Los malos.

     Con esto de las pastillas hormonales que se encuentran tratando una breve disfunción, la verdad es que los sentimientos de mi interior están a flor de piel. Esto tiene pros y contras ya que normalmente los suprimo sin darme cuenta y solamente estoy consciente de la punta del iceberg de estos. Mínimo de los malos. Así que quiero aprovechar esta situación de enojo para escribirte. Aunque no tengo intenciones de que lo leas, aunque después me tache de dramática, aunque sea moralmente incorrecto, o completamente inmaduro, aunque cuando entre en razón todo esto se me haga ridículo, hoy; HOY DE TODOS LOS DÍAS, yo tengo derecho.
Tengo derecho a decirte que a pesar de que eres tú el que está dolido, que a pesar de que me sentí culpable mucho tiempo, a pesar de que no era tu culpa estar enamorado, a pesar de que yo terminé las cosas y yo quedé como la mala persona, la que no le dio más tiempo a las cosas, la que te lastimó, la que te hizo daño, por la cual "no confías en nadie ya", por la que estuviste triste mucho tiempo, por la que a veces tal vez lloras, o tal vez hartes a la gente o por la que ya no quieras encontrar a alguien más, o por la que no quieras ir a la escuela; tú me lastimaste. Y estoy molesta. No, no estoy molesta, estoy furiosa.
Porque, seamos honestos, nadie toma en cuenta a la persona que termina las cosas o que no le hace caso a alguien. Para todos esa persona es la mala, la que no supo o no sabe valorar, la "¿cómo que lo cortaste si es tan bueno?" o "¿por qué no le haces caso si es una persona ejemplar?" cuando mcuhas veces existen fuertes razones para hacerlo. A la que le sacuden la cabeza de lado a lado porque es la culpable de muchas desgracias. ¿Y nuestros sentimientos, nuestra forma de pensar? ¿Acaso no importan? ¿Qué pasó con ser honestos? ¿Qué eso no debe ser equitativo? ¿Acaso no es mejor terminar algo a lo que no se le ve futuro o no empezar algo por lo mismo? ¿Acaso se está mal por decir la verdad? ¿Acaso tenía que mentirte cuando eso va en contra de mis principios, principios de los cuales supuestamente estabas enamorado? ¡¿Qué querías que hiciera?! Nadie, nadie toma en cuenta el "porqué" de las decisiones de la otra persona.  Somos demasiado veloces y duros para juzgar. Todo mundo te trata como si le hubieses sido infiel. Total ni haciendo las cosas bien uno puede quedar bien. Y no es el punto de todo esto, pero ¿De plano?  
¿De plano ponérmela tan difícil? ¿De plano alejarme de los amigos que estuvieron ahí antes que tú? ¿De plano hacer que las personas volteen y me vean con cara de “ojalá se arrepienta en un futuro”? ¿Tanto así? ¿Tanto así te quebré? Porque déjame decirte que fuiste tú el que me dijo que no quería ser un patán más, que no ibas a exigirme, que me ibas a querer así como así. Y lo que hiciste, ¿eso no está mal?
¿No es pecado igual haberme querido hacer a tu manera? ¿ No es pecado igual haberme juzgado? ¿No haber confiado en mí? ¿No es pecado igual haberte creado una idea de mi y que, al no cumplir tus expectativas, me lo reclamaras? ¿Eso no es lastimar? ¿Eso no duele porque yo terminé las cosas? ¡¿Eso no es nada para ti?!
Escribiéndote estas palabras me doy cuenta de algo de lo que no me había dado cuenta antes, porque estaba muy ocupada sintiéndome mal por la desdicha que había causado en tu vida como para ver la mía. Estoy enojada contigo. No quisiera estarlo, quisiera que todo hubiera sido fácil, pero ahorita, ahorita me di cuenta de que no puedo. Ahorita necesito estar enojada con el hecho de que me lastimaste, de que me sigues lastimando, de que ya no puedo estar tranquila y feliz con gente con la que antes me sentía incluida. Necesito estar enojada con el hecho de que me estás satanizando, a mi y a lo que alguna vez tuvimos. Necesito estar enojada porque a pesar de yo ser la mala del cuento, tengo el mismo derecho que tú a estar mal, a no ser “la mejor persona”.
Así que ahora te lo digo yo; no me hables. No me busques. No quiero saber de ti. Me molesta escucharte en conversaciones ajenas, me molesta que la gente diga lo bueno que eres, me molesta que la gente resalte tus cualidades porque las he intentado resaltar todo este tiempo y con la actitud que tomaste no me lo permites. En algún momento, esta actitud infantil de mi parte se quedará en el pasado, donde debe de estar. Volveré a ser la mujer que considero lo suficientemente cuerda como para quedarme callada, para ser prudente, para ser madura, no actuar como adolescente y hacer paces con el pasado, porque a fin de cuentas eso debemos hacer (si, es una directa). Pero por ahora no quiero saber nada de ti. Porque estoy enojada. Porque tú también me quitaste cosas. Porque si lo que quieres es hacerme la mala, debes saber, que los malos también lloramos.

