La soledad siempre me recuerda que las personas no tienen la lealtad como reciprocidad.
“There were days when she was very happy without knowing why. She was happy to be alive and breathing, when her whole being seemed to be one with the sunlight, the color, the odors, the luxuriant warmth of some perfect Southern day. She liked then to wander alone into strange and unfamiliar places. She discovered many a sunny, sleepy corner, fashioned to dream in. And she found it good to dream and to be alone and unmolested.There were days when she was unhappy, she did not know why—when it did not seem worth while to be glad or sorry, to be alive or dead; when life appeared to her like a grotesque pandemonium and humanity like worms struggling blindly toward inevitable annihilation”
— Kate Chopin, The Awakening
“One heart is not connected to another through harmony alone. They are, instead, linked deeply through their wounds. Pain linked to pain, fragility to fragility. There is no silence without a cry of grief, no forgiveness without bloodshed, no acceptance without a passage through acute loss. That is what lies at the root of true harmony.”
— Haruki Murakami
Estoy esforzándome por cambiar mis hábitos, transformar mis creencias, abrazar mis defectos, comprender mis debilidades, aceptándome centímetro a centímetro de piel, expresando mis mejores rasgos y ejercitándolos.
Hace falta más gente que piense en los demás antes que en sí misma… Porque algunos damos sin medida, y lo único que recibimos es el peso del olvido. Nos desvivimos por salvar corazones ajenos mientras el nuestro se parte en pedazos, sin que nadie lo note.

It's hard not to feel as though God is only near to us on our good days, but I can assure you that He is holding you tight in the middle of your storm. He is listening carefully to your quiet whispers of fear in the dead of the night. 💛
Maggie Smith, “Wild”, Goldenrod
Carmen Martín Gaite / Lo raro es vivir
Aloneness is a gift. A beautiful gift to the human soul. True and consistent satisfaction comes from the bond you form with yourself. Nobody else is a constant.
