confesiones de un mordeuñas
Las he visto de lo más peor. Sangrando y al rojo vivo. Reconozco a los mios, así que no me sorprende comprender porqué entiendo el aspecto visual de ver uñas comidas hasta el punto en que ya no se puede comer más porque si no no habría uña que morder o comer, ahí usted elija…

Querida T II
Sigo intentando no pensar en tí. Sí, es una locura. Entre más lo intento, más te presiento. Lo curioso de todo es como la mera idea de tí llena mi alma de sensaciones inexplicables cuya procedencia es un misterio. En sí eres un mistero. O una efimeridad de casi ya tres años. Como quisiera que…

Querida T
He decidido no pensar más en tí. En sí es un gran sacrificio. Come on, think about it. How can one stop thinking about you? No que lo haya logrado aún. Pero me lo tengo propuesto. Como un alcohólico se propone todos los días dejar de beber. Y amanece con la cruda realidad de volver…

Respect is one of those curious emotional constitutions that are sought after by the teaching community. Teachers by and large seek it as a form of recognition & acceptance that their profession is taken seriously by all those involved in the teaching community. Teachers, students, administrators and society at large. This sought after respect manifests…

Off…

A million conversations unsaid
You know how many situations I have imagined were I speak to you? Just about every time I decide I should confess to you my feelings. Which are many. Or the many times I want to send you roses, how have those times been?

El refugio
I seek refuge from you in these words. I’d rather write down every feeling I get from you than to express them directly. I think it wouldn’t be such a great loss or maybe it will be. I have feelings for you. Feelings I don’t understand and which are painful, desgarradores; hermosos y terribles a…

Convencido
Estoy convencido de muchas cosas pero menos de esto de escribir. Le he perdido la fe. Hace mucho que no escribo como esos anteayeres en que la palabra era un acto divino. Divino porque podía transportar un momento de vida a cierta hora, día, semana a un minuto, segundo y experiencia a otro momento en…

Repeat
Repeat after me: I live in a small town with limited sources of entertainment. It is no use to accelerate the urges that cry out for stimuli. Though what you see elsewhere, i.e., in/on the internet, should not be a source of food for said urgencies. Calm down. Your time will come. Breathe in and…
