Say more in less words.

Distraction is so easy to obtain, I can't wrap my head around something for an instant because before I know it, I'm already thinking about something else. Do you know that feeling? When you have so much on your mind? When you are battling between a torrent of ideas and thoughts? That's how I feel right now, that is how I have felt lately; and having such an obstacled mind really makes my writing suck. So instead, I will share a quote from the book I'm reading, it is a new perspective to the topic, something I have never considered, but liked very much.

"...there is only one sin, only one. And that is theft. Every other sin is a variation of theft. Do you understand that?... When you kill a man, you steal a life, you steal his wife's right to a husband, rob his children from a father. When you tell a lie, you steal someone's right to the truth. When you cheat, you steal the right to fairness. Do you see?"

I see, I can see perfectly how this man is right. The book is titled The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini, my english teacher let me borrow it, and though I am barely in chapter three, I know I am going to love it.

Better judgement.

In the path of life, there will always be people that make you as blissful as you'll ever be, but their time to go comes, and they will make you as unhappy as you have ever been. 
People ease into your life, into your heart, they squeeze into the cracks of your skin, they do it slowly, patiently. They become your weakness, your strength, and everything in between; they allow you to smile, to laugh, to breath; they become the very best of you. And after they reach into your mind and soul, when they become the base of your thoughts... they leave. Unannounced. Quickly. Without leaving a trace. Those empty cracks start filling up with pain, unending tears drip from your eyes like broken faucets, and your heart hides from light, finding home in the darkest of your thoughts. Anger overpowers happiness; but then it fades away, camouflaging behind confusion and all those unending questions that keep you up every night, waiting for the answers that will never come. It seems impossible, but the time when you don't feel nothing at all eventually comes, music stops making you sad, and you begin to smile as enlightenment reaches the corners of your heart's cave. Realization hits you, the ice wall breaks, and you learn that people who hurt you the most, also teach you more than you can imagine.

I was taught that I am valuable, not because of money or last names. Today I can smile on my own, because I am valuable for who I am, what I believe in, and who I will become. I was taught that I shouldn't stop believing in myself, that I shouldn't give up on my dreams, that I have to fight for what I feel is best for me.

Society may have it's own judgment, but today, I am the judge of myself.

Insignificantly significant.

I was blessed to grow up in a family where love is sweet, where you could feel it in the air, warm and toasty, like a steaming cup of hot chocolate on a cold winters' night.

My dad used to go to Home Depot a lot, and my sisters and I loved to keep him company. We enjoyed looking at all the beautiful bright lamps, the colorful doors, and the marvelous windows. We chose dozens of paint colors for our rooms that would never be painted, we chose everything that we liked the most, door knobs, rugs, refrigerators... we pretended we would buy it someday, make our own dream house; surprisingly, we were happy knowing that it wasn't true.
My mother trailed along beside my dad, she was always patient, going after us even though we unnecessarily covered every corridor, choosing things and asking tons of questions about unknown objects for us.

We live beautiful moments every day, moments that seem completely ordinary, but it's those small moments that are the most significant to you when your life changes, when even the ordinary is all gone. That kind of insignificant and small family times are what come to my mind now that I'm far away, now that I know that time won't repeat itself no matter how hard I try.
Remembering makes me incredibly sad, I shed tears while I go through memory lane; but it also makes me proud and happy, my tears make me grateful for having a family like my own, for being raised between lovely details.

Today I went to Home Depot. I'm older now, I'm wise enough to stop pretending, and I no longer live with my parents. I missed my dad insanely, I wanted to run through every corridor without caring for the stares, I wanted to look at my sisters in their eyes and see the same excitement and wonder glittering on the surface, I wanted to see my mom's smile behind my back, I wanted everything that I can't have anymore. Time is irreplaceable, time is cruel, and time won't ever let you go, it is unchangeable, and it will always make you miserably homesick.

"Ordinary moments can become extraordinary, simply by spending them with the right people." I do not remember the mind behind the quote, I believe I read it in a book last summer; but now I see the real meaning, and as I understand, I also cherish my ordinary family, the ordinary moments we spent together, and the extraordinary memories that I'll keep in my heart forever.

I miss you.

Falling down.

She wasn't the kind of girl who had a new crush every week. In fact, she had never had a real crush and she was already seventeen. She had only had two boyfriends in her short life, both were okay looking, normal people; but she didn't crush nor fall for either, and that was probably why both relationships ended without notice after not a very long time. 
She had liked other guys, flirted around with some, and actually almost kissed a few, but she never was the one who crushed on them, she just ended up liking them. There never was a guy that made her melt at the sight of him, that made her heart pound without knowing him, she never had feelings for anybody that didn't show interest in her beforehand; and that was why people thought she was overcritical, while men in particular just thought she was far beyond reach. 

