Hello, my dear reader…
I am Manuel Molina. Today, Monday, October 18th of 2021, in the early morning I have taken the initiative to start this safe and pleasant place for writing, to express what I feel, what I think, and how I see certain aspects of life.
I truly don’t know why I’m doing this just now, considering that writing has been in my plans for a long time. What’s important is that I’m doing it.
Perhaps reading my words might help someone and they could identify with everything I’m about to write, or maybe not. But I feel good about doing it.
I’d like to tell you a bit about myself to shorten that gap of mistrust that I’m about to break.
I’m Héctor, or Manu to some, and even Tetito to my family, a name I fondly remember, given to me many years ago by my grandmother Rosita.
I’m a man who loves to read a bit of everything: romance, fantasy, history, mystery, and of course, there’s no harm in reading a bit of sensual and mischievous literature… (Smut haha). Not forgetting that when reading a good book, a glass of wine is always by my side.
I love sports, and my favorite is volleyball. I have practiced it since I was a little boy, and I was always participating in tournaments at my school.
I’m someone who always speaks his mind, of course, in a proper and polite manner that doesn’t offend anyone, but most importantly, I’m an observer who analyzes everything and everyone.
I’ve always felt a strong connection with animals. I love horseback riding and feeling that sense of freedom as the wind rushes through my body, and I have loved with my entire soul all my childhood pets to these days.
I’m someone who constantly questions what life is. I have opinions about even the smallest details of something or someone, and I’m overly curious. Little by little, I’ll share with you how I feel, what my opinions are on different topics, and the conclusions I’ve reached about these, that particularly, aren’t widely discussed.
I was always that kid in school who asked very unusual questions to the teachers, the one who always raised their hand to share their thoughts about the problems of my country, El Salvador, or issues around the world, the one who got excited about debates in the classroom. I believe those were the reasons, I had a clear idea of what I wanted to be in life from a very young age…
My curiosity and eagerness to discuss aspects that don’t usually cross a child’s mind were so great back then. I wanted to know much more about those “taboo” topics, as some call them. It was a bit odd and challenging to try to learn more every time, and I can confirm that because I sometimes even frustrated my teachers and my own family.
From a very young age, I realized I was a bit or very different from other children… years later, now that I have a better grasp of consciousness, I believe the correct term would be very different.
“But why?” you might ask, and you’ll know that right away…
