Hagamos un trato, de Mario Benedetti.

Uno ama por el gusto de amar, de ver feliz al otro, de servir. ¡Qué más da si es correspondido! Y fuera la ansiedad de guardarse todo y no saber.

Drew this a few years ago but it’s pertinent now. So Long, Leonard. In this dark world, your light and your wit will be sorely missed.

So. Kate Leth is totally freaking amazing and this right here is why. I want to print this out and put it on my mirror and read it everything single morning because everyone should have this. Everyone should know that they deserve to be happy. That if they fight for happiness, they really will find it. Even if it isn’t what they thought they wanted. 

ps - my girl crush has grown like 500 because of this awesomeness.

Daaaamn true. A todos nos pasa, y es cierto... a veces, el dolor dura mucho más de lo que esperamos... se transforma, sin embargo, en algo bueno y positivo, que nos enseña mucho y nos permite mirar el pasado (and, perhaps, that person too) con una sonrisa.

THIS IS EVERYTHING.

[samnbk]

There is nothing rational about being in a relationship, betting on love. That is, of course, If you define rational as seeking out that which doesn’t harm you. Complicate your life. Change. A relationship is complicated. Requires work. It is inevitably going to face death: the death that change implies. A life that wasn’t. A life that used to be, but now isn’t. But what’s ridiculous is not this notion of a relationship, but rather the notion of rationality: expecting that it could be any different. Expecting that it could be static. Frozen forever in time. It can’t. Love can’t. Life can’t. There will always be loss. Even in success. Even in happiness. Nothing is ever certain. No one is ever certain. That is a fact. Now, if one must learn to deal with this fact –which is for many, of course, a point of controversy–, what are the relevant questions one must ask? What are the type of solutions that one must design? When love becomes change, when love becomes loss, when love becomes death, love too becomes an enterprise. An adventure. A journey. An eternal construction. There’s is never a there, there. Except for a kiss. A smile. A glance of pride: we’ve made it this far. Want to go again? Love isn’t a picture, but a film. Many films. It’s many stories. Sometimes with the same person. Hopefully –many of us think– with the same person. It’s always ending, and it’s always beginning. It’s always becoming. Love is. Living is. That’s why it is about construction. Lessons learned. Memories acquired. Tasks surpassed. Projects completed. Wisdom. Empathy. Solidarity. Companionship. Imagination. The tools of emotional builders. Not because there is no destruction, but because even in destruction, one creates meaning. Love is the creation of meaning even in the face of destruction. Love is transcendence. It’s the ability to find beauty where there is none. Faith when darkness reigns. Life in death. Love.

Mínima reflexión del libro y su historia.

Apareció un día el hombre en la faz de la tierra. El hombre fue generando conocimiento, que fue transmitido de generación a generación por medios orales. Se inventó la escritura y este conocimiento pudo ser separado del individuo y transmitido en tiempo y espacio. Se fue almacenando en tabletas de piedra, pieles, rollos de papiro, libros escritos a mano. Se inventó la imprenta y el libro dejó de ser un artículo de lujo para llegar a las masas y se popularizó. Amplió su abanico de temáticas y ya no habló al vulgo no solo de Dios o de las ciencias, sino que empezó a popularizar temáticas triviales y el libro —la letra— dejó de ser tan sólo un transmisor de conocimiento para volverse fuente de información y de entretenimiento para el mundo.