Yet there she was, staring at the car ceiling, lost in her thoughts; not knowing that she was on her way to find what she never expected, to find something that would seem a lot like love, simply waiting for her in a small farmacy, just behind a shiny white counter that would separate her from him... her first crush.

Love is this.

Today I was listening to a song while I was riding on my fathers car; while I was enjoying it, I felt the irrevocable need to share it with someone. Truthfully, where could there be a better place than my well kept non-private diary? 
Whoever reads this, wherever you are, and whatever you are doing, I hope you feel the same way, I hope you have tears coming to your eyes, and inspiration hits you hard on the chest. So you, like me can realize what we have, and stop taking for granted all the love in our lives. 

I've taken out the parts where the song repeats itself, the chorus is truly beautiful. The song's title is "This Is Love" by the Irish and totally hot band The Script. Enjoy and think it through.

It's in the eyes of the children, as they leave for the very first time. And it's in the heart of the soldier, as he takes a bullet on the frontline. It's in the face of a mother, as she takes the force of a blow. And its in the hands of the father, as he works his fingers to the bone.

I'm standing under a white flag. Can you see me? I'm standing for everything we have. Can you hear me?

This is why we do it.
This is worth the pain.
This is why we bow down,
And get back up again.
This is where the heart lies.
This is from above.
Love is this, this is love.
Love is why we do it.
Love is worth the pain.
Love is why we fall down,
And get back up again.
Love is where the heart lies.
Love is from above.
Love is this, this is love.

It's in the soul of a city, what it does after it crumbles and burns. And it's in the blood of a hero, to know that where he goes he may never return.

If you could be anywhere that you wanted to be, with anyone that you wanted to be with; do anything that you wanted to do, what would it be and who would it be with you?
Time flies but you're the pilot, it moves real fast but you're the driver, you may crash and burn sometimes.

Love is this, this is love.

P.S. Search the song on YouTube, Danny's voice is amazing, the melody is incredible, and the big plus... the lead singer is gorgeous.

Blown away.

She was sitting over a lonely bench on the outskirts of campus, the wind was blowing in her hair while leaves swirled around her. She was reading under the shade of an oak tree, as she did every other day; and he watched her from behind, as he did every other day. 
He saw her shiver, but he hadn't noticed until then that the weather was getting cold, the sun was hiding behind the clouds and unlike the sun, he had no desire to keep hiding behind the wild berry bushes. He approached quietly towards her, and as he was reaching her, he pulled of his navy jacket and hung it over her shoulders, hugging her as he did so. She turned to face him, surprised with the recognition of his smell, she rested her head on his shoulder and gave him a kiss at the base of his chin. She could feel his rapid pulse touching her lips and felt the need to never let go. 
"Read to me." he whispered into her ear. 
"You don't even like this." she answered laughing.
"No, I don't." he admitted, "But I do love the sound of your voice." 
She smiled, wondering to herself why he made her feel this way, she never meant for it to go this far, to share as much; and as she began to read, she realized he didn't mean to fall either, but the way his arms held her, definitely made it clear that he did.

Midnight thoughts.

As she lay on her bed, she couldn't stop thinking about the slow rythmic pounding of a beating heart, she could not see it nor hear it, but she could surely feel it. She had her hand against his hot chest, her fingers tracing small circles, his heart seemed to match the slow pulsing of blood coursing through her veins. The moving of his chest was all she needed, his long intakes of air made her think more calmly, she had been restless all night, shifting her body from side to side until she found him; he had always been there, but she had avoided him, not wanting to touch him, to feel him. She was longing to know what he was dreaming, with his angelic face over the pillow, his eyes moving inside his sockets, she was sure he was seeing something he desired. As his chest moved upward once more, she thought of love, and she allowed herself to drown in her wild thoughts, those she wished to not seek. 
"Stop it." she said to herself.
"Stop what?" he asked as his eyes fluttered open.
"I... Umm... Said nothing, sleep talking." she answered quickly, but he didn't hear her, he was fast asleep, far away dreaming. What a sick bastard, she thought, he could sleep like a baby while she was losing a fight against her own will.

She couldn't help herself, having him there in her arms, she was supposed do be angry at him, but she was only angry at herself for feeling what she should not, yet she continued to stare at his long lashes, his unmoving lips, his bare chest... She should not, she should stop, let go and sleep; but he moved his arm over her as he muttered something inaudible, engaging her under his strength. She couldn't move an inch even if her life depended on it, but she didn't want to move, she loved every bit of him, she could lie to herself no more. 
In that moment, under the pressure of his body, she accepted her feelings, overpowered by her emotions she gave in to her weakness. "I hate you." she whispered feebly into his ear as she drifted into a deep sleep.

