You

Having you in my life makes me feel more than alive; is like having that last piece of the puzzle,  the one that makes it all complete. 
It's hard not to believe in destiny when I'm so sure fate brought us here.  

Every time we talk I feel this connection,  this need to be with you,  to hold you,  cherish you, to let you feel my body as I feel yours. 
Hearing your voice and seeing you makes it more real; the beating of my heart gets stronger, the blood rushes fiercely through my veins making me feel warm and in need of your touch. 

There are times when I'm shaking so much I can barely speak,  all I can do is feel,  let that connection between us take control and picture you here with me, doing every single thing we say,  letting you see my need for you, for your touch and this crazy kind of love are real.  

Hopefully fate will let us share more than just this, for I cannot conceive the idea of living my life without knowing how it would be to feel your desire buried inside of me, taking what's yours and giving me what's mine even if it's just for a brief moment in time.

Whispers

I don't remember much of your face, I guess time has shadowed your features. At times, I believe I've forgotten everything but the memories strike me again,  like a lost lighting searching for the lost storm… my mind finds those eyes filled with desire, undressing me and touching me, owing me with just one glance,  making my skin shiver,  making me long for your hands and their touch. 

The way your lips were half parted while your eyes were set on my mouth & your thumb was tracing my bottom lip making me exhale, trembling,  almost begging you to seal my agony with your kisses… 
Your nose inhaling my scent, your breathing & the warmth of our bodies still fully clothed but so naked in our minds, burning, wanting. Your voice whispering dreams, creating secrets & locking you in my mind, engraving your name in my soul forever. 

I might have forgotten your face but not  what you made me feel, your scent is still lingering in me,  drowning me, dragging me back to the nights where your arms were my haven.

Hectic Thoughts

Note to "YOU":
Consider this to be a compilation of thoughts & feelings stored in the depths of my mind. 
The way we "met" couldn't have been more random, definitely a proof that destiny does exist. 
Back then I didn't imagine what you could ever mean to me; how a game, a challenging question and a silly answer would be the beginning of a new chapter in the book of my life. I'm writing to let these feelings get out of my mind, to let you read what I don't dare to share. 

I love you in several ways, especially when I'm alone. 
I love you all the time, every day since the -only- time I saw your smiling face. I love you ever since even though I shouldn't. 


I love you when you're busy, when you're distant, when you're away… I love you all the time cuz no matter where you are, you are here, inside of my mind, inside of my heart. I love you before I close my eyes when I'm ready to fall asleep. I love you when all these feelings gather in my head and I cannot sleep. I love you when I wake up and I start wondering if you'll show up. 
I love you when I'm busy and suddenly my phone let's me know you're there. I love you when I wake up and the blue light is on, huge smile on my face cuz you thought of me before falling asleep. I love you cuz you're funny, sweet and crazy. I love you cuz you make me feel beautiful.

I love you cuz your hands haven't been on me and I swear you already own my body. I love you cuz your mind connects with mine in a mysterious and magical way and I feel like I've known you forever. I love you even though you went away and I tried to pretend you didn't exist. I love you cuz I feel it's a blessing to have met you.

I love you cuz when you came back it was like if you have never left. I love you cuz we might not be meant for "do or die" but we were meant to "this".  I love you even when I know you're not being honest, I love you even though it hurts.
I love you in secret; I love you when I'm listening to music, reading or whenever I'm writing. I love you now when I know we haven't met. I love you now when I'm afraid to show you this. I love you in many ways, some might be good, some might be bad, but I love you with honesty. 

I love you in my dreams, the ones I dream while being awake. I love you in my fantasies, in my stories, in our messages.
I love you when you're with her or when I'm with him cuz it's not about them but about all this. 
I love you cuz you aren't real, cuz this version of you exists only in me.
I love you in the only way I know; I love you in silence and with all my words.


I hope my words aren't much more than you can take. I just got so many "I love you's" stored in my head and I needed them out. If this whole thing is indeed too much, just remember to be gentle as I'm not the kind of woman who vents her feelings that easily.

