The emotional nude of Luján Argüelles: "The worst thing is to live dying inside"

"To overcome my anorexia I had to study how to stop being angry with the world, how to get out of that prison that was my own body to turn my energies to other goals."

Known for her television facet,

reveals this and other confessions of hers in her book

(La Esfera de los Libros).

She also recounts the moment when she discovered that she had spent 40 years trying to become someone she was not, pouring her passion and willpower into becoming what everyone expected of her.

.

40 years building what in a few months completely fell apart.

Between broken relationships, a languishing career, a sinking economy: "The first goal in the pandemic summer of 2020 was to stop feeling sorry for myself and find a new source of income. Unemployment had left me in the financial ICU, even more so after having settled accounts with the Treasury. I was also one of those well-known characters that Minister Montoro persecuted to set an example," he reveals.

She also says that her triumphant exterior did not coincide with her insecure and sad interior.

And it is that for her it was key to learn that happiness depends on a choice:

.

That was the reality that pushed her to get rid of fear, overcome cowardice, conquer serenity and start from scratch.

"Relearning to live is the most difficult task I've ever faced and the most painful, because you start down the path realizing that you've been wrong for years," confesses the Asturian.

"That is the reason why I set out to write this book -he argues-. I want to share the feeling of waking up, of realizing that reality is what you decide it to be. That

. Of course, I would have preferred to reach this conclusion much sooner and in a less stormy way. However, neither my circumstances made it easy for me, nor did my character allow it, nor did I find a guide that would make me see that each day I was dying a bit. Now I can admit that I am a proud self-taught person".

Because it was living in a small town with social rules that suffocated her.

She was terrible to face an anorexia that mistreated her in body and spirit.

It is very hard to make a hole in communication

, and it is distressing to see that what has been sown for so long, also in love, becomes detachment and undermining.

For this reason, in the pages of his book, emotional, funny and hard at times, Luján Argüelles shares the lessons that have brought him back to life.

Because "the worst thing is to live dying inside, but the wonderful thing is when you start to wake up".
