If you were to die tomorrow what will be your final wish?

It is true that advertising conditions people's behaviour, but it did not happen that way in our case. One night you go to an Italian restaurant and they have 10 pizza on the menu and you choose one, for example, with anchovies. That decision is not conditioned by advertising, but by the offer. In the restaurant in that faraway country it was the same thing, but we chose the spider because it was much more repulsive than ants or worms, which were also on the menu. It all started as a joke between my sister and I, which turned into a challenge, and when you have the audacity to order the spiders and they serve them to you, we challenge each other. We ended up in a draw, as the bet had no winner as my sister and I ate the spiders whole. The whole restaurant was silent and looked at us and when we finished our dinner, which included other more normal dishes, the owner of the restaurant wanted a photograph with my sister and me, because he told us that we were the first girls in Europe to eat a whole spider in his restaurant. A lot of people's experiences people want to have them because advertising forces them to have them, but with spiders it was a gamble.

 

To answer that question I would have to make an introduction and an explanation, because the answer to your question is yes and no enjoyment.

When our parents died my sister sank into a deep depression with thoughts that caused me to panic. I always refused to let her go into hospital and fill her -body with drugs morning, noon and night. Our doctor, a childhood friend of our father's, advised me to travel so that my sister could get out of the daily environment, have her under control 24 hours a day and, at the same time, live new experiences. That day I enjoyed eating the spider very much because I could see that, even if it was only for that moment, my sister left her thoughts behind, focused only on getting over the taste of the spider, on matching me as she saw me eating the spider and smiled at the situation. It was the second time I had seen her smile in months, the first being in Australia while hugging a koala. Because of these circumstances, yes, I really enjoyed eating spiders.

It is not pleasant to eat a spider, the legs are crunchy, it has hair and is shaped like a spider, you see the spider on your plate it looks like it is alive and you think it will be in your mouth and my sister and I hate spiders. The owner of the restaurant offered us sauces, to make the experience more enjoyable, but my sister and I declined, a bet should be without disguising the challenge at all. The owner also told us that some people say it tastes like prawns and others like chicken. It is a lie, the spider tastes like a spider. Because of these circumstances, I don't enjoy eating spider at all. But it is also true that a certain liquor helped us to overcome the situation. I would never eat spider again.

 

I am a believer, I believe in the Christian God, but it is not important if you are an atheist and I am a believer. People are more important than a religion or a language. I have good atheist friends, a very important person in my sister's life and in mine is Estrella de Mar and I also met her on pages like this one and she is an atheist. At that time the catholic religion also helped a lot, I always told my sister that our parents were with God and were very happy, but they would not be happy if my sister arrived before their time with them and that it would be on her conscience that our parents would not be happy not only for a while, but for eternity because of her. Eventually she confessed to me that this phrase had helped her a lot, because when she had strange ideas she would reflect on this phrase. Now my sister is perfect, she enjoys her work, her friends and our love and another of her great loves, skiing, and when I see her smile it relaxes me a lot, because I know that her smile is only the outward form of her happiness.

 

Nothing guarantees maturity in a person, neither age nor experience. Everyone says that age gives you maturity because of everything you experience in those years, but that's not true either. The experiences you have are not automatically maturity either. It would be responsibility. When unexpectedly and suddenly, without any prologue or warning in time for you to prepare yourself, your responsibility is no longer what to wear on a Saturday with friends or what colour you want for your car, but being responsible for a house, for our parents' company and, most importantly, for my sister's life, although you have the support of the family, you have to personally decide hundreds of small decisions every day that you ignored before and the only method is right and wrong, that's how you assume your responsibility as an older sister without parents. Now everything is different, my sister is my support and I am hers, she is also responsible for many daily decisions and this makes life much more pleasant, because her smile and her joy take me away from the loneliness of responsibilities.The maturity that comes with responsibility gives you serenity. You learn to live with serenity, because you understand what is really important in life. That is the most important thing I have learned, to learn what is important and to face problems with serenity. Maturity is serenity.
