Redemption

En algún punto de la vida nos miramos a nosotros mismos en el espejo. Vemos en qué nos hemos convertido y pensamos en los errores cometidos, en los errores que quizás volveríamos a cometer. Meditamos en las promesas hechas tanto al resto como a nosotros mismos, al mirar al espejo, miramos al pasado y al mismo tiempo al inminente futuro que nos deja sin salida. Vemos cómo hemos cambiado, o quizás cómo quisimos cambiar y no lo conseguimos. Ocurre lo mismo cuando miramos fotografías, y una y otra vez nos preguntamos si exista alguna forma de redención para nosotros mismo. La lista de deseos sin cumplir y deseos imposibles es mayor con creces a la lista de metas alcanzadas. Por mucho que intentemos conservar lo "bueno" de las experiecias que se nos ha ofrecido, no podemos evitar en las veces que las caídas nos dolieron tanto como para dejarnos sin deseos de levantarnos una vez más. Pero al final del día una voz amiga nos dice que después de todo, no eran errores ni caídas, sino que todo lo que ocurrió era una lección que requeriamos aprender, porque de eso se trata la vida de los jóvenes, se trata de aprender y de prepararnos para lo que viene

A prior birthday epiphany

I'm actually less than an hour I'm turning 23 and it's been quite a journey. in less than a year I went from heaven to hell back and forth so many times I lost count. I went from being surrounded b pole I loved in a way I never expected to being a stranger in my own hometown. To losing myself and learning about the kid I used I see in the mirror, to being happy to let the sadness tear me up from the inside.  Yes, I grew up, I was surprised, I allowed myself to be dissapointed by people for one last time, I let the wall keeping me away from falling for a guy down. They say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, I say fight back. There are lessons I must never forget, and I mean it when I say never. The first comes to friends. Friends are magical beings that appear in your life and are loyal to you no matter what. They'd take the bullet for you. They'd swallow their sadness to cheer you up. Friends are beyond time and space, beyond destiny and destinations...

First time

There are many first times. We crave them. Our first time outside the coutry, first time on our own, first time doing something crazy, or simply "the" first time. However, there are first times we don't know they are first times 'till it's too late. For example, our first time truly in love. When we're teenagers we have crushes, we think they are our first loves till we realize they're not. As we grow older we have our first kiss and, well, hopefully later, our first time. What we seem to forget is that we rarely share all those first times with the same person, that only happens in movies. Our first love comes later, when we know ourselves, when we less expect it. Our first love comes when you less expect it, that moment when you're off guard, when you might not want to be in love, when love is too silly to believe in.  As we grow older we meet new and more interesting people and there's someone, someone with whom you share a certain connecti...

To The Object Of My Affection

I, from another land, met you in the summer, and you from another time, made your way as my lover,  I was reckless and didn't see the moon,  shining brighter, gravitating around you, and though I, I never was one for strings attached. l let you in, to be part of my life. Later the fall came, turning leaves in red, and so promises were made, nice things were said. It showed me that usual as you there are few, Cause you know no season, they avoid you, And though I, I never was one for sharing, Let me say, when you sleep, I lay staring. Finally an early winter came and it's far gone, I had no idea what was it like not spend it alone, I get it now, we're just outlaws of love, running away from anyone with a soul. And though I never was one for happiness, I summon thee and farewell loneliness.