Labels.

I was once told to not try and label things. To enjoy what was going on at the moment. To not let myself be guided by what people said or thought and that everyone had different opinions. At the time it made a lot of sense, and actually it can be applied in many situations. Examples come in many shapes and sizes: choosing a job, choosing a career, making a roadtrip, I won't make a long list so I'll just say decisions in general, and with decisions come people. When you're first dating someone, for example, everyone wants to know where you're at. And the truth is nobody has to. Nobody but you and the person you're dating that is. But obviously there always comes a time when you have to ask for advice and everyone will try to know and decide what's best for you, after all, they are your friends and loved ones. So I was once in that situation. Truth is I am in love. I wish I wasn't, I wish things were different, but they are not. I've been in love for more than two years with the same guy. Which sounds amazing.... If we were actually in a healthy relationship, or in a relationship at all. That last statement totally changed your perception on my two year sentence right? You see, here is where labels come in. We started dating for a while and things were going great, the problem was that things stayed the same, we weren't going anywhere, and the most probable thing is that they never will. No people, LOVE IS NOT ENOUGH. It is enough at first but you have to actually want to be committed to a person, you have to WANT to be there, and in a relationship it can't only be one person. So yes, sometimes you have to label things, you have to know where you're at and where things are going, only the two of you, no one else has the need to be involved, but you have to know. If they're not going where you want, get the hell out of there, because it will become worse, because you will get attached, because it will become harder to leave. So don't do it at first, let things flow for the first few dates, but be sure of what you want because putting yourself at the end is not gonna get you anywhere. Be sure of what you want, always. It is one thing to be flexible, but another thing is changing your ideals completely for a person who will not put you in a place in their life where you want to be, or who will label you with a category you don't want.

Undirected letter to you

    I'm not sure how I can start this. I know there comes a part when I'm writing where I get the flow of things, even if sometimes when I'm done the end of the text doesn't match the beginning and I find myself reading a bunch of unsettled ideas. But I have not written anything in ages, and today I felt like I had a reason to do so. I couldn't waste the opportunity, even when I have a load of homework waiting for me. I can even feel it looking at me impatiently. I lately find myself scared to write what I think and feel. Maybe because I come across the thought that I haven't written about anything interesting or of actual matter to the world in a long time; even about my career, not even for school. But it's not like people read this, and it's not like you will either, and that's probably another of the reasons (and perhaps the strongest of them) of why I'm writing this today.