Ignorance is Bliss.


I’ve never been stopped before, never felt afraid of leaving something behind, never been conscious of the wonderful people around me. I’ve never felt this grateful for the things I have, for the people in my life. You may not know, but I’ve moved around a lot, lived in different places, met new people, and been through many experiences. But not once have I searched for this, this that I found in the smallest of places, I found love, confidence in myself, appreciation for others… I never looked for home

“You never know what you have until you lose it.” That is so true, wise words passed on through generations, and it’s still here, words stuck between societies forever. We’re always taking for granted what we have; never stopping to admire the beauty of the world around us, the people in our lives. We take for granted everything we have, why? Because we have it, it’s already ours. It’s not until these things start slipping away that we realize how grateful we should be, we realize things could have happened differently, we realize we can easily lose the things we love the most. And it’s until then; until we start losing; that we wish we had everything back the way it was. 

Things are falling from my hands; changes are clouding my horizon, clouds of realization, clouds that bring a rain of thought within them, storms of torment and regret. Why now? Why do I see until now that what I have here is what I want? Why didn’t I see it while the sun was shining bright in the sky? Well, because I’m oblivious to the facts, like every other human; and like every other human… I’m afraid, terrified of the future before me, wide eyed in the face of changes. 

There’s only one question burning its way through my thoughts, obligating me to choose between two paths that will mark my life forever. Take it or leave it? I’ve realized that its times like this that knowing becomes a curse, and being ignorant is living in bliss.

I'm in over my head.

A veces escucho voces. No, no estoy loca, ni soy esquizofrénica. Cuando cepillo mis dientes, cuando camino por la calle, antes de dormirme, o en la ducha… en ocasiones escucho voces. No son alucinaciones, no estoy loca, lo prometo. Es dialogo, son conversaciones que mi mente genera sin darme cuenta; si lo sé, es sumamente extraño, algunas personas me recomendarían un psicólogo, pero estas voces me ayudan a comprender, entiendo cosas que sola, realmente no podría. Puedes llamarlas conciencia o aburrimiento, sean lo que sean, me distraen de cosas que no quiero pensar, me facilitan el tener tiempo libre en mis manos. 

Anoche escuche una conversación en mi cabeza. ¿Revelación? No lo creo, tal vez muestre la confusión que siento hacia el tema. El dialogo es entre un doctor, y su mejor amigo; están discutiendo, pues el doctor perdió lo más importante de su vida, y le cuesta trabajo pensar que alguien o algo pudo haber deseado un futuro así para el. 

“Tienes que tener fe.” dijo su mejor amigo con una voz suave y gentil.
“¿Fe en qué? ¡Demonios!” gritó el joven doctor desesperado.
“Tienes que entregarle tu corazón a Dios.” Pidió con esperanza.
“¿Mi corazón? ¡! ¿Qué corazón? Yo entregué mi corazón. Lo di entero sin antes pensarlo ni dos veces, lo di con los ojos cerrados, ¿y sabes qué? Lo volvería a hacer, sin dudarlo.” Pausó un momento, calmándose. “Pero ya no hay nada en mi, ese maldito que llamas Dios, si es que existe, se lo llevó junto con ella.”
“Amigo, tienes que dejarlo ir, debes entender que todo pasa por algo. Cree, el tiene algo en tu destino, pero necesitas ayudarlo, confía en el.”
“¿Todo pasa por algo? ¿Destino? ¿Sabes qué es eso? ¡Basura! Eres el maldito arquitecto de tu desgraciado destino. ¡Mierda! Eso es. He hecho todo lo que está en mis manos, todo por tener una buena vida, por darle a alguien mi vida, pero ¿sabes qué? Mis decisiones, por más buenas y sensatas que fueron, mis planes anticipados, todo fue inútil; porque mi maldito destino, Dios, o cómo demonios lo quieras llamar, me arrebató todo lo que tenía, se llevó a mi esposa, ¡con mi hijo en su vientre! Así que dile a esa basura que llamas Dios, que se joda, con todo y su fe y su maldito destino.” Gritó exasperado, su rostro estaba rojo, sus ojos ansiosos.
“¡Tienes que calmarte! No tienes idea de lo que me duele verte así, eres mi hermano, crecimos juntos, me duele. ¡Tienes que seguir adelante!” dijo mientras una sola lágrima escapaba de su rostro.
“¿Calmarme?” preguntó incrédulo.
“Si calmarte.” Ordenó mientras él hacía lo mismo. “Continuar con tu vida, seguir adelante.”
“¿Mi vida?” Preguntó con sarcasmo crudo en su voz. “Mi vida es este maldito hospital, sigo viviendo únicamente para ayudar, ¿entiendes? No sirvo para nada más, soy incapaz de sentir algo que no sea odio.” Dijo apenas un susurro.
“No me daré por vencido, no voy a quedarme parado viendo como destruyes tu vida.” advirtió.
“En ese caso, en verdad espero que encuentres un asiento muy cómodo, porque no voy a cambiar, se acabó.” Respondió con dureza.
“Eso lo veremos, sólo Dios lo sabe.” Recordó con fe visible en su mirada.
“Que se joda tu maldito Dios.” Dijo entre dientes mientras salía de la habitación.