Deepest shade of blue...

December was a tough month for me, I guess most of the issues I've been denying in the past just came up to slap me hard on the face.

Dunno exactly what's "wrong" or what's bothering me the most... it could be the fact that I'm getting older and I'm still stuck in puberty when it comes to certain things; it could be that at times I feel like I've lost my identity cuz now I'm Mrs instead of Miss, cuz now I'm the mom of and not just myself... 

It's all bloody unclear to me cuz on one side I'm grateful for everything I've got, God has been extremely good to me, I cannot complain and I know I should feel ecstatic and unbelievably blessed... but on the other side I feel shattered, afraid, lost and even empty at times...

Last April when I visited my family in Mexicali, I realized how everything had changed, how much I had missed, how much I miss every single day. It broke my heart to know that my grandpa finally looks like a grandpa; that my mom is tired and in desperate need of some awesome holidays; that my nieces and nephews are growing so fast; that my cousins don't really know what to talk to me about cuz we've gone in different paths and we simply don't know each other anymore; that the only friends I have there are the ones I keep in touch with via Facebook or WhatsApp; that I've missed both joy and sadness, laughter and tears, that my choice of moving my life to The Netherlands separated me forever from the ones I grew up with...

Sometimes I feel I have no ground anymore, I'll always be too Mexican for Dutchieland and way too European for Mexico. If "Home is where the heart is" then I dunno where my place is anymore. Right now my chest feels empty, I feel homeless. 

I hope January and 2014 bring me back to the ground, so far I'm experiencing a difficult start but at least I've accepted the fact that it was my choice and I have no regrets in that matter, I simply wish I could visit more often, that whenever I get the chance to be there with them, they could see how much it means to me to be able to visit and how much I like to pretend I'm back "home".

Letter

I wonder why I keep on trying to have something with you we'll obviously never have. I don't know how to be myself around you cuz most of the times it seems like I'm being rejected, simply not accepted. 
During all the time we've been together I've tried and done my best to adapt to your life, culture and surroundings. It's been bloody hard to feel I've done it all in vain.
You might wonder why, well I know this isn't a competition but I do believe we haven't been that even. 

I'm running out of words, which is so weird in me. I miss the person I used to be but I'm afraid of being romantic, silly & playful around you cuz your reactions aren't what I'd like to see, guess I'm the one to blame cuz I knew things could be that way and still I went for "this". I don't regret the time we've shared but I'm not sure I'm gonna be capable of enduring much more of what you call love as our visions and meanings of that word are so totally different.

Wish we could find a middle ground, a place where I could look at you and be able to match your words with your actions.
I'm sorry if my actions are nothing but reactions to your strange way of showing me you care. I wish I was easier, I wish I'd need less, I wish I didn't care but I do.

"Relato de un eclipse"

Hace casi diez años escribí esto. Tiene errores y cosas que podría corregir pero prefiero dejarlo tal y como es, porque fue así como lo escribí.

No creí que fuera verdad que existen momentos escritos en las estrellas; no lo creía y a veces quisiera poder decir que no sé si fue bueno creerlo. No buscaba nada, al menos no contigo, al menos no en ti, o bueno, al menos eso creí. Iba sólo soñando, pensando en mi cielo, en ese que existe en mi mundo, el mundo azul que sólo existe en mi universo. Iba intentando descubrir señales, algo que me dijera que sí existe el destino; una palabra que me supiera a verdad; una verdad que no se volviera mentira; una mentira que tarde o temprano me lastimaría.

