“And then she fell in love. She fell in love silently, obstinately—-perhaps helplessly. It came slowly, but when it came it worked like a powerful spell: an irresistible and fateful impulse.”

- Amy Foster

Sara Bareilles - Gonna Get Over You

This song is so quotable, especially in my today. I mean, it’s just THIS. So… I’m just gonna post the whole song.

Goodbye
Should be sayin’ that to you by now, shouldn’t I?
Layin’ down the law that I live by,
Though maybe next time

I’ve got a thick tongue,
Brimming with the words that go unsung
Simmer then the burn for a someone,
A wrong one

And I tell myself to let the story end,
My heart will rest in someone else’s hand
My ‘why not me?’ philosophy began,
And I say

Ooh, how’m I gonna get over you?
I’ll be alright, just not tonight
Someday, oh I wish you’d want me to stay
I’ll be alright, just not tonight,
Someday

Maybe is a vicious little word that can slay me
Keep me when I’m hurting and make me,
Hang from your hands

Well, no more,
I won’t beg to buy a shot at your back door
If I make it at the thought of you, what for?
It’s not me anymore

And I’m not the girl that I intend to be,
I dare you darling, just you wait and see
But this time not for you but just for me,
And I say

Ooh, how’m I gonna get over you?
I’ll be alright, just not tonight
Someday, oh I wish you’d want me to stay
I’ll be alright, just not tonight,
Someday

Say it’s coming soon,
Someday without you,
All I can do
Is get me past the ghost of you,

Wave goodbye to me,
I won’t say I’m sorry,
I’ll be alright
once I find the other side of someday
Oohoohooohoohooh…
Oohoohooohoohooh…

Ooh, how’m I gonna get over you?
I’ll be alright, just not tonight
Someday, oh I wish you’d want me to stay
I’ll be alright, just not tonight,
Someday

Fri, 26 Oct 2012 14:57:48 -0400

As of late, my heart has been turned off. I cannot think of it anymore.

I pour my thoughts and soul into my work, and the ‘I’ I’m training to become.

Yet… yet…

Fire continues to be played with. Boots remain muddied. Glasses have not had the fog wiped off.

I have jumped off the cliff, but I refuse to think of the fall.

If I crash, or if a bed of flowers awaits me, concerns me not.

My heart has been turned off.

“Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
Fear is a friend who’s misunderstood
But I know the heart of life is good”

Roa

THIS IS LIKE THREE BLOCKS AWAY FROM MY HOUSE.

I saw the whole process of it. It’s wonderful and impressive. Right now we have an iguana plague in Puerto Rico, since they’re not native animals.

La cabronería regresa a mí como un pájaro perdido.

Fri, 19 Oct 2012 12:45:18 -0400

Y así mismo mis sentidos regresan a mí. Vuelvo a mi misma. Encuentro mi centro que andaba perdido en otros espacios.

“Yo sé que soy fuerte, quizás un poco difícil. Tengo los ovarios bien grandes. Pero sé lo que puedo dar y me amo como soy. Y ESTA (gesto vulgar pélvico) del que me quiera cambiar. Bastante complejos tuve en la adolescencia, y me tuve que aprender a amar a to’ pulmón, y aprender a disfrutarme con todo lo que tengo. Soy feliz con lo que soy.”

… boom!

THIS. The word “gay” is not a synonym for “bad”. If it simply refers to sexual orientation, it should have no other connotation. Good or bad.

The story is another.

The characters are others.

The sets and location differ.

But the core is just the same.

I cannot find the source of these beautiful photographs, but I do adore them. Pretty prettiness.

Beach + tea + Belgian waffles + fruits = happiness. Some much needed alone time to introvert for a bit. These past few weeks have been a crazy adventure! (Taken with Instagram)

I do admit, I do admit... I sometimes move on pretty quick.

Love is Losing Game. Well, sometimes. You win some, you lose some.

Thu, 20 Sep 2012 20:02:00 -0400

Because you can’t end a relationship without some good boo-hoo-hoo songs for the night. It doesn’t matter how serious or far it got, we all need one night of sad songs.

Lesson #423

Thu, 20 Sep 2012 19:58:25 -0400

So, what almost was didn’t get to be. I am sad, but I also feel like I’m floating in the open sea on a cloudy day. I guess it’s because I understand its end, even if it didn’t come from me. As disappointed as I am, I can’t play a blame game. It was also a short-lived little fetus of a connection.

My “I am” grows stronger everyday, more than a mere “I want”. I won’t despair over someone’s mature decision to not put up with myself. We are complex human beings, not every piece fits the next, and the more we know ourselves the more we know which pieces won’t fit in the long run. I’m aware and certain it wasn’t a question of quality or “how good”, but of wisdom and discernment.

No grudges. No baggage. No losses. Just lessons, and chapters for that book.

… I still do admit to entertaining and enjoying the idea of it.

Relationships are also frustrating

Wed, 19 Sep 2012 00:20:34 -0400

Relationships are so frustratingly beautiful. All their what-if’s, maybe’s, almost’s, why’s… they wreck havoc in my awkward brain. The pleasure of the ride goes hand in hand with the complete panic and fear for the worst. And when things are finally going swell, all these little rocks from the past provide the most terrible of trips and falls.

In general, though, the ride has been perfectly lovely. I just don’t know how to do this, exactly; the handbook never made it to me. But I’ll improvise along the way…
