Sintonía

Cierra los ojos, quiero llevarte al interior, al espacio más recóndito y poco habitado de tu ser, donde las palabras carecen de necesidad y donde los sentidos encuentran su mayor regocijo. 

Pensamiento corto #6

Es darse, y no dar, lo que marca la diferencia.

Becoming yourself

Everyone who comes in our way is there for an specific reason, every person and/or situation acts like northern stars to guide us where we need to be and who we shall become. 

Here and now, you are the product of each decision that you've made and everyone who has walked a way of the road with you.

Nocturna

La luciérnaga de la noche brinda, con tan sólo un destello, la certeza de que sigue presente. Se esconde rápidamente tras las invisibles nubes y se hacen presentes éstas a cambio.

Despertar

La brisa pasa por mi cabello y le invita a danzar y ser joven, sin saber que al hacerlo le devuelve la vida.

Pensamiento corto #5

A la gente se le olvida en el camino que lo que busca desde el principio es la felicidad.

The Wonder Years quotes

"It's not about forcing happiness, it's about not letting sadness win".

"Growing up is never easy. You hold on to things that were. You wonder what's to come. But that night, I think we knew it was time to let go of what had been, and look ahead to what would be. Other days. New days. Days to come. The thing is, we didn't have to hate each other for getting older. We just had to forgive ourselves... for growing up".

"After all, if growing up is war, then the friends who grew up with you deserve a special respect. The ones who stuck by you shoulder to shoulder, in a time when nothing was certain, all life lay ahead, and every road led home".

"Sometimes to keep growing together, you have to grow apart. If you're lucky you can get a second chance with the one you love. Sometimes luck isn't enough. Love can kill you… It can tear you apart. But it can bring you back together".

"Things in life can get lost without any certainty of finding them again".

"I'd taken something most people never have and thrown it away for something less. I'd been so busy trying to impress the people that didn't really matter and I'd torn apart the only ones that did...us".

"Every war has its casualties, and every victory its price. But life goes on".

"Every kid needs a hero - everybody knows that. They teach us about courage, about ideals about life. Sometimes heroes are easy to spot. But sometimes they turn up in unlikely places."

"All our young lives we search for someone to love. Someone who makes us complete. We choose partners and change partners. We dance to a song of heartbreak and hope... all the while wondering if somewhere, somehow, there's someone perfect... who might be searching for us."

"I'm not sure how I did it. My memory begins with the crack of the bat, and the sight of the ball rising. Maybe that's not exactly the way it happened. But that's the way it should have happened, and that's the way I like to remember it. And if dreams and memories sometimes get confused well... that's as it should be. Because every kid deserves to be a hero... every kid already is."

"Teachers never die. They live in your memory forever. They were there when you arrived, they were there when you left. Like fixtures. Once in a while they taught you something. But not that often. And, you never really knew them, any more than they knew you. Still, for awhile, you believed in them. And, if you were lucky, maybe there was one who believed in you."

"You start out life with a clean slate. Then you begin to make your mark. You face decisions, make choices. You keep moving forward. But sooner or later there comes a time where you look back over where you have been... and wonder who you really are."

"When you're a kid, it's simple. Christmas is magic. It's a time of miracles, when reindeer can fly, and Frosty never melts. Then you get older. Somehow, things change. The magic begins to fade. Until something happens that reminds you, at Christmas time... miracles still can be found. Sometimes in the most unexpected places."

"Over the course of the average lifetime you meet a lot of people. Some of them stick with you through thick and thin. Some weave their way through your life and disappear forever. But once in a while someone comes along who earns a permanent place in your heart."

"We took our time. There was no need to hurry. Didn't seem there was that much to go back to. Still, that night, driving home through the neighborhood I grew up in, I realized something. There was a time I knew every family on the block. Their kids, names of their dogs, but most of those families were gone now. Scattered. The ones who stayed were not the same. The world had moved on. My world... their world. And only the lights remained the same."