        Caminaba en mi mundo azul por algún sendero de mi solitario existir, pensando sólo en destino, pensando sólo en vivir. A veces creo que me perdí, pero sé que no fue así, al menos no hasta que me enamoré de ti. Los caminos suelen ser largos y los senderos de soledad y de tristeza -que a veces parecen ser interminables y en verdad llegan a ser insoportables- absorbían mi sentir; pero al andar entre ellos, vagando por su inmensa obscuridad recordé mis ganas de soñar, mis ganas de creer que todo puede cambiar, y fue entonces que me topé con una vereda, un pequeño sendero en el que sí podía ver mi andar. No sé por cuanto tiempo caminé en él y mucho menos sé explicar en que momento entraste también tú en esa vereda –después de todo yo tan sólo iba caminando por mi mundo, soñando y pensando, mirando mi cielo en mi pequeño universo, tan sólo queriendo creer en destino, tan sólo esperando encontrar la luz que me dejara ver todo lo que yo llevaba conmigo-. Yo que siempre fui noche no pude evitar lo atrayente de nuestro encuentro; tanta luz me embelesó, tu sol simplemente me cegó. No pensé que la noche y el día pudieran unirse en mi vida. Llegaste de pronto a mi mundo y lo eclipsaste; por un corto tiempo tu sol y mi luna nos dejaron ver lo mejor, y al final también lo peor de los dos.

        Tu sol me mostró mi ser; me enseñó que puedo llegar a ser mucho más de lo que todos quieren y pueden ver, y que existen dentro de mi mil sentimientos y sensaciones que puedo compartir. Mi universo se volvió tu terreno, mi azul mundo tu guarida, y tal vez fue así porque también tú huías de la soledad; en realidad sólo sé que te quedaste ahí conmigo y que junto a mi también fuiste feliz; y así como tu sol se volvió mi luz, mi luna se tornó en tu reflejo, el espejo en que te podías ver sin máscaras.

        En mi mundo encontraste el lugar en el que nadie te exigía nada, y por un tiempo nos dejamos llevar por esos momentos. Me aferré a ti porque ya no quería ser sólo una noche más; me gustó ser tu noche y que tú fueras mi día. Ese eclipse me dejó lo que hasta hoy ha sido mi mayor pasión, los recuerdos de todos esos momentos en los que mi corazón y todo mi ser por primera vez amó.

        Mientras estuviste en mi mundo supe que no le temía a la oscuridad, sino al encontrar tanta luz y aprender a resplandecer, para luego quedarme de nuevo en medio de la oscuridad pero ya sin el destello del que fue mi sol, y aprender a brillar siendo sólo luna, una luna que fase tras fase busca sentirse completa sabiendo que ya sólo brilla  porque descubrió y vivió el amor cuando dejó que aquel sol entrara e iluminara su corazón.

        Tal vez tu sol siga brillando -porque un sol no ocupa de una luna para hacerlo- mientras que esta luna ya no brilla por la luz de ese sol, ahora sólo lo hace por la luz que el recuerdo de ese sol dejó por siempre en su interior. Tu sol eclipsará más vidas y aprenderá –si sabe ser inteligente- de sus reflejos en algún otro universo. Tal vez se topará siempre con lunas –ya que le gusta ser quien más brilla- pero en algún momento se dará cuenta de que su destino no está en iluminar las noches oscuras, sino en aprender a convivir con otros como él, otros que sólo saben ser día.

        Espero que aquel que fue mi sol no se tope con un sol que se sepa y crea más brillante que él porque entonces –a base de llanto y penas- aprenderá que al querer ser sólo día uno de los dos soles deberá ceder y dejar de brillar ya que sólo hay lugar para uno en el día; tendrá que dejar atrás su altanería y descubrirá que no es el deslumbrar lo que te hace amarlo, sino la capacidad de destellar sin lastimar cuando se deja ver eclipsado.

        En mi pequeño universo se encuentra mi mundo tan azul como siempre, y ahí permanece guardado ese fragmento de nuestras vidas en el que juntos sincronizamos el tiempo y logramos juntos un eclipse que pudo llegar a ser perfecto. Sigo siendo noche –y aunque cambiante fase tras fase- mi luna sigue brillando bien, bien y ya sin ti; descubrió después de mucho llorar que a ella no le interesa ser sólo el reflejo de una luz que ama ser cegadora; a esa luna le gusta más iluminar tan sólo un poco la oscuridad que es parte de su noche porque le fascina ver las estrellas y buscar en ellas ese escrito en donde de verdad se leen fragmentos del destino y de la perfección que puede vivirse y sentirse en un fugaz, mágico e inolvidable momento en el tiempo.

