You're one in a million
Yeah, that's what you are
You're one in a million, babe.

yo todo lo que tengo, que es nada, se lo dí

cuando todo está al revés en mi cabeza...

(and I'm waiting for the good times...)

As human beings, sometimes it's better to stay in the dark, because in the dark there may be fear, but there's also hope.

. . . A n g i e ♥

Pain, you just have to ride it out, hope it goes away on its own, hope the wound that caused it heals. There are no solutions, no easy answers, you just breath deep and wait for it to subside. Most of the time pain can be managed but sometimes the pain gets you where you least expect it. Hits way below the belt and doesn't let up. Pain, you just have to fight through, because the truth is you can't outrun it and life always makes more.

COMMUNICATION. IT'S THE FIRST THING WE REALLY LEARN IN LIFE. FUNNY THING IS, ONCE WE GROW UP, LEARN OUR WORDS AND REALLY START TALKING THE HARDER IT BECOMES TO KNOW WHAT TO SAY OR HOW TO ASK FOR WHAT WE REALLY NEED.

Four hundred years ago, another well-known English guy had an opinion about being alone. John Donne. He thought we were never alone. Of course, it was fancier when he said it. "No man is an island entire unto himself." Boil down that island talk, and he just meant that all anyone needs is someone to step in and let us know we're not alone. And who's to say that someone can't have four legs. Someone to play with or run around with, or just hang out.

For a kiss to be really good, you want it to mean something. You want it to be with someone you can't get out of your head, so that when your lips finally touch you feel it everywhere. A kiss so hot and so deep you never want to come up for air. You can't cheat your first kiss. Trust me, you don't want to. Cause when you find that right person for a first kiss, it's everything.

Every thing that I do, reminds me of you

At the end of the day, there are some things you just can't help but talk about. Some things we just don't want to hear, and some things we say because we can't be silent any longer. Some things are more than what you say, they're what you do. Some things you say cause there's no other choice. Some things you keep to yourself. And not too often, but every now and then, some things simply speak for themselves.

Maybe we like the pain. Maybe we're wired that way. Because without it, I don't know; maybe we just wouldn't feel real. What's that saying? Why do I keep hitting myself with a hammer? Because it feels so good when I stop.

A couple of hundred years ago, Benjamin Franklin shared with the world the secret of his success. Never leave that till tomorrow, he said, which you can do today. This is the man who discovered electricity. You think more people would listen to what he had to say. I don't know why we put things off, but if I had to guess, I'd have to say it has a lot to do with fear. Fear of failure, fear of rejection, sometimes the fear is just of making a decision, because what if you're wrong? What if you're making a mistake you can't undo? The early bird catches the worm. A stitch in time saves nine. He who hesitates is lost. We can't pretend we hadn't been told. We've all heard the proverbs, heard the philosophers, heard our grandparents warning us about wasted time, heard the damn poets urging us to seize the day. Still sometimes we have to see for ourselves. WE HAVE TO MAKE OUR OWN MISTAKES. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep today's possibility under tomorrow's rug until we can't anymore. Until we finally understand for ourselves what Benjamin Franklin really meant. That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping, and even the biggest failure, even the worst, beat the hell out of never trying.

You know how when you were a little kid and you believed in fairy tales, that fantasy of what your life would be, white dress, prince charming who would carry you away to a castle on a hill. You would lie in bed at night and close your eyes and you had complete and utter faith. Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, Prince Charming, they were so close you could taste them, but eventually you grow up, one day you open your eyes and the fairy tale disappears. Most people turn to the things and people they can trust. But the thing is it's hard to let go of that fairy tale entirely cause almost everyone has that smallest bit of hope, of faith, that one day they will open their eyes and it will come true.

We're adults. When did that happen? And how do we make it stop?

Amarte a ti no es lo mejor, lo tengo claro.
habiendo tantas cosas por hacer, menos traumáticas.
como hallarle figuras a las nubes,
o como ir al cine o no hacer nada.
amarte a ti no es lo mejor, pero me gusta.
quizás estoy jugando como siempre al masoquista.
en ves de distraerme con el fútbol,
o con el internet como hacen todos.
amarte a ti no es lo mejor, pero es perfecto,
para encontrarle algún sentido a esta rutina,
de ser por siempre solo un ciudadano,
solo uno mas.
amarte a ti me hace sufrir, que buena suerte.
para acordarme de que existo y de que siento.
para tener en que pensar todas las noches,
para vivir.
amarte a ti es un veneno que da vida.
es una antorcha que se enciende si se apaga.
es lo sublime junto con lo idiota.
es lo que siento y a quién le importa.
amarte a ti es la verdad más mentirosa.
es lo mejor de lo peor que me ha pasado.
es la ruleta rusa por un beso,
es lo de siempre improvisado.
amarte a ti es un error dice un amigo,
que cree que ser feliz es estar libre,
y se pierde del matiz que da lo incierto,
amarte a ti
es la embajada de un instante en mi cerebro
es también haberte odiado un par de veces.
amarte a ti es un absurdo y lo sabemos,
y así será... mientras nos dure.