"We sometimes cannot understand why a person sees us like they do". That thought came across me this morning, only followed by another thought turning the situation. That  made me understand, not fully, but widely. A person will see us in their own way only. They cannot see us like we do because they are simply not us and never will be. But you see, sometimes we are so frustrated when a person can't see our flaws the way we do, when a person believes in us in a way we can't, when the person sees so many good things in us, some not even mentioned before, and we believe that they're on some kind of drug or something. And I say this because it's happened to me both ways.  I’ve had great ideas about people and they’ve told me “I’m not that great, I’m a regular person.” But I remembered that there are times where I’ve been the one to get really frustrated when people say to see good things about me, and I’ve tried with great effort to show them the opposite. I know, crazy shit, but at the moment I get so frustrated and can't help thinking things like: "you hardly know me at all, so how would you know?". We're so scared about letting people in because we are afraid that they will eventually see our flaws the way we do. The thing is: they never will.
   We usually use the term "blinded" when a person can't see something in somebody else that is obvious. And yes, there are times when it's true. "He's so blinded by her that he doesn't realize that she is cheating", that is one of many very common examples. The thing is, a person is not "blinded" at times, they just see us with their eyes, and we're so frustrated because they can't see us with ours.  "How can she not see I'm a mess?!” “How can he not see I can hurt him?!" It's not that people don't know our flaws, it's not that people are stupid and don't know what's good for them; it's just they also see things we can't because we are not them. Sounds kind of hard to understand, but it's pretty simple actually. Think of it this way: we are so open minded in this era about the freedom of opinion and ideas when it comes to politics, religion, sports, art or science, only to mention the usual ones. Yet we are so closed to the way people perceive other people. Ever thought about it?
    So here it comes: I don't know why it is I feel this way. I know I can get hurt, every person has the power to hurt you or nobody has the power to hurt you, you can choose to see it either way. I know that there is a risk of things not working, there always is a percentage of failure in any type of situation in life, business, bets, games, interviews, everything. I know that we all have our flaws, but I also know that we are the hardest judges when it comes to self-perception. I know we all have a dark side and side of light, a good side and a bad side, a primitive being and a reasoning one, or whichever classification you like best. Every single one of us. 
I know that there are times when the bad side can reign the good one, but there are also times when the good will reign the bad. It's all 50/50 when it comes to people, because we are not permanent. We flow with life. One day things are one way and another day they change, sometimes even in a matter of seconds. The thing is, we complicate things way too much. People, we have this problem or obsession about classifying everything and everyone without realizing that we will all do it in a different way. And we are so frustrated by trying to understand and by overthinking that we forget to just enjoy what we have there and in that moment. To feel comfortable with someone, to feel like you can do anything, to put your every bit of hope into thinking that whatever it is, it's the right thing in that precise moment, even if afterwards it isn't because like I said: things change.
    All I know is right now I feel this way. And even after trying, that feeling isn't going away. And I realize it is probably because right now it's not supposed to go away. And I just think that instead of taking the risk, we are wasting time. We are wasting time we could be enjoying over fear of hurting. Of hurting ourselves, of hurting other people. We fear to hurt badly over the idea of loss if things don't work. And in the process we are half enjoying, half hurting for longer time, instead of trying and fully enjoying for maybe a shorter or longer period of time. Or fully hurting for a shorter period, but doing either one fully. And yes, things will not always be peachy, but what ever is? And what part of it is peachy now? Half doing things is eventually going to crack us because we are in a limbo. And if we keep fearing to go down a great path, a path of fully feeling everything, a path of knowing we are fully risking it, we will just be suffering for a longer period of time by not deciding, not enjoying, not hurting, by just being there. Expecting. Waiting for a sign, waiting for a miracle or something that we can justify ourselves with so we don't take responsibility. We just hesitate playing with destiny, leaving our fate to it, blaming things on it. Yet we know that if we don't have the guts, blaming destiny will not ease the thought of never knowing what could've happened. 
    So I'd rather take it. I'd rather have that, the fully feeling, the fully enjoying, the fully knowing it's a risk experience, the maybe even fully unstable path where you sometimes don't know what to do or where to go, but you at least know you're going down that path and that you decided. I rather have all that than to be stuck there, half doing things and eventually breaking down into fully hurting. I'd rather take the risk of knowing that in the moment it was the right path, the one that made me feel amazing, even if later on it becomes a memory or a lesson.

"I normally never do this, but...."

      "I normally never do this, but..." I decided I wanted to give this entry a title because first of all; I must warn you I will use it a lot in the entry. Second of all: It's a phrase people commonly use. From the simplest things like: "I normally never do this, but I decided to try a different road today.", to more dangerous things like: "I normally never do this... but sure I'll have another tequila shot.". It can lead to great things, it can even be part of a wedding speech: "I normally never do this, but that day I decided to go to that baseball game. And there she was.". Or it can be part of an embarrassing story; "I normally never do this, but a kiss on the first date can't be thaaaat bad. Right?" Anyways, you get the point. 
        So today, I will say that I normally never do this, but today I feel like complaining. And the thing is I hate it when people complain about everything. But today is just one of those days. I tried to focus in all that is good, but I couldn't. The sky was even beautiful, the weather, everything. But I wasn't feeling it. Ever felt like you don't know who to call when you feel angry, or sad, or upset about different things, and you just need someone to not even talk to, just be with? Well, that's what today felt like. Like exactly the day that nobody could be there for me was the day I needed people the most. Talk about perfect timing. I just sometimes wish I had a special person I could count on for these kind of days. Someone who wouldn't hesitate on trying to make me feel better, o who knew me well enough to make me feel better even without words. I feel kind of lonely. And I normally never do this, but if no one is going to be there for you, at least writing will. Right?