        En el que un día también fue tu universo, aquel en el que construimos un mundo nuevo, descifré lo que había estado escrito no sé por cuanto tiempo en mi cielo. Supe del sol que me ayudaría a encontrar mi luna para que mi noche no volviera a estar oscura, ese sol que eclipsaría con amor y con pasión mi vida; y ahora sé bien porque dejé atrás ese sendero de soledad y de tristeza y me permití disfrutar de lo mágico de aquella nueva vereda, esa en la que me topé con la luz de tu sol; en donde me dejé llevar guiándome sólo por las ganas de creer que era posible que siendo yo noche y tu día nuestra necesidad de amar, de sentir y de dejar sólo de existir para aprender a vivir dejara que un eclipse uniera –aunque sólo por un fragmento de tiempo- tu vida y la mía.

        Yo siempre seré noche, y tú seguirás siendo día y sé que ambos nos encontraremos –en algún otro momento de nuestras vidas- con quien dejar de ser noche y día para compartir juntos un eclipse que dure toda una vida.

Of bubbles & more...

Feelings & emotions are strange things that accumulate in your mind and heart for a reason. Sometimes the reason disappears but the feelings remain causing pain and then memories. 
When you keep a lot of things in the depths of your heart -memories that belong only to you & to the one you've shared 'em with- it can be so hard to just let 'em go, therefore you let 'em there, you let 'em linger... but then there are those times when you wish so bad to relive certain moments, the chance to turn some memories into dreams... 

Have you ever had a constant dream for months, a dream that was far from pleasant because it started nice and always ended sad? Always same pattern, you and him wanting to talk and then you just couldn't understand what he wanted to say & then things changed and the chance was gone, just as he was. Waking up just to know he's not longer part of your life.

Time passes and all of the sudden you're writing things you never sent, finding yourself doodling his name without even realizing what you were doing; thinking over and over again about the last moment, wondering what you did wrong to send him away. Accumulating questions without answers, simply hating the awfully loud silence...
Time tames an aching heart and you just let everything hanging there, at times you even think you've forgotten all about it, you feel like it just doesn't matter anymore. Guess you try to ignore as you've been ignored. 

Have you ever felt all those feelings reappear by just a simple message? Just few words that probably mean nothing to someone else, but to you they meant he thought of you, that he also saved some memories. Funny how you can't help to feel so happy but so scared of replying because you don't want to spoil the moment, you don't want to say the wrong thing and see him go again. You plan you message thinking of a neutral way of saying you care without caring too much, you delete it and type it again, you press send and your heart becomes a mess, suddenly you are in the hands of uncertainty and all you can do is wait, wait to see if he'll reply or if he just needed to know you were still alive. Time passes so slowly you start to think you've missed the chance, you were too late... and then you get what you've been wanting, his words are back, your smile is back, the feelings are back but in a twist of emotions you just don't know what to say or do, you just shut down and go with the flow, you promise yourself you'll be honest and just say whatever you're thinking. Hoping this isn't a joke, hoping his feelings are as real as yours are.
At the end you realize you're going to do whatever your heart tells you to 'cause what matters is that he's there for you as he once was and you let his words soothe your mind because suddenly your soul feels complete again. 
Somehow he's that to you, the weird link to a missing part of yourself. Your soul feels alive 'cause he brings back things you can only feel whenever he's around, the clear bond of soulmates.

Emptiness!

It seems like ages since the last time we talked, I wish you could just show up again. I have a hard time dealing with all this, I can't sleep, I can't find my peace of mind. 

