sustantivación de la vida

A menudo nos encontramos ejercitando nuestro derecho de actuar según la propia naturaleza humana, la cual dicta que "siempre habrá alguien a quien culpar". Sea el vecino, el compañero de trabajo, la muchacha que lava del apartamento del frente (que por cierto se llama María), el perro, u objetos inanimados, cualquier incidente con consecuencias negativas fueron causadas por un agente externo, nunca uno mismo.

Eventualmente te quedarás culpando a la vida misma ("¿Por qué me tuvo que pasar esto?"), alternativamente usando el humor como escape emocional, o bien para encontrar seguridad al darte cuenta que cada quien pasa por lo mismo o algo similar.

Empiezas a decir: "La vida es dura", "La vida no perdona", mistificando la misma y sustantivándola, de manera que la misma se convierte capaz de actuar sobre ti, un ser invisible que protagoniza tus infortunios, pero también tus buenaventuranzas.

Lo importante es reconocer que tú eres dueño de tu destino, recuérdalo cada vez que impongas un "pero" antes de tus oraciones, no busques excusas, busca alternativas. La vida no trae problemas, trae retos. Dichos retos dependen de cada quien para ser resueltos, tienen periodos de caducidad y diversas formas de solucionarlos.

A moment of doubt

It's funny when you reach a point in your life when you think you have it all figured out, you come to realize that all you thought you knew was actually backwards. As if you were looking at a picture upside down, and one day you flip it over and it makes much more sense, but it also means you have to "unlearn" what was already imprinted in your being. You then modify your perceptions and your whole world comes tumbling down. A spark of self-doubt plants itself in a tiny nook between your heart and mind, like a parasite that just found its host. Everything you thought you knew comes into questioning, simple things, trivial things. You have internal battles, debates in your head between your acquired "truth" over the years and a "what if" scenario that would refute it. Logic, reasoning, science, common sense; Your safe havens, that which you know to be true, or at least to a degree of certainty that surpasses your own convictions at the time. You fi...

sangro amor

Me insultas. Exhortas inmundicias propias de un engendro subhumano, con tus palabras afiladas intentas clavar mi integridad, y sangro. Envenenas los allegados a ti con tu amarga lengua, con tu mirada emanas tus deseos megalomaníacos, y sangro. Adoptas una actitud propia de un villano de cuento de hadas, cuya diferencia yace en la inaptitud de tus palabras ante un público infantil, o en general en este caso. Explotas la posibilidad de provocar reacciones físicas severas a quienes diriges tu atención, y sangro. Has penetrado la barrera invisible del zen neural. Me has hecho sangrar, pero sangro amor. Amor porque reconozco que una vez existió un alma noble ubicada en las entrañas de tu ser, amor porque tengo fe que algún día resurgirá, sangro amor porque tengo la conciencia limpia de impurezas, inmune al virus que repetidas veces liberas al abrir la boca.

Comforting Pain

A distant gaze into the unknown; A thousand bursts of everything and nothing at once. The clicking noise of gathering your thoughts; Yearning for things that you knew would always fade, eventually. The balance between acknowledging the faded glint of hope, and accepting you're not as strong as you thought you were, or maybe... Maybe this was always supposed to happen, in this way, this sequence. Maybe there is a blueprint or sketch, a layout of how things are meant to unravel. Maybe that would help make sense of it all, but alas... To take comfort in uncertainty. To accept your humanity. Hard surface dented and scratched with countless stories and faceless memories. What's the point of prideful scars when you can't accept your shoulders giving in to the insurmountable weight? A grin: Echos of joyful remembrance, of simpler times not so long ago. Refusal to become the incarnation of banality, isolated in a crowded matrix.  The irony of assimilating your unexceptional uniquen...
