Words that kill you softly.
There are words uttered with the best of intentions, yet for some, those words are on our black list. Words that kill us softly because of our own interpretation. If there is an adjective I dislike being referred to by is: “You are so sweet,” in Spanish: “Eres un cielo.” It kills me! I have […]
Read More…Your canvas, your life.
Life is an empty canvas we paint as we go. Some of us are better painters than others, yet we still have to get on with the picture. We choose the landscape to set the images, the colors, the storms, the wreckage. We can improve the picture or just let it be and […]
Read More…Esa paz, esa paz…
“¿Y para eso has pagado a un médico? Eso te lo podría haber dicho yo gratis, que siempre que hablamos acabamos abriendo mil temas sin terminar ninguno porque a ti se te va la bola”. Así era. Aunque supiera lo que le pasaba prefería que un loquero se lo diagnosticara, no para cambiar nada, sino […]

We play fortune-tellers and try to cover all the holes in the sieve before the water even starts pouring through. Control: that is the problem. We want to control everything by settling for a predictable life even if the boredom kills us.

Cada vez que alguien usa la palabra “pero” dejo casi automáticamente de prestar atención a lo que sigue. El principio es sólo paja para enmascarar lo que viene después. Una excusa, a veces, para no hacer daño o suavizar el golpe.
Read More……y todo lo demás: El roto
Me lo decía siempre a risotadas, que no llegaría a los 50. La broma siempre era la misma. Con lo que iba a cobrar de jubilación, mejor muerta que en la calle. También solía añadir que no le apetecía durar más, que se negaba a sufrir la pérdida de un ser querido. “Mejor me […]