I'm thankful for the time God let you be in my life, I just wish I could've told you more often how much you meant to me, cuz now you're just gone & it feels like all the words are stuck in my throat and I just can't seem to be able to breathe the same way without you.
If I could just know you're fine, maybe this whole bunch of feelings would be a bit easier for me to handle.

I dunno what to say, I just miss you so bloody much! My smile has faded away, I miss the bubbles & the magic you brought into my life. I miss my friend, I miss you, I really miss you loads ♥ 

In common...

There are many things that happen when two people meet; sometimes a kind of magic happens and those two fantasize about being in love.

I'd lie if I knew how many times it has happened to me in my 33 years of life, I'm only aware of 3 times, I guess the rest wasn't so important...

If I want to be honest, then I can only talk from my own perspective. To me falling in love has always been this crazy-magical-awesomely-weird moment. The kind of feeling that awakes other feelings, emotions I thought they could only exist in movies. Yeah, I've always been this silly-romantic-dreamy kind of woman. 

The times that I've fallen in love with someone, have all been pretty different, but they all have something in common... the type of man I've fallen for seems to be alike. Dreamer, funny, silly, adorable, in need of a hug or something like that...

Since they all have shared my "love" I happened to have shared their way of being, and here's the one I hate the most: all the men I've fallen for are kind of scared of facing me with the truth when I've asked them for it. 

I wonder why that is, it's not like my feelings can disappear in a second and turn into hatred just cuz of hearing the truth.

Today has been one of those days where I like to think of the patterns I've followed in life to be where I am. I have no regrets, every single thing I've done -either good or bad- has taken me to a happy place. I'm content with my life, although I can't deny that now and then I wish I could change a couple of things, just to improve my wrongs.

So, hmm funny how the men in my life shared not only a few memories with me, but also their character & parts of their personalities.

Somewhere In Bubbleland...

Wish I could explain what I've been feeling lately but I guess certain things are better left unsaid.
I can't say that I'm proud of whom I've become, but I can't say that I regret who I am now either...

The way I see everything that has been going on lately, well I've basically just been enjoying myself, enjoying what life has been giving me; days filled with joy & happiness! 
I've been feeling so alive & to me that's something worth enjoying... A blessing!

Life's full of magic, sometimes we just get "lucky" enough & we're granted a ticket to a magical world. I've gotten mine, funny thing is, it took me all the way to Bubbleland. 
I've been there a few times, haven't gotten the chance to explore it completely but so far I'm loving what I've been able to see.

Like everything magical, I'm not counting on "forever", I'm simply letting myself go with the flow & embrace every single chance I'm getting; after all, Bubbleland it's just a magical world where I feel cherished & happy.
I know one day the magical bubble will burst, as all bubbles do, but this is not about sadness, this is about life & its chances.
I've always believed that you gotta let yourself go to find who you are & what you want, if all this isn't worth trying then I guess I didn't deserve that ticket at all.

Half of a soul...

I wonder where and when can I let this sort of emptiness fade away; ♪I feel it all around, the sound of missing you, the silence is so loud♪ (Wildboyz ft. Ameerah - The Sound Of Missing You), just wonder if these phrases show too much of me, if they let you see what I feel...

Wish I could put into words what this whole situation means to me, I guess I can't cuz there's a part of my soul missing, living somewhere else...
I promised myself that December was going to be the closure of this "brief story" but somehow it kept on showing up in my mind; I wrote a lot during December & January, most of it a secret conversation between you & my soul. I wrote you lots of letters, one said something about how it was time to accept the fact that there's no point on wanting the 2 parts to get together when each of them has taken its path in the world; sometimes I simply wrote notes, telling you I miss you, I wish we could talk. 
Yesterday I had a  serious conversation with soul while being pretty drunk. I guess she knows that even when she finally let go half of herself, she will always be able to find her other half in songs.