New.

And I sit here once more. I never thought I'd write here again. I never thought I could use this again. But seeing Facebook and twitter are overloaded with nosey people getting into each other's business, I decided nobody would probably read this. I feel desperately sad, I don't know exactly where to turn anymore. I'm tired, tired of trying to fix us. I'm tired of being treated like this. I never though we'd end up this way. And just a day before 2 years of celebration. I'd never thought we could speak like this to each other, I really care. And that's the problem, I'm tired of caring, tired of getting hurt by things that come and go. Friendships, family, tired of trusting. Tired of people. The person I thought I could trust, again I was wrong. And I blame only me, for trying so hard to justify everything that you did to hurt me. Trying to justify even this. I don't know what to do anymore. Everything I thought important you threw it away, you make me feel like it's not important anymore. But you know what? It IS. It IS important, and maybe someone will someday appreciate it. Maybe someone else, maybe a new you. But right now, I can't wait for a new you, because a new you can only come if I leave. As long as I'm here, as long as you feel you'll always have me there to treat this way you'll never notice. As long as I keep this up, that someone else, or this "new you" I'm hoping for, will never EVER come.

Me and myself don't always agree.

So, how does that work eh?
What work?
What you are doing? This whole therapy thing...
It's not therapy, it's true...
Sure it is...
Hey! Aren't you like part of my mind? You' re suppossed to be trying to help me here!
Maybe I just think this whole thing is retarded, don't you?
Well, kind of but...
Then? Who are YOU kidding huh? Not me at least, I don't think you are even fooling yourself with this stupid idea
I guess not, but then again, I guess it'll help me to see it like this in a future
You know, I thought you weren't taking cards on the matter anymore?
Well, I'm not!
Then what's with the stupid dreams? And the best friend crappiness?
It's not crappiness! Besides, what I'm I suppossed to do if he keeps being all nice to me and stuff? Why doesn't he just hate me or something? Or just goes and spends quality time with his beloved or something? Is this how friendship works?
You know, it is your fault...
I guess, 'cause I do wanna be his friend, and I guess I'm not sure I want him far away...
That's the problem honey
Well, if you're so strong why haven't you forgotten him huh? If it's so easy for you?
I'm part of you remember? I have to deal with this as much as you do
I don't feel the same way about him anymore though...
But it still makes you happy to see him, I can feel it, it's nauseating...
Well, sorry you have to deal with this...
Yeah me too
Couldn't you try to help me a little?
Couldn't you?
Remind me how even after this I manage to love you and believe that you are right.
'Cause you know I am honey

What If?

What do you do when you feel part of you left with a person who will never be part of you again? What do you do if that part of you was awesome? What do you do if that person came back to you saying "I'm sorry" and you know you can't say yes, because dignity is telling you, na uh sister! And you have been hurt so badly, that you really feel this person has no way of getting back to how it used to be? But what if you feel it is the only person who has made you feel this way, and that you'll never find anyone like him? Or that you'll be haunted by him, and what if you see this person almost daily? What if you feel extremely hurt, because every little thing you see reminds you of that person? A car, a place, a voice, another person, something you love, an instrument, a bus, a seat, a school, two schools, a sport (or many) some tenni shoes, some shoes in general, a movie theater, a cafe, your school, the bus you take home, even your own family. That has to be crazy. And what if even seeing that car makes your heart beat really fast, and then slow down radically because you remeber it's not like that anymore, so radically, you feel that it will come to a sudden stop. What if I'm just not trying hard enough? What if I'm not turning the page, moving forward, getting over it, leaving the past, or whichever way you want to see it? What if I'm afraid of the future? What if I don't feel the same way about that person, but you also don't feel healthier? What if... what the heck am I doing? Where is the positivism from the before entries huh? Where am I? I mean, where is the person I used to be? Giver her back ¬¬.
What if all these question's answers are right there in my head, but I can't seem to find the react button?
What if I tried?
Well, try harder.
