Me and my love for isolation against the world

“There were days when she was very happy without knowing why. She was happy to be alive and breathing, when her whole being seemed to be one with the sunlight, the color, the odors, the luxuriant warmth of some perfect Southern day. She liked then to wander alone into strange and unfamiliar places. She discovered many a sunny, sleepy corner, fashioned to dream in. And she found it good to dream and to be alone and unmolested.There were days when she was unhappy, she did not know why—when it did not seem worth while to be glad or sorry, to be alive or dead; when life appeared to her like a grotesque pandemonium and humanity like worms struggling blindly toward inevitable annihilation”

— Kate Chopin, The Awakening

De ti aprendí, que aunque pienses que nadie te escucha, siempre habrá alguien dispuesto a escuchar lo que callas por miedo a ser una carga para los demás. Que aún hay personas en las que puedes confiar tu sentir sin miedo a ser juzgado o minimizado, qué hay personas que estarán solo por estar y te tendrán la paciencia que necesites para desahogar tus pesares, qué hay quien se queda aunque vean tu lado vulnerable y abrazan tus heridas con palabras de ternura y amor. Aprendí que aún hay personas que te ven con los ojos del alma y no solo por cómo te muestras por fuera. Sí, aún hay de esas personas.

耳をすませば / Whisper of the Heart 1995,dir. Yoshifumi Kondō

When we avoid difficult conversations, we trade short-term discomfort for long-term dysfunction.

Peter Bromberg

“And if I show you my dark side, will you still hold me tonight?”

— Pink Floyd, “The Final Cut"

“I am sorry someone loved you badly, and that they made you feel like you take up more space than you deserve. I am sorry they abandoned you when you need them the most and it has made you believe that love is an awful thing that hurts.”