I'd like to be able to tell this story better, but I can't. The soul has only dreamt  of feeling whole once, aiming for a perfectly imperfect wholeness. One that was never meant for DO or DIE; a kind of ALL & EVERYTHING that could never be certain; something worth dreaming of... 
I wish things would've been different, that fear wouldn't have conquered your mind. I wonder what was going through your head to act so unexpected. All I know is that it really happened, it meant more than what you or me will ever want to admit. It could've been the beginning of a journey in this weird game where you win when you find your soulmate. 

Music... it always talks about you, they all sing to our shared soul... ♪You gave me more to live for, more than you'll ever know♪ (Jeff Buckley-Last Goodbye); the title of that one kinda says it all, right?

When You Wish Upon a Star ♪

When it comes to dreams I can say that two of my biggest dreams have come true.

Today's a very special day for me and I feel immensely blessed! My husband Getjan & I are celebrating 5 years of being married, but that's not the only reason to feel so happy. 



On the beginning of Sunday, 00:54 to be exact, August 28th God gave me the opportunity of witnessing a miracle, the birth of my daughter.
Since I was 20 weeks along in my pregnancy my husband and I knew we were expecting a baby girl, she became our Blueberry; we started looking for possible names until we found two that we liked Skylah Shylie.



There are a lot of things a new mom could tell about her baby, or about the experience of giving birth, to me it's all said with one word "miracle". All I know is that I spent half of my life praying to one day be able to become a mom, that I've struggled and almost given up on the idea; that God listened to my prayers and last December I was finally able to conceive and that almost eight complete months of 2011 went by 'til I could kiss the beautiful face of Skylah.


There's nothing on this Earth that can compare to the ocean of emotions I felt when she was resting on my chest after working hard with me to leave my womb.  

I started this post talking about dreams, I can say that God has given me much more that I deserve, He's given me a great man that loves me just as I am, a wonderful & hairy canine son, Weechee, & God has blessed us given us our daughter Skylah. The only thing left for me to do is to pray so both of my dreams have nothing but happy endings. 
Funny how someone can get all they ever dreamed of and more by just looking up to the sky searching for the right star.

32nd Birthday

On April 30th, 1979 my mom gave birth to me; that was the beginning of my life as Carmen Angélica Peregrina Carcach... now 32 years later and an extra last name I've realized that a lot has changed and a lot is still the same. 



Changes... well I moved far far away 'cause I married a redhead whose mother tongue is pretty uncommon, I live in a 3 bedroom apartment on the 10th floor on a town with a funny name that my mom can't pronounce (Uithoorn), I've seen places I used to dream of when I was little... *sighs* 

Still the same... I'm still grumpy, tend to say what I think or feel (yup good and/or bad), I'm complicated but easy going =P, stubborn & impatient...



I guess at the end, today what matters are the reasons for me to feel so happy; this birthday was much more special than any other and it all comes down to one reason, my Blueberry, my daughter...

Things might change or stay the same, but one thing is for sure, the love that I have for this wonderful little person growing inside of me goes beyond my imagination. Words can't express how much I love her father and knowing she's part of both of us, part of the love we both share for one another makes it even better.

This year has been wonderful, I might be older, I might be complicated and grumpy but I'm one of the happiest pregnant women on Earth at this very moment 'cause while I'm typing my daughter is letting me know she's there.

Blueberry

I've been waiting to write this post for several reasons, I guess the biggest of them was fear. Today I went to the doctor, today has become one of the BEST days of my life; why? Well... today I've heard the most significant sound in my world, the heart beat of my baby.


 There aren't words that can describe how wonderful & amazing those feelings are. All I know is that I've never heard something as beautiful as that. To me the sound is simply the most perfect symphony ♥



Blueberry is only 10 weeks old, but so much has changed since he/she arrived. I don't see myself as Angie the crazy one that can do whatever she wants, now I gotta think twice before doing something, now I'm not Angie the wife, now I'm Blueberry's Carrier... which basically means I gotta be careful, eat healthier (whenever the bloody hormones let me eat cuz gosh I can't stand sooo many things at the moment), think more about him/her than about me; for someone as selfish as me that can be difficult, but I gotta say that it has been easier than I thought.

