Ser o no ser

Cuando lei a Conrad por primera vez encontré la fórmula perfecta para entender la vida, o por lo menos parte de ella. En el famoso "vivimos como soñamos: solos", pensé que se encontraba la exageración más grande que un marinero solitario decimonónico puede escribir de manera coherente. Pensé que para escribir algo así se tuvo que perder unos meses en el Atlántico y después en una enmarañada consecución de ríos para entender que de lo que estaba huyendo era de la desgracia de su vida, pero creo que jamás estuve tan equivocado.


Uno no necesita perderse por tanto ni tan lejos para poder estar de acuerdo con tremenda afirmación. Es triste entonces que yo escriba esto justo el día que conmemoraba mi nacimiento. Pero prefiero sacarlo ahora que decidir que me acompañe por mucho tiempo. Voy a ser injusto nuevamente, pero creo que he creado tanta soledad que despedirse de ella es casi tan imposible como dejar un mal hábito o una buena adicción.


Vivimos porque es parte de nuestra naturaleza hacerlo. Es algo que no buscamos concientemente y cuando superamos ese límite natural, encontramos a la cobardía (o fortaleza) amarrándonos a la sensación de vida (dejando fuera la noción de "mas allá").

Fears

I'm afraid of becoming different. I'm fearful of one morning being another person, of thinking too much, of questioning everything and trying to get away melancholy. I'm terrified of knowing everyone, of saying hello to all those people and remembering their names, of not being timid, of being a kind and friendly person the people says I am. Of course, I am not that. I don't keep a smile on my life; neither is nice nor sexy. I am too worried about thinking all time, about the conversations with myself and the healthy practices of waking up early, reading a lot, exercise and not eat meat. What will happen to me in this way? What will I become on this road? What will I do with the vacuum of no pain? I don't want to be that handsome guy, I don't want the cute smiling I see on the mirrors every morning, I don't want to smell sweet. I don't know what is happening; I don't know what is different now. I want my obscure Mondays; I need my unsolved dramas, th...

Writing again

Dear JC, It's peculiar, isn't it, how the mind clings to memories, especially those we wish to forget? Some nights, I find myself ensnared in a web of dreams, each thread woven with echoes of you. You, who dominated my thoughts, still reign in the kingdom of my nighttime musings. I remember, with an unsettling clarity, every encounter, every word, and every smirk. The way your laughter would echo down hallways, a haunting melody that played on all my strings. The cold glint in your eyes as you found new ways to assert your dominance, your power, unyielding and absolute. In these dreams, I revisit those days, each detail meticulously preserved in the museum of my mind. The corridors, once mundane, now seem like twisted labyrinths in my dreams, with you as the ever-present Minotaur, both feared and revered. Sometimes, I wonder if you ever think of those days. Do you ever recall the weight of your words and actions? Or have they dissolved into the ether, insignificant and forgotte...
