A un paso de mí

What's the true meaning of inner peace?

Is it perhaps being successful in our projects?

Or is it overcoming a phase of pain?

Maybe it is to understand that every single second of life matters.

Yes, I know, it sounds cheesy, childish.

Fortunately, that's how it is.

There aren't bad moments. There are only moments.

And those moments define our future.

However, ten days ago I was feeling like there is no future at all…

But my life was about to change.

Is that all?

Tatiana? Is this all?

Yes, Mr. Juan Carlos. You know, I've had troubles finding resources about this topic.

No, Tatiana.

I'm sorry, but you got plenty of time to do this. I don't see anything good or clear on these papers.

Well Mr. Juan Carlos, I have been researching, trying to get more sources...

I don't want to talk just from my perspective. I don't want to reach just sources...

You are not being asked to do a microbiological study of the origin of life, Tatiana.

The topic is “Inner Peace”

It's really simple. Nothing complex.

You don't need many sources. Everything is here.

The thing I'm missing here is your personal branding.

We need five writings, we can't start like this.

Well, I know it is very personal. I haven't found arguments…

- I'm delayed, yes. - Alright.

How much time do you need?

- Twenty days, maybe. - Twenty days?

There are just five writings, you must upload a writing every two days.

We should have this entire blog finished in ten days.

At this speed, we are not going to achieve it.

Well, I thought I got the same time as Alex to finish it.

Do you know how many curriculums from journalists, we daily receive here?

Some of them maybe would have finished this by now.

Yes Sir, I know.

No, Tatiana. You don't know it.

If you would know that, I would have three writings at least by now.

Well, Mr. Juan Carlos, I'm sure you understand.

But, this is not as simple as it sounds. There are different approaches to this topic.

For example, we can talk about peace of mind, serenity, inner peace…

It is a social complex meaning, actually, it is a personal topic too.

Tati?

Are you listening to yourself?

Please listen to me carefully.

Isn't the content that worries me. Is the lack of your personal branding.

This thing I'm reading could be written by a student. A good one, to be honest. But it isn't enough.

Do you know what happened last week?

People are getting fired. Do you want to bring us into that situation?

No, of course not.

In the past, you proposed projects, ideas.

You used to finish your writings before the due date.

What happened Tati?

What is going on?

It has been a very difficult month.

I'm stressed.

Mr. Juan Carlos, I'm sorry, you should be the last person to know this.

I know.

We all go through these things.

But Tati… I must finish my duties. I must do my job.

I can't risk the results because you are not in the mood, or depressed. I just can't.

Ten days.

You'll have the entire blog in ten days.

I don't want to be the villain of this story.

This is my offer.

You will go to your home. You'll focus on this blog.

And you're going to send over the writings.

That said.

I want to feel your personal branding.

I want to listen to you. I want to read your DNA.

I know how you feel about your father's death.

But, life goes on.

Ten days.

Focus on experiences.

Make a map of content. But please, take a look of the tools people use to be happy.

But the most important thing…

Be yourself. That's the ingredient I need.

I don't know where it is.

Then find it. Please do it.

Because.

This is not you.

Spit it out.

What?

Marisol must upload that today. On social networks of course.

Well, someone else please take that role, just take the damn computer.

What are you telling me? Can't you do your job? I can't solve everyone's troubles, come on Lorena.

That's your responsibility.

Alright, then let's fire her. I don't care…

Hi daughter, the plane just landed. Let's talk tomorrow -

- Alright mom, good luck with the shopping. -

Please stop calling me, Alonso.

No, Alonso. I already told you.

Are you listening to yourself?

Is it my fault, then?

Despite ruining everything, now you want me to get fired.

I'm almost there!

What an asshole!

I can't believe he talks to you like you were the one who failed.

But.

The important thing is that you told him to stop calling you.

Rachel!

When everything got so bad?

This is life. I hate when it happens.

Is really weird.

Like nothing makes sense.

For some time now, nothing works for me.

First, my dad.

My mom is not even in the country.

Now, Alonso.

My job.

I'm very stressed about my job.

I don't get promoted.

Now they ask me to write a blog about inner peace.

Inner peace? Seriously?

Do you remember Marcela?

So much I criticized her. Now I am worse.

Don't compare to her.

You have your life in front of you. You're just stressed.

I mean, you can feel sad.

I know your dad was a very special person and that makes you feel bad.

But it's been over a year.

What have you done to move on?

Alonso? Let's not talk! He's an asshole.

You are a beautiful professional intelligent girl.

He is a jerk!

You can go out to exercise, go to eat, go to the movies.

To the movies?

By myself?

Isn't just that!

I can't do those things alone!

I used to do everything with Alonso. With daddy. Even with you.

For how long we haven't hung out the two of us?

I know you're very busy, believe me, I know.

But I can't do those things just by myself.

You've always needed someone to do things with.

You have to learn to do things by yourself.

Without depending on anyone else.

I really would like to spend more time with you. But my mom needs me, and I have to work too.

No. I'm sorry Raquel. What a baby!

Why don't you spend this time doing things you've never done before?

- You are home working, that's amazing. - Have you lost your mind?

I shouldn't be home working.

- What am I supposed to do here all day? - You're confused!

You need time for yourself.

Without thinking about Alonso and nobody else.

You can go to the beach, to different places, get some air.

Rachel? Seriously!

What is going on with you?

I can't go anywhere, I must finish the blog in less than a week.

And how is that going?

I've seen you writing over 30 pages in less than a day.

You perfectly can go to the beach, get some rest, and then you just write it in one day.

- I don't even have a car. - You can rent one.

I'll be back.

You should eat something.

Tati, everything is going to be alright.

Rachel, I can't go right now to any place.

And I never thought we could be friends, and look at all the years we have been.

I'm going to prepare the food.

So, I proposed some ideas, very crazy, my mind was exploiting.

I was inspired.

I calmed down and I presented to them. I was nervous.

One of the CEOs was there, but I was prepared.

Then, he asked me how we would save money, especially with all the taxes and expenses, you know...

So, I breathed for a bit. And I explained to him.

So?

Well...

You, my children, are looking at the youngest and handsome manager of the company.

Thank you very much!

- Congratulations! - Great news!

- That's really good! Ah? - I think so! You as always!

Alright, so now…

How did this thing happen?

I was at the Pet Shop.

And, there it was this cute cat.

Suddenly it said “daddy”

You know Nati loves cats.

She has one actually.

Obviously, I adopted it.

Instead of the plate of the necklace, I replaced it with the ring.

I knocked on the door, she opened it…

And she fell in love with the cat.

But she didn't notice the ring. So, she held the cat like the “Lion King”...

So, she noticed the ring, I knelt down.

And, I proposed.

Look, girls!

It was amazing, I held the cat. It was really romantic because I didn't notice the ring first.

Franco was on his knees, and I said “Yes”... Then I cried.

Rockstar!

It was the best thing ever.

- Guys get a room! - Stop!

- What happens? - Where is the cat?

Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday dear Franco! Happy birthday to you!

Congratulations, Franco!

So. Who is going to watch the game with me?

What the hell is with the national team? Always the same players.

Don't talk about it, because you're going to be the first one at the game.

- She has some pants! - Well, she's right.

I'm patriotic, I love to sing the National anthem at the game.

Come on, dude! Didn't you check the list of the players?

I don't care who they called. Alright, I don't like the players but…