Anyhow, I just wanted to share the news, this is officially the first post I do about my baby; I'm sure this is just the beginning of many more. Here I share the very first pic of Blueberrin when he/she looked more like a peanut ♥

Lately

It's been a long time since I wrote in my blog, the reason is simple, I've been really focused on something super important for me. Anyways, today seems to be a great excuse to share my thoughts.

Basically I just wanna say "Thank You Lord, for Your endless love". I'm going through a very important stage in my life, and I can't believe how happy & thankful I feel. Thanks to all the wonderful people that cares for me, thanks for being there & for sharing not only my laughter but also my tears. 

Love each and one of you deeply ♥

Blue Days...

Some say dates aren't important, some say days are just days... to me there are days in this month that mean a lot; today's one of those days, and more than sharing the reason why, I'd simply like to remember what lies in the depths of my memory.

On a day like today I discovered the deepest shade of blue ever; I never saw such color before that unforgettable moment...
The magic that wrapped that day carved its date deep into my heart, transforming it forever. 
Years will keep on going by, my heart will keep on collecting great memories, but nothing could ever replace that one. There's a song that says "the first cut is the deepest" I tend to agree with it.

The News According To...

This post is dedicated to the man I love the most, my lovely & wacko hubbie Getjan.

Today Janjan was busy watching the news and me -as usual- interrupted his concentration to ask what had happened in China; my man -who's pretty annoyed cuz of the bloody flu- answer in a sour-ish super annoyed mood "I don't know, I'm watching the same you are" O_o hahahah, if it wasn't cuz I know him & cuz the flu is also killing me I would've made drama, instead I simply laughed, punched him on the shoulder & gave him the Mexican eyes that mean "don't be rude".

Anyways, going back to the main point... we were watching the news & this time I was quiet paying attention; the news were over so I starting sapping 'til I stopped in Travel Channel, they were talking about Jordan, Syria & Lebanon and we started one of our classic serious conversations:

Angie (excited and romantic): "Look hun, we gotta go there" right after that the image of a man with an AK47 appeared...
Janjan (in sarcastic mood but still feeling he's watching the news): "Right, we "GOTTA" go there..." 
Angie (feeling frustrated) "Argh, look at it from another perspective, it's beautiful (talking about the desert & stuff)" 
Janjan (being realistic & historical): "It might be beautiful but they're always at war, they support Palestine so you know how that is" 
Angie (rolling eyes cuz Mr. Know It All had talked): "I support Palestine too!" -not the war but their point anyhow- And here, exactly here was his brilliant comment and one of the reasons why I love him so bad ♥ 
Janjan (anchorman + smart-ass mood): "Yeah, you "support" Palestine but you don't launch rockets from your living room"  *PLOP* hahahaha, oh my God he made me laugh =D 
I wonder how the news would be if Getjan worked as an anchorman ♥ Ik hou van je Poekie, je bent mijn alles ♥

In My Thoughts Forever...

Dearest Boo:

This is the last time I write to you, not cuz I don't want to but cuz I don't have any other choice. Wish you could read my words & send me one of your classic messages, the kind of message that always put a smile on my face.

Four days ago while I was sleeping & dreaming you showed up in my dream. It was nice to see you again, it had been a long time since the last time we saw each other so I smiled & you did too. You told me "It's been a long time eh My? I'm glad we didn't fight this time. I've missed you"... How was I supposed to know I would only be able to hear your voice in dreams from now on. 

I'm so sorry for the way things went between us; you know I've apologized before for the way I behaved with you, I know I hurt you & it really sucks to know that you didn't deserve any of it. Just wanna say that I'm thankful & blessed cuz you took my broken heart in your hands and tried to mend it. 