"But the thing is, that was all we did. Maybe it was happening too fast. Maybe we wanted to hold on to what we had. Or maybe we both knew there were other things we had to find before we found each other. All we really knew for sure was, as we sat there, looking out over the lights of the town where we had grown up together, it all felt right. It all felt...perfect."

"When you're a little kid you're a bit of everything; Scientist, Philosopher, Artist. Sometimes it seems like growing up is giving these things up one at a time".

"Love is never simple. Not for fathers and sons. We spend our lives full of hope and expectations. And most of the time we are bound to fail. But that afternoon as I watched my father sheltering his son against a future that was so unsure, all I knew was they didn’t want to let each other down anymore".

"In 7th grade, who you are is what other 7th graders say you are. The funny thing is it’s hard to remember the names of the kids you spent so much time trying to impress".

"And so it finally happened. My poor, twelve-year-old heart finally crumbled into a little pile of dust and blew away. It was over. I was never going to get her back. It was time for a little self-respect. It was time to let go. Time to move on."

"Love can tear you apart, it can kill you. But if you're lucky, it can put you back together."

"And it was then I realized that I was only a part of the past, so there was nothing I could do but go. Except I didn't. . . I couldn't. "

Entre un trimestre y otro

La foto lo describe todo. Durante el trimestre esto no es más que un blog abandonado. Las clases me mantienen más que ocupada pero por corto tiempo intento hacerme sentir un poco.

Cast Away

Chuck Noland: We both had done the math. Kelly added it all up and... knew she had to let me go. I added it up, and knew that I had... lost her. 'cos I was never gonna get off that island. I was gonna die there, totally alone. I was gonna get sick, or get injured or something. The only choice I had, the only thing I could control was when, and how, and where it was going to happen. So... I made a rope and I went up to the summit, to hang myself. I had to test it, you know? Of course. You know me. And the weight of the log, snapped the limb of the tree, so I-I - , I couldn't even kill myself the way I wanted to. I had power over *nothing*. And that's when this feeling came over me like a warm blanket. I knew, somehow, that I had to stay alive. Somehow. I had to keep breathing. Even though there was no reason to hope. And all my logic said that I would never see this place again. So that's what I did. I stayed alive. I kept breathing. And one day my logic was proven all wrong because the tide came in, and gave me a sail. And now, here I am. I'm back. In Memphis, talking to you. I have ice in my glass... And I've lost her all over again. I'm so sad that I don't have Kelly. But I'm so grateful that she was with me on that island. And I know what I have to do now. I gotta keep breathing. Because tomorrow the sun will rise. Who knows what the tide could bring?

Reflection-Mulan

Look at me 

You may think you see who I really am 

But you'll never know me 

Every day 

It's as if I play a part 

Now I see 

If I wear a mask 

I can fool the world 

But I cannot fool my heart 

Who is that girl I see 

Staring straight back at me? 

When will my reflection show 

Who I am inside? 

I am now 

In a world where I 

Have to hide my heart 

And what I believe in 

But somehow 

I will show the world 

What's inside my heart 

And be loved for who I am 

Who is that girl I see 

Staring straight back at me? 

Why is my reflection 

Someone I don't know? 

Must I pretend that I'm 

Someone else for all time? 

When will my reflection show 

Who I am inside? 

There's a heart that must be 

Free to fly 

That burns with a need to know 

The reason why 

Why must we all conceal 

What we think, how we feel? 

Must there be a secret me 

I'm forced to hide? 

I won't pretend that I'm 

Someone else for all time 

When will my reflection show 

Who I am inside?

Midnight

Sometimes I wonder what happens to the brain after midnight. It’s like it decides it doesn’t want you to sleep, and does the greatest effort so you don’t. I find it amazing because all the good conversation topics that you’ve looking for all day come to your mind at this time, when you’re exhausted.

All my favorite conversations have taken place in this time and, even though my body resented it on the morning, it was worth it. 

For me, 12am has it's magic.

“The things you own end up owning you”. -Fight Club

Shawshank Redemption quotes

“Some birds aren't meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright. And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up does rejoice. But still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty that they're gone. I guess I just miss my friend".

