Hey my loves… I’ll be taking a break from blogging for indefinite time. Having you in my life last year has been great, but now I’m using it as an excuse not to deal with a lot of things that need sorting out in my life at the moment. It’s hurting me, it’s hurting others. It has to stop.

Whenever my cell rings my automatic reaction is: what now… Whenever I see a (1) on the gmail tab I think: hope it’s spam…
Responsibility is a sort of dull ache that jams your eyes from the inside. And for some reason, I seem to be a sponge for long, tedious work no one else wants to do.
I resent the impetuous, the ones who make the messes for people like me to clean up.

“Our subjective outrage at the facts of violence – a suicide bombing, a terrorist attack, the assassination of a political figure – blinds us to the objective violence of the world, a violence where we are perpetrators and not just innocent bystanders. All we see are apparently inexplicable acts that disturb the supposed peace of everyday life. We consistently overlook the...

Orgullo y prejuicio
amordeporcelana:
¿No les ha pasado de emitir juicios de valor hacia otras personas? ¿No les ha pasado de crear imágenes desproporcionadas en sus mentes para luego comprender que estaban absolutamente equivocados? ¿No les ha pasado de sentirse observados, perseguidos, juzgados? Juicios. Prejuicios. Miradas cargadas de insulsa severidad. A veces me pregunto por qué el ser humano tiene la asquerosa...

‘La paradoja de nuestro tiempo es que tenemos edificios más altos y temperamentos más reducidos, carreteras mas anchas y puntos de vista mas estrechos. Gastamos más pero tenemos menos, compramos más pero disfrutamos menos. Tenemos casas más grandes y familias más chicas, mayores comodidades y menos tiempo. Tenemos mas grados académicos pero menos sentido común, mayor conocimiento...

A friend said once that it’s not just one fight, it’s a fight day after day, every moment. I lost the fight today, I did fail, but one failure isn’t going to define me. I’m tired of fighting but I know I have more in me and I’m closer than ever to winning. I have to push through this. I have to fight the hardest when it matters the most, when it’s easiest to give up.

Me: I love you, Feli! *hug*
Feli: Me too, Belu!
Me: Even though I'm all sweaty and I stink?
Feli: Yes! Love doesn't have a nose, Belu!
“El poeta hace lo mismo que el niño que juega: crea un mundo fantástico y lo toma muy en serio, es decir, se siente íntimamente ligado a el, aunque sin dejar de diferenciarlo resueltamente de la realidad. Pero de esta irrealidad del mundo poético nacen consecuencias muy importantes para la técnica artística, pues mucho de lo que, siendo real, no podría procurar placer ninguno, puede...

I’m happier now!
You know that kind of person you honestly feel you could confide in absolutely anything, knowing she won’t judge you, but put herself in your shoes as much as she can? Someone who’ll stand by you as long as you need, even in your darkest moment? Who genuinely cares for what troubles you, and will go out of her way to help in any way she can? Well...