Thanks for stopping by in my dream and tell me "Goodbye"; I never thought of this moment, it really hurts to know you're gone... I'm gonna miss you a lot, our e-mails, our classic fights, your crazy way of turning things around and made me feel guilty about arguing with you... I loved you & love you still, maybe not in the way you wanted but I swear I've always had. 

Thanx for everything Boo, the moments we shared will always remain.  

P.S. Do you remember how we shared our love for orchids? That was the topic of our first conversation ♥

Wishing...

I won't say your name not cuz I'm ashamed of putting it between my lips but cuz I know it's not needed. You're simply one of the people I've loved the most, I care for you & you'll always be important to me no matter how far we are from each other.
It hurts me to see you holding your broken heart between your hands, it sucks to know that no matter what I say your heart won't stop bleeding. 

Just want you to know that even when I'm not there to give you a hug and let you cry in my shoulder not a day goes by that I don't wish I could do something to make you feel better.

I could tell you the classic things, you know? The shit people always says when your heart is broken, but I know they're nothing but crap; old crap we both know well. I won't say those classic words this time, instead I'll just let you know you can count on me. I promise I'll listen without judging you & that I'll do m y best to draw a smile on your face. I'm sure the day will come when your heart doesn't feel the pain in such a bad way & when that time comes I'll be there for you, to laugh, to celebrate that the wound has healed. 

Love you lots ♥

P.S. Wish I could take away your pain & fill in your heart with joy. Just know I'm always with you.

El perdón y las costras...

Esta es la historia de una niña sumamente orgullosa a la que le costaba mucho, pero mucho trabajo el pedir perdón. No crean que le era difícil sólo por el orgullo, en realidad el problema de esa personita va mucho más allá del sentimiento de vulnerabilidad. Resulta ser que para ella el reconocer la metida de pata era algo relativamente fácil, es decir, cuando se le pasaba la histeria podía ver con claridad que había sido grosera o que había lastimado a alguien; aquí el problema no era el reconocerlo sino el poder expresarlo sin sentir que la otra persona quisiera restregarle en la cara el hecho de haberla regado. 

Esa niña orgullosa le dió por nombre a ese sentimiento "la costra". Las razones son simples; para ella el haber lastimado a alguien que quiere, venía -inevitablemente- acompañado de un sentimiento de culpa que causaba automáticamente una herida; esta herida empezaba a curarse con el tiempo que la niña dejaba pasar para poder buscar las palabras adecuadas y disculparse con la "certeza" de que su falta le sería perdonada cuando la persona afectada escuchara la sinceridad en sus palabras. 
La niña orgullosa repasaba una y otra vez la forma de decir las cosas y la forma en la que ella creía que la otra persona reaccionaría. Cuando por fin llegaba el día en que la niña tenía el valor necesario para tragarse el miedo al rechazo, y que se animaba a pedir disculpas de la manera más sincera que ella conocía pasaba lo que ella tanto temía. La otra persona empezaba por criticar el comportamiento pasado y  feo que la niña había tenido; ella aguantaba, trataba de evitar una reacción negativa porque sabía que en cierta forma se merecía esas palabras; pero como toda herida al cicatrizar hace costra, las palabras de reclamo de la otra persona eran como uñitas que que le rascaban y le rascaban a esa costrita formada. La niña seguía intentando soportar sin decir nada, pero recordemos que ella es muy orgullosa y el orgullo -casi siempre- viene acompañado del instinto de preservación que te hace subir la pared de la autodefensa, generelamente haciéndote atacar de nuevo... y lo que debió haber sido una disculpa sincera acabó en una costra removida que en lugar de dejar la cicatriz de la enseñanza y del arrepentimiento, deja una herida más grande que requiere mucho más tiempo en crear costra y ganas de mostrar el lado arrepentido. 

A esa niña la conozco bien, vive en esa parte de mi a la que le cuesta trabajo mostrarse vulnerable; esa parte que ama fingir frialdad y que se esconde en la trivialidad de su triste realidad. 
No es que no le guste pedir perdón, lo que no le gusta es que no la dejen intentarlo.