“I have no idea to this day what those two Italian ladies were singing about. Truth is, I don't wanna know. Sometthings are best left unsaid. I'd like to think they were singing about something so beautiful it can't be expressed in words, and it makes your heart ache because of it. I tell you those voices soared, higher and farther than anybody in a grey place dares to dream. It was like some beautiful bird flapped into our drab little cage and made these walls dissolve away, and for the briefest of moments, every last man in Shawshank felt free”.

“Fear can hold you prisoner… Hope can set you free”.

“Everybody's afraid of something. That's how we know we care about things… when we're scared to lose them”.

Pensamiento corto #3

Siempre está esa gente que quiere venir a tapar el sol con un dedo, y esas otras que se lo permiten.

Pensamiento corto #2

Algunas personas deberían aprender a lidiar con la consecuencia de sus actos. Es el mínimo requerimiento luego de meter la pata.

Pensamiento corto #1

Es fácil decirle al otro que sólo hace las cosas para llamar la atención, cuando fuiste tú que la cagó en un principio.

De esas cosas que pasan (o que me pasan)

Imaginar toda una conversación de importancia con alguien. Crear el escenario perfecto, idear cómo introducir el tema y elegir las palabras correctas para ser comprendido lo mejor posible. “Sí, eso es, así le diré todo lo que tengo pendiente. Todo saldrá bien”.

Al llegar el momento que has estado esperando, transpiras. Te convences de que ya es tiempo de hablar, y entonces, tu memoria de defrauda. Como siempre que la necesitas. Cuando decide volver en sí, todo lo que ideaste anteriormente ahora no tiene sentido. No cuadra.

La perfección de la situación creada debió haber sido producto de tu imaginación y el cerebro simplemente se dio la tarea de jugarte una broma y lo logró.

Entonces te alejas, abandonas el plan igual que como la valentía te abandonó a ti. Y decides que, al fin y al cabo, no era tan importante el asunto.

La ducha

No entiendo qué tiene el agua  que nos hace pensar claramente. La ducha es ese lugar donde tienes las lluvias de ideas más importantes de tu vida. Ahí mismo, cuando estás todo mojado y no puedes tomar papel y lápiz.

El asunto es que cuando entras a bañarte, todo lo que has querido pensar o decir llega a ti, sin pedirlo siquiera, para ser olvidado cuando terminas. Cualquier pensamiento que hayas tenido se escapa por el drenaje, como si el agua te haya hecho un préstamo y lo hayas tenido que pagar en seguida, al cerrar la llave.

Comienzo a pensar que cuando terminas, otra persona por su lado abre la suya, y la habilidad de pensar, meditar y comprender todo con claridad se le es concedida al otro y para ti desvanece.

Así que cualquier respuesta que te brinde un buen baño, por más grande que sea (como la cura del sida o el significado de la vida), despídela tranquilo, porque no volverá.

En cuanto a la tina, parece ser un poco más condescendiente. Si no me creen, pregúntenle a Arquímedes.

About passion and writing and such

Nothing can give you more satisfaction than being passionate about something.

Everyone should have a passion, that thing that makes everything else make sense. That makes life have sense.

I can call myself lucky for having it, but if you’re looking for one, why not in any little thing in life? Experiencing what life has to offer you.

And that’s where writing comes in, by being one of those things life is offering me, and I’ll take it.

I want to develop passion for writing, one that burns my soul and flows through my body, slipping thoughts from my mind and falling gently into words through my fingers, and then, to its final destination: your eyes.

What about you, what new things is life offering you?

Nebulosa

“Las nebulosas son cúmulos de gases y polvos en el espacio, que tienen una importancia cosmológica notable porque se consideran los lugares donde nacen los sistemas solares similares al nuestro. Pueden hacerse visibles si se encuentran en las proximidades de estrellas, o bien permanecer completamente envueltas en la oscuridad del espacio.

En el primer caso, una nebulosa puede brillar o bien porque refleja la luz de estrellas cercanas (nebulosa de reflexión), o bien porque emite ella misma radiaciones (nebulosa de emisión)”.
