happy days

are those in which you don't wonder about being happy
those in which
caught up in small great things
you loose yourself

promise

I will not deform any memory
and turn it into an inflated version of itself
I will not impose the present on the past
or the past on the future

I will not exhaust my own patience
but I will neither wait for ever

I will, though,
wait some more
with the peace of those who hope

exclusive

there's a type of loneliness
that is only felt
in the specificity of your absence

abstinence

in the light of an impossibility
like the one that prevents my words from being said
they create a world of their own inside
and hope to have the chance
one day
to be heard

the appropriate

there is no such measurement
in the arena of what is felt
that would determine whether
loving
or
missing
is right or wrong

those I've loved

as time goes by
the ones that I least expected
have taught me the hardest of all lessons:

that, like all myths,
justice
inhabits in the realm
of fairies, dragons and unicorns

russian dolls

for this journey
i bring with me a tiny baby
a curious child
and a young woman

the four of us
walk or run when needed
rest if we pause
converse and plan
discuss our positions

the baby has no memory
the child dreams and plays
the young woman wishes
I listen to them all

I carry them inside

about giving

there is a shelve
full of things that should have a label saying
"do not give these away"

because if you do give those
you can never replace them

but that shelve doesn't have that label

invisible woman

I may or may not be there
but you won't see me

like you have not seen me before

you won't see me
you don't see me

i may or not
feel or want things
but with my magical powers
they won't be in your way

as they haven't been before

i will fade in the background of your memories
with all the great life lessons I was instrumental for
like the "sugar in the milk"

you won't see me

like you didn't see me before

my heart

my heart speaks to me
from the depths of confusion
occupied
invaded

it speaks to me not asking much anymore
just some comfort
just some peace

my heart has no strength left to suffer
it just walks through pain
alone
quietly
tearlessly

my heart is no hero
just a survivor

again: truth

truth is
it just is

we are designed to mold it
bend it
hide it from our own selves
simply because most of the time
we just can't handle its gravity

but if we stand still for a moment
and quietly wait

it generally makes its way out

heroes

I need to gather a team of super-heroes, a sort of justice league
to protect me

fuerza

Un aparente déficit de lugares dónde encontrarla
produce una carencia de fuerza que permea los días
pasan indistintos
me veo incapaz de transformalos

search

humans are born with a specific amount of faith in their spirit

the search for something to put that faith in
then becomes the purpose of their lives

healing

empathy
is the most powerful medicine there is

seeing ourselves in the pain of others
feeling comfort in our capacity to listen
to help

reminds us that our problems are like the problems of others:
mostly in our minds

sense

i can't think of more distructive things than intolerance and moral extremism

ya pasó

fue tan precario tan poco tan malo fue tan oscuro fue tan injusto tan innecesario tan doloroso tan tóxico tan bajo anti-po...
