Esta foto me voló la cabeza...
Sacada directamentre de las insondables bóvedas de Flickr... esta foto me dejó lelo, turulato, patidifuso, duro y pegao. No sé por qué, pero me fascinó. El texto que la acompaña es sencillamente notable. Espero que la disfruten.
Bueno... en realidad sí sé por qué me gustó tanto. Les dejo la interrogante abierta, en todo caso. El texto que la acompaña, para los que se manejan con el "gringo"...
"I am tired of meeting the same people. Different face, various heights, but the same mind and sorted personality with a few unique kinks thrown in. “I’ve heard that before, I’ve met someone like you before.” Almost no individual thought or “out of the box” developed personality. What is worse is people you meet who speak of being different, who get you excited to have met them because of their different thinking, but who turn out to be people with only thoughts but no real life action. They don’t live their life in the truth that they hold in their words or mind and from that there is a big let down for the other person who wants something real. It feels like betrayal and I feel more alone than before I had met them.
I am tired of meeting people whom I can only find their surface suitable to attach my connection to. No raw details and lines, only the glossy surface of their image.
I am caught between retreating my self from entering into more depth of any relation. I don’t connect myself to many, the only people I do actually invest effort into, are people I really feel strongly for, people I believe in, people I trust to value me as much as I value them. Can you put that much trust in human behavior? Amongst our daily self struggles and challenges, it is only normal to fluctuate in stance and manner. I accept them with everything they posses, the good and the shades of grey. Understanding that the shades of grey does not take away from who a person is but serves as a chance to grow.
If you are who you say you are, it will reflect in the space that you create in a relationship.
If you are like me, and you are not in line with the hordes of others that make up our species, then you would understand the value in keeping someone who is real and different.
It hurts when you see that you care about someone much more than they think to care for you.
Something that makes me sick, that I see so much of are these games that people will play with each other. It is so messed up. If you don’t want to talk to someone, don’t ignore their attempts to contact you. Be honest and tell them what is going on, how else are they supposed to know that what they are doing is not working for you? For all that they might be you should owe them that small amount of respect. We have created, in this modern world, excuses for ourselves to avoid direct contact with one another. We hold little respect for what we each deserve. The greatest gift you can give someone is your time, they say. Is it not enough to honor each other with an honest connection and communication for just being human?
In regards to the relationship between men and women the games get worse for the majority of people I know. Where did this idea of “you should wait a few days before you call them back” come up? When did appearance overrule personality and moral? If you don’t play games, good for you, you just earned yourself some respect. Million-dollar question “can men and women just remain friends? Yes, but the lines can easily become blurred. ” It seems more confusing if you meet someone of the opposite sex that you share lots in common with who happens to be attractive. Default feeling for most in that situation is a higher attraction than friends. Its part of your responsibility to gage where things are at, so it may be handled accurately. I see way too often, men and women speaking to a few different people at one time. Flirting, spending time together, compliments, and sweet gestures, playing with the emotions are all fine as long as you don’t have the label as “dating” plastered to your relationship, is it? Is it fair for you to only respond to them when you have no other to fill your time? We have forgotten that relationships are not entirely about self-fulfillment but rather a continuous exchange. No one is perfect, and not all lines will fall in alignment with one person. If you enter into a deeper sharing of your being and self with someone of the opposite sex, then you are agreeing to respect them and trusting them to respect you and the understanding of where the relationship stands. All it takes is to be clear and make sure that the way you are approaching the other is equal with what they are conveying to you.
On a last note, if you like someone, tell them. Not just in terms of dating but its nice to remind people, anyone, of how much you value them."

Retomando...
Ha pasado más de una año desde que publiqué algo por última vez. El bichito de la moda murió de muerte natural y ahora lo que viene es una más real necesidad de comunicación. Este post es en realidad más que nada un test de acceso a mi blog. Si todo funciona ok voy a comenzar una serie de publicaciones más habituales y enfocadas que las anteriores.
Saludos a tod@s.
