Dreamers: Enol López
Dreamers: Enol López and the art of looking with the heart once again
Enol López’s story is not just about a physical loss. It speaks of something much more common and, often, invisible: the impact of relationships that nullify and extinguish those who live through them. With admirable bravery, Enol summarizes it with a touch of irony: “I always say that I went blind from love. And not just personally, but literally as well.”
Behind that phrase lies a long process of reconstruction. For a long time, he lived with guilt and fear, feeling that he had failed by not knowing how to protect himself. However, that breaking point became an opportunity to learn to look at himself with less judgment and much more honesty.
Self-care is also learning to set boundaries
Over time, Enol discovered that true strength lies not in enduring until you break, but in knowing when to stop and ask for help. Naming the pain was the first step in his transformation. Today, his philosophy is clear: not to hide or live for the gaze of others. “If you don’t like it, don’t look at me,” he says with the confidence of someone who has regained their center.
On this journey back to himself, ILUNION Hotels has been much more than a workplace; it has been a space of calm and trust. Here, Enol doesn’t have to prove anything—he can simply be himself. In his daily work in the dining room, he finds a deep purpose: caring for guests so they feel heard and at home.
A future built on peace of mind
For Enol, success is no longer measured by grand goals, but by stability and continuing to grow without losing himself along the way. His testimony is a vital reminder that setting boundaries is not selfishness.
