Lou Reed’s recent death made me listen to some of his most famous songs, including, of course, “Walk on the wild side”. This song got me thinking about the decisions I had taken in my life.
Since we decided to start “Mas Por Ellos”, I can´t stop thinking about the life-changing decision we took in Alvaro’s terrace while having some beers. That decision was our own walk on the wild side. When we started this project we couldn’t help but feel the anxiety and excitement of those who face the uncertain of taking their first steps. Now our project has started to bear fruit and day by day we continue developing “Mas Por Ellos”.
Every now in a while I think it is worthwhile to look back and assess the path we have walked, the decisions we’ve taken. At the end of the day, those decisions lead us to where we are today. The decision to start “Mas Por Ellos” was a decision to walk on the wild side. The walk on the wild side that will enable us to achieve our dreams.
When I look back on the steps we have taken, I feel proud of the effort done by each and every member of the group; the intense debates, the discussions, the all-nighters, the time stolen from friends, families and boy/girlfriends. But above all, I value the work done by others. Others that decided to start their own walk on the wild side and can proudly look back on their path and see their impact along the way.
“Mas Por Ellos” is just starting to develop but we are lucky to be building our own walk on the wild side. This walk will lead us to complicated places and situations but it will also set us free. We will enjoy every step of our journey, a journey which we can truly call our own.
I believe that in life we should all step out of our comfort zone and take a walk on the wild side. We took that decision some months ago and we can now say without any doubt, it was the best decision. In the world there are many paths that lead to amazing places, but they are all overcrowded. What’s really interesting is the journey itself. It’s the journey that’s going to determine how much you value the end.
This February “Mas Por Ellos” decided to start its own walk on the wild side.
Taking advantage of my tribute to Lou Reed, I invite you to take your own walk on the wild side, because what really matters is the journey.
