My motivation and inspiration to start this book was the expression of several people who consistently asked me the same question. When I told them, they were curious to know my complete life story. It got to the point that I was uncomfortable repeating it constantly. My beginning to life was not normal or typical like a planned birth. It was interesting for people to hear about my life. It started with them asking me who I lived with and after this question, followed many more. What concluded this decision was the opinion of a priest who said to me, You should write a book.

I said to myself, Wow! That would be very interesting. And so I started looking for information about my own childhood since I was raised with my paternal family and I didn’t know who my maternal family is. I asked about my childhood and everything they told me I wrote down. This project started in 2008, written on paper, modified too many times, and finished in 2022.

When I started to write I remembered my childhood, I enjoyed it because on many occasions I cried tears of joy, but at the same time I also cried tears of sorrow. As a famous saying goes: to remember is to live. From time to time I wrote down what I remembered, not very often. I made too many drafts. I would start, get discouraged, then months and even years later I would continue. I told many acquaintances that I don’t like to read. When I started reading again, I didn’t know where I had left off. I spent most of my time at the university because I had many free hours between classes. I remember when they used to tell me, You are very mature for your age, and I thought, I must be old.

A Spanish professor, when evaluating my work, told me, Gladys, come here. I got scared and said to myself, Maybe I did a bad job.

When I got to her, she said, You have great writing skills.

I was very surprised. At that moment I became more motivated. I told her that I had started to write a book and she said, I am willing to help you edit it, and she referred me to a professor-writer, but unfortunately we could not coincide.

Life shows you two paths, good and evil, everyone chooses the one they want, so you succeed or fail. Even this one shows obstacles on the way, both for good and evil, but in reality is that to find happiness you have to be persistent and do good.

There are many people who stop when they feel the great wounds that reach the heart. It hurts so much that one believes that everything collapses and that the heart will burst with pain. At that instant most people set out to do the same, to hurt others. It is unfortunate that it happens, but more pain and even death are provoked since the damage caused comes back. In this situation, the recommended option is forgiveness and accepting mistakes, moving on. Taking into consideration each act in order not to commit it again, being astute, wise, and obtaining the triumphant word: maturity. So the act of crying is very good to heal the wounds that reach the heart. It is not good to hold on because when you hold on too much you burst into tears. You just think, "What am I doing wrong, did I make the wrong choice or did I do the wrong thing? If I am on the right path, why does this happen to me and not to the one
