Almudena Cid reappeared like a phoenix after what was the worst year of his life. The former artist and actress has also devoted herself to writing, and now she faces a new challenge by writing her first novel, Walking Without Toes. For this reason, he gave an interview to Cadena Ser. And it was there that he spoke in more detail about his emotions and feelings after the breakup of the marriage.

“I think I got over it, but for me personally it was a very difficult year, the worst of my life. The letter has served me as therapy, order me, put things in their place and much more. These are experiences that usually happen, they are common, but you also need to know how to overcome them. It affected me even in terms of physical condition because I lost a lot of kilos, I don’t want to see myself like this again. You have to eat, sleep and breathe,” she said, and the fact is that the process of writing helped her a lot.

Even though her life is calm now, it hasn’t been easy for her, so she added, “Things are calmer now, but the truth is, it was quite difficult.” In addition, he had to deal with the gossip that followed. “I never thought that I would see myself involved in this way, but you understand this because you are a public person and you also need to know how to deal with it,” he added. “I noticed that I had to grow up very quickly. but it is clear that this was the only way to overcome it. The end of my sports career coincided with the beginning of my life as a couple, and I had almost no experience and I wasn’t ready to handle this kind of situation“, explained.

Perhaps it was worse for her because she withdrew into herself, not expressing her feelings and not finding refuge in her surroundings. “I didn’t tell anyone about my problems, for example, so that my parents do not suffer for me. So there was a lot of confusion. I did this when I was playing sports, and then put it into practice in my personal life. In any case, you should make a good read, and I can say that I found myself through this experience,” she said.

In addition, everything was much more difficult for her, because her family was far away, since most live in Vitoria. “It was very hard for me, because that’s when you need to hug and hold you close.. I have received support from many people on the networks, for example. Lots of women, as well as a few men,” he added. “I felt a bit in no man’s land and wanted to return to my own land. Now I clearly understand that I will return to Vitoria to be with my people, with my family, with my friends. My parents are excited as well as my nephew Marco, who was born in the midst of this situation. It helped me a lot to have him in my arms. I want to see him evolve as a little man“, he said, so it is likely that he will move with his people to Alava.

It was a mistake for her to compare life situations with a sports career.so he said: “With effort in life, I have always achieved what I set myself as a goal in the world of sports: meniscus injuries, sciatica, exhaustion, but in the end, an Olympic place. marriage, I thought I was going to change something, but I’m not, and I don’t want to lose my essence, my being. There is a fable that says that a chicken and a pig they talk about opening a restaurant and making bacon and eggs. The chicken offers to carry eggs, and the pig offers bacon. But he does not understand that the chicken will remain normal and that it will be sacrificed. It happened to me and in this case I am a pig. You must know how to distinguish effort from sacrifice. In the effort that I made, my essence was leaving, ”he clarified.

despite the pain All this helped him change his lifestyle.That’s why she said, “I had to change, and I realized that the patterns had to be changed. I found myself devastated, broken, and realized that I needed to change my behavior in order to make a difference. My life has been blown. When someone is so disappointed, it is normal that you are not ready. I got bad grades in gymnastics, which made me angry, but in this case, in my personal life, I don’t think I even got grades. If I stayed anchored in why… I didn’t move forward. It wasn’t a custom-made sweater. I designed my jerseys when I competed, but in this case I was wrong.”

One of the most revealing words came when she said that Christian Galvez confused her and everyone around her: “I still idealized what I thought was this relationship. but I understand that it confused me and everyone around, it was like a bomb. Since I was always so strong and usually didn’t ask anyone for help, I was left a little alone with a delicate situation and obviously I was not ready for it. As if you are preparing a wedding and, not knowing why, the groom does not appear. And you stay there with all the gifts for the guests, without giving away. My only concern during these months was to get well.. I wore a dirty makeup bag for months and didn’t realize it, or three tracksuits in four months.”

he’s over it

“Fortunately, now I can talk about this topic, noting that I’m fine.. My family watches over me and sees me in good condition. The depression line is so tricky that you have to be careful because you can cross it. WITHand terrible options came to my mind. The pain of the other must be legitimized,” he reflected.
