Mafalda te amo

 

Si las heridas del alama se pudiesen curar poniendose una curita, seríamos menos los que andamos por el mundo con alguna herida abierta... Lo máximo Mafalda! Me encanta!!! 

Why won't you let me?

- I'm trying to love you.. why won't you let me?

- My ex... was um... He took something from me. He took little pieces of me, little pieces over time, so small I didn't notice, you know? He wanted me to be something I wasn't and I made myself into what he wanted. I lost myself for a long time and now, that I'm finally me again... I love you more than I loved him, I love you and that scares the crap out of me!

Why?!

I miss you... I freaking miss you!!

I know that what I had with you,
I will never have it with anyone else...

Why I had to dream about you?
Why were we together?
Why you had to say we would be together forever,
and that your love would only be mine?!
Why we slept together?

But those are not the questions I want to ask...
All I want to know is why it was only a dream?!
Why I miss you the way I do?
Why I need you the way I do?
You were the one, and I know it...
Why did I let you go?!
Why?!

How to Really LOVE a Child

Be there.  Say Yes as often as possible.  Let them bang on pots and pans.  If they're crabby, put them in water.  If they're unlovable, love yourself.  Realize how important it is to be a child.  Go to a movie theater in your pajamas.  Read books out loud with joy.  Invent pleasures together.  Remember how really small they are.  Giggle a lot.  Surprise them.  Say no when necessary.  Teach feelings.  Heal your own inner child.  Learn about parenting.  Hug trees together.  Make loving safe.  Bake a cake and eat it with no hands.  Go find elephants and kiss them.  Plan to build a rocket ship.  Imagine yourself magic.  Make lots of forts with your blankets.  Let your angel fly.  Reveal your own dreams.  Search out the positive.  Encourage silly.  Plant flowers in your garden.  Open up.  STOP YELLING.  Express your love A lot.  Speak kindly.  Paint their tennis shoes.  Handle with caring.  Ride bikes together in the early morning.  Make breakfast together.  Look at the stars at night.  Use finger paints to color a smile. Feed them healthy stuff.  Make sure they always fun.  Take them for a walk to the beach.  Build sand castles.  Pretend play.  Stay late -one night- watching movies and eating popcorn.

Children are Miraculous! =)

Closing cycles...

One always has to know when a stage comes to an end. If we insist on staying longer than the necessary time, we lose the happiness and the meaning of the other stages we have to go through.

Closing cycles, shutting doors, ending chapters – whatever name we give it, what matters is to leave in the past the moments of life that have finished.

Did you lose your job? Has a loving relationship come to an end? Did you leave your parents’ house? Gone to live abroad? Has a long-lasting friendship ended all of a sudden? You can spend a long time wondering why this has happened.

You can tell yourself you won’t take another step until you find out why certain things that were so important and so solid in your life have turned into dust, just like that. But such an attitude will be awfully stressing for everyone involved: your parents, your husband or wife, your friends, your children, your sister. Everyone is finishing chapters, turning over new leaves, getting on with life, and they will all feel bad seeing you at a standstill.

Things pass, and the best we can do is to let them really go away.

That is why it is so important (however painful it may be!) to destroy souvenirs, move, give lots of things away to orphanages, sell or donate the books you have at home.

Everything in this visible world is a manifestation of the invisible world, of what is going on in our hearts – and getting rid of certain memories also means making some room for other memories to take their place.

Let things go. Release them. Detach yourself from them.

Nobody plays this life with marked cards, so sometimes we win and sometimes we lose. Do not expect anything in return, do not expect your efforts to be appreciated, your genius to be discovered, your love to be understood.

Stop turning on your emotional television to watch the same program over and over again, the one that shows how much you suffered from a certain loss: that is only poisoning you, nothing else.
Nothing is more dangerous than not accepting love relationships that are broken off, work that is promised but there is no starting date, decisions that are always put off waiting for the “ideal moment.”

Before a new chapter is begun, the old one has to be finished: tell yourself that what has passed will never come back. Remember that there was a time when you could live without that thing or that person – nothing is irreplaceable, a habit is not a need. This may sound so obvious, it may even be difficult, but it is very important.

Closing cycles. Not because of pride, incapacity or arrogance, but simply because that no longer fits your life. Shut the door, change the record, clean the house, shake off the dust.

Stop being who you were, and change into who you are.

Song...

You're yes, then you're no
You're in, then you're out
You're up, then you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up...
