Time to boast
I had forgotten to tell some of you that one of my works got selected on a contest.In case I had told you already, you might want to ignore this post 
Doesn’t mean I won the contest (still don’t know the results), but I’m a finalist. I always hoped people would like my submission because I put a LOT of effort on it. Didn’t try to keep my hopes high because–I hate to say this– I’m still qute insecure. Had never participated on a contest and now it seems I’ll be more confident after this 
Feels good to be selected among thousands of submissions from 76 countries (there are 200 finalists or so). Even if I didn’t win, I made it to a good place, my work will be on exhibition and people can buy prints at the Mexican Museum of Design. I won’t see a cent out of it, but it means status.
I’m really happy for two friends of mine and another colleague because they got selected as well. Hope that at least one of us win something else…. and it’d better be me!

Congratulations. I am sure you would do well, and this is the start of a hopeful successful path in your future.
