ourselves more often. Losing weight was one of the things that she would be proud. Not losing weight, I gained weight on the last year. I lost 30 kilos and gained 10 back, so I'm on 20 kilos lost away as possible. But being on a gym, for example, in a consistent way. I started in October, three times a week, now I do it every day. That's another accomplishment. Getting back to sports, I loved sports back then so much in school, I didn't do more because I was afraid because of my size. I didn't, I never did. a handstand, for example, even yesterday I did the handstand with this. It takes practice, it takes time, like everything that you want to accomplish, takes time and practice, even vlogging like so in a more comfortable way that I, today I'm more comfortable doing videos than to write. Go figure. But it took me time and practice, and my younger self would be proud. And there are so many things. My two dreams came through the years. One of my adolescence dreams was visit Florence, and I visited in 2017. And another dream on the same year was being a mom. I found out I was pregnant after the trip to Italy, Florence, in that case. It was my dream city to visit. And one of the things that in my childhood, Adolence says, was finding love. And I did, I've been with my husband for 20 plus years. So that's another accomplishment. Anyway, I could go on, but I don't want this video to be too long, because I ramble. You know me, probably a few know me about my rambles. And I think I'llianna would be proud of the things she accomplished. Even, especially here on Hive, I grew so much with Hive. That's why I always come, I always come back to Hive because I built a lot of confidence with Hive, with the people, with you guys, and the community that we built here. So, keep Hive alive, keep yourselves alive, and even small victories deserve to be celebrated. Be grateful for what you have now, but also for what you do. It's a bit of cliche, but clichés need to be celebrated as well. Love you all.
