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.

shit happens for a reason

Cuando comemos, el alimento que ingerimos inicia una aventura en nuestro cuerpo que inicia en la boca y termina en el ano. Analicemos por paso dicha travesía, pero antes - y no estoy juzgando la capacidad interpretativa del lector - debo aclarar que, aunque utilice en ocasiones términos médicos y científicos, esto no es una lección de anatomía. La función principal de nuestro sistema digestivo es descomponer la comida para que el organismo aproveche los nutrientes y lo transforme en energía almacenable y aprovechable en nuestro cuerpo. Tal como funciona nuestro sistema digestivo, nuestra mente funciona de forma similar. A menudo nos encontramos con suculentas prosas ricas en nutrientes líricos, masticamos las puntuaciones y acentuaciones y procedemos a tragar los versos (o párrafos completos, en el caso de los angurriosos). Luego de ingerirlos, nuestro sistema se encarga de procesarlos. Dependiendo de la esencia nutritiva de lo absorbido, será determinada nuestra energía aprovechada y ...

Aural Blindness

Your body speaks the words your mind dares not express and heart refuses to acknowledge, for there is no surefire way to cease the inevitable flow of energy derived from pure emotions. Those who look carefully can visually witness such energy by interacting with other individuals, the array of colors that vary with each mood and scenario. The pleasantness of such colors are marked not only by the exuder, but also by the interpreter; in other words, a form of aural daltonism. This put in layman’s terms, what you think others intend by their reactions alone is more often than not very dissimilar from your interpretation, and here’s where the plot thickens: in order to successfully carry out social and productive interaction this is a pre-requisite. There’s an upside to being overly analytical: self-awareness. However, the result of this obviously biased auto diagnosis often leads to the same conclusion, or as Einstein puts it: “…doing things over and over and expecting ...
