About a month ago, a documentary series came out on Netflix about a case that I didn't know about called El Crimen de la Guardia Urbana, a case of malicious murder that is quite well known in Spain. I watched the series because I was curious, watching this case left me speechless. This case is about a woman who was a police officer who, together with her lover, killed her husband. After killing him, they put him in the trunk of the car and set him on fire in a swamp. When you watch the trials, you can see that the woman tries to convince that she was guilty of the murder with treachery, but in the series, you see how she was the one who started the murder and how her lover helped her get rid of it. The videos of the trial only demonstrate how both defendants do not show a minimum of empathy, Albert (the lover) showed a little regret, but Rosa (wife of the murdered man) only emphasizes that she is not guilty and that it is Albert's fault, although With the lack of empathy, you can see that it is quite the opposite.

Nowadays social networks are very present in our lives.

Nowadays, many teenagers are self-conscious thanks to perfect influencers, since they don't have acne, they have a perfect smile, a perfect body, but none of that is real, everyone nowadays puts on thousands of filters to cover those imperfections. . I believe that we should start living more in reality and accept ourselves as we are, no more using filters to hide ourselves, influencers should be the first to stop hiding and love each other as they are, thus many young people who follow them will leave them. insecurities and complexes.

The boy, instead of keeping the letter and reading it alone, decided to do it in front of all his friends. When they saw the drawing, they knew that the letter could be mine. Instead of the boy coming and telling me something about that letter, he decided to tell all his friends in the area. high school who were laughing at me all that year.

Today society has changed a lot.

The truth is that today teenagers have changed a lot, this is also due to the internet and the people who take them as an example to follow, because if an influencer tells them that vaping is the best, teenagers are going to do it. . case because they are their examples to follow. For example, when I was a teenager, I would meet up to play hide-and-seek with my friends in the city, but now they meet in a garage smoking and drinking energy drinks. Girls now worry a lot about their clothes and wearing super makeup to please the boy they like. The truth is that the adolescence of before is not even half like that of now, in which if you don't smoke, you don't go out to party or have a boyfriend, you are either bitter or a child. I think we should tell our teenagers that you are not better or worse for following the trends that some follow and that each one should be themselves and not be guided/influenced by what others say.

23. A belief you have or used to have.

1/11/23    Start:10:45   Finished: 11:00

A belief that I used to have regarding love was that boys should always be after girls, but my thinking changed when I realized that it doesn't have to be that way. For example, why can't a girl ask a boy out on a date? There is nothing wrong with the girl sometimes having the initiative, this way she shows the boy that she is also interested in him. In addition, there are boys who are too shy and no matter how much they like a girl, they do not dare to talk to her or ask her. To go out, I think it's good for both to have initiative, since a couple is a matter of two and if only one person has initiative, what's the point of being a couple?
