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 uniqueness.
And still, the grin evolves.

The simultaneous gasp and sigh, longing to not be afraid anymore.
Afraid that the moment will come when the constant beating will render you numb.
Numbness prevents and eradicates survival; We need to survive.

You don't need reassurance, yet a warm embrace would mitigate the pain.
You don't need anything, you tell yourself... but I need you.
For once I don't want to steer alone; Lets instead paddle down this stream, together.
Touches of bitterness tarnish isolation, for it no longer appeals to the experienced social palate.

Snap.

Grasp on to familiar ropes, and lean forward.
For a new chapter is about to begin, one without restraint.
Driven by what was once a mild notion, the gift of days to come arises.
Surrender your fears and take comfort in pain; Live.

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...

Una década de reflexión

Diez años han pasado de este milenio... Hace diez años la vida era tan simple, uno se arropaba en la sencillez como una cobija en un frío invierno. 120 meses de aprendizaje, risas y carcajadas, llantos y suspiros. Tiempo para valorar y para crecer, de grandes cambios y más de lo mismo. Cuando antes la preocupación consistía en nimiedades y trivialidades, hechos que, aunque ahora insignificantes, marcaban la diferencia en nuestras vidas. El lienzo ahora tiene contenido, donde el blanco tornó claroscuro, y los brotes multicolores abundaron. La esencia nunca cambia, uno no deja ser quien es, en el fondo. Sin embargo, el cascarón va evolucionando, la mente queda empapada en conocimiento y experiencias, aquellas que te permiten tomar decisiones sabias y tropezar menos en la vida. Las cicatrices te ayudan a recordar, y no cometer los mismos errores. Es tiempo de cerrar capítulos, concluir etapas, aprender de ellas, y recordar... Recordar que siempre hay una luz al final del túnel, Recordar q...
