About your letter of Fifty Shades:

I must tell you something! The movie it’s totally different, so if you didn’t read the books I think is so disrepecful to say your opinion based on a simple movie, most of the people that read the books didn’t like the movie. I don’t want you to think that I’m a woman with lack of personality just because I loved the story, because believe me when I tell you I don’t and I can swear to you that if there’s something I know I won’t EVER allow a man to do is disrespect me, no matter how (cheating, beating me, anyway), and my daughter (if God bless me with that miracle) will only learn from me how to be an empowered woman who doesn’t need a man for anything but to have a lover, a partner, a best friend. I’m totally not that kind of woman that would stay with someone who doesn’t value me. I wouldn’t be with a man like Christian Grey but not because I think he’s a bad man, ’cause IF YOU READ THE BOOKS, you would see he’s a just the result of a sad beggining of life, and yes I admit s o m e t i m e s Anastasia let him appear whenever he wants, but IF YOU READ THE BOOKS you would see how she doesn’t answer his calls or mails because she thinks she doesn’t have to be protected 24/7 I don’t say she’s perfect, but she’s not so different from most of the womans of your generation or your mother generation, I don’t know you but if you have kids and are or have been married I know at least once you have let a man do something you don’t like or something everybody would say is wrong (and I’m not talking only about sexual things) because of your kids, or because you are not in the mood to argue, whatever. That’s a relationship, SACRIFICE, Christian even tell her I’M NOT THE MAN FOR YOU, it’s like someday you meet a player and you instantly want to be with him no matter what your best friend tell you, or you don’t want to be with him but he says he will change and you give him a chance; some change and others not. But she agree with him and his conditions, she stays because SHE WANTS TO, and when he hurt her, SHE LEFT. When he realized his “problem” wouldn’t let they enjoy their relationship, their LOVE, he decided to leave that lifestyle, he made that sacrifice and changed something that was a part of him because he understood the meaning of love, he loved her. This story has a lot of parts with love, you just have to read it, it’s not the best example of a love story, but it is a love story. If there’s something I’ll teach to my children is the importance of reading and having strong arguments, because I’ve learned the only thing people can’t take from you is your knowledge, So I don’t think your letter is okay, and I invite you to read the books even if you don’t like it so you can freely talk about the story, cause actually, you just have seen a deficient movie.

Señorita michelle gracias por haberme enseñado algo muy importante en el pasado.
aunque ud no me crea, hace tiempo yo tuve un sueño en el que estaba caminando alrrededor de un laberinto con paredes grises y escuchaba la voz de una mujer hablando del verdadero amor. se que sonara raro y no quiero que piense que me estoy burlando; pero desde pequena eh sido capaz de ver o escuchar cosas del futuro a largo plazo en mis sueños, y quedan almacenados en mi inconciente hasta que suceden. no se exactamente por que. pero hace 10 min. lo recorde leyendo una de sus cartas “A Letter to My Children About Fifty Shades of Grey” y realmente estoy muy agradecida con ud. por haberme ayudado hace un par de años y queria que lo supiera. Muchas Gracias