Quédate conmigo si quieres descubrir junto a mí, el principio, y el final de esta posible conmovedora historia, eso me agradaría mucho. En lo contrario, te puedes estar perdiendo de algo muy interesante… al menos eso espero. (:

Dreams & nonsense.


Hello fellow readers, I get the impression that it’s a tiny group. It might just be me out here; but I don’t care, because this was destined to be my diary, so if I keep the nosy out of it, I guess it’s a good thing… right?

I’ve fallen into the pattern of writing in English; I guess words flow out of my mind better. Well, getting to the point, I’ve realized I haven’t been very cheery at all in my posts, and just so you know: no, I’m not always this melancholic, my inspiration comes better when I’m sad. Weird, huh? But then I guess I’ve never been normal, and I’m proud of it, who wants to be like everyone else? Let me cut this nonsense and go back to the writing…

I’ve read about it, I’ve seen it on movies, I’ve also written about it; but it has never happened to me before, not once. I had a dream, and it was about something that occurred to me during the day. Extremely weird, given that I almost never remember what I dream of, but last nights’ dream was so livid, it’s still there in the back of my mind. My subconscious gave me something, something I thought that hadn’t affected me at all, but it definitely had something on me, because I’m still shocked somehow. 

Funny, how our mind works. Giving us thoughts, things so non-important that they should not matter at all, but here I am, questioning my brains out.

The fewer... the better.

People change, I’ve finally got it through my stubborn head. I may never know if a person changes for better or for worst, I’m not the one to judge that… but they do, and it’s totally not fair, because I don’t even get a heads up! I guess we all have to change sometime around, but it catches me off guard, it happens so abruptly it leaves me dizzy from amazement. Maybe its evolution, everyone around me is growing up in their very own special kind of way. Maybe if I don’t try to keep up to the changes, I’ll be stuck in prehistory and eventually become extinct (well now that’s over-doing it). Well thank you oh-so-very much Darwin, thanks to you I’ll be left behind to rot.

Talk is cheap.

Yeah, I know, my blog has become a depressing and sad warp of words, but oh well, let's say I'm an unhappy teenager, like oh so many billions of them out there, so deal with it.

Sorry for that, I haven't been in a very good mood these days, months... you get it. Let's forget my attitude and go back to the writing I did a couple days ago:

 So much time has gone by, I no longer cry, but I must confess I still do miss it. (Sorry if I don't explain myself, sometimes someone's feelings aren't explainable.) I only miss it when I'm feeling terribly lonely, but I actually don't miss it, I miss company, I miss knowing that someone's there for me, that someone loves me, or at least cares a bit about me; I felt lonely today, extraordinarily lonely. I spent all day watching TV, crying at the end of every damn episode for my rubbish loneliness. I know I'm completely over-dramatic, I know I've got to put my head back in the clouds, since it's been hanging low for the past months, almost reaching the ground (again with my drama). 
Something's gotten in to me, I know "things happen for a reason"... blah, blah, blah. but I don't want to embrace the moments, I want to be completely free of them, free of thought, free of memories, free to do and believe in whatever or whoever I want to; but there's still something holding me back, and I absolutely know it's not love, it's my damn huge loneliness. I know this is a faze, I'm a teenager, let's say it's normal, I know it's going to go away, but I can't help thinking I've never felt lonelier in my entire life. 
 Inevitably, I've come to the conclusion that I need something or someone to hold on to, to look up to, call it faith, call it love, call it God or dementia, call it whatever you want to, but for my mind's sake, I can't feel like this... I shall not feel like this anymore.

Green Eyes.

No, no hablo de la canción de Coldplay.
No, no hablo de los ojos de Hayley W.
No, no hablo de mi fantasía de tener ojos verdes.

Anoche soñé con un par de ojos verdes, nada más, sólo ojos verdes...
¿De quién? No lo sé. 
¿Por qué? No lo sé.
Pero esos ojos verdes estuvieron ahí despues de un sueño muy raro. Todo es muy extraño pues jamás recuerdo lo que sueño. 




Si, lo sé, esa entrada es muy rara, pero se supone que debo poner todo lo que tengo en mi mente ¿no? Estoy un poco bloqueada.
