Meeting people is easy !?¿


"If you have been rejected many times in your life, then one more rejection isn't going to make much difference. If you're rejected, don't automatically assume it's your fault. The other person may have several reasons for not doing what you are asking her to do: none of it may have anything to do with you. Perhaps the person is busy or not feeling well or genuinely not interested in spending time with you. Rejections are part of everyday life. Don't let them bother you. Keep reaching out to others. When you begin to receive positive responses then you are on the right track. It's all a matter of numbers. Count the positive responses and forget about the rejections."

Thank you Thom, see you on Tuesday!

Envidia

Siento que la distancia entre aquello que pude haber sido y lo que soy se incrementa, y no hay vuelta atrás. No hay posibilidad de recuperar el tiempo perdido. La frustración ahoga mis venas. Siempre seré una huérfana de amores no vividos.

Sensación extraña: imagino que soy ella, cierro los ojos y la veo reflejada en el interior de mis párpados, impresa en mi retina. No sé quien es ella, pero quiero ser ella.

Para qué engañarme: siento envidia.

Tercer milenio

El mundo se uniformiza ante nuestros ojos; los medios de comunicación progresan; el
interior de los apartamentos se enriquece con nuevos equipamientos. Las relaciones humanas se vuelven progresivamente imposibles, lo cual reduce otro tanto la cantidad de anécdotas de las que se compone una vida. Y poco a poco aparece el rostro de la muerte, en todo su esplendor. Se anuncia el tercer milenio.

(Michel Houellebecq - Ampliación del campo de batalla)

Auster II

"Every life is inexplicable, I kept telling myself. No matter how many facts are told, no matter how many details are given, the essential thing resists telling. To say that so and so was born here and went there, that he did this and did that, that he married this woman and had these children, that he lived, that he died, that he left these books or this battle or that bridge - none of that tells us very much. No one can cross the boundary into another - for the simple reason that no one can gain access to himself"

Auster, The locked room
