oohh

"Todo aquello no tenía sentido, pensaba, pero en el fondo sabía que tenía sentido y ese sentido era el que me desgarraba, para utilizar una expresión un tanto exagerada que yo, sin embargo, no consideraba exagerada. Tal vez confundía entonces sentido con necesidad. Tal vez sólo estaba nervioso."

modern times

"I had this guy leave me a voicemail at work, so I called him at home, and then he emailed me to my BlackBerry, and so I texted to his cell, and now you just have to go around checking all these different portals just to get rejected by seven di...fferent technologies. It's exhausting."

little things

I mean, I always feel like a freak because I'm never able to move on like... ...this! You know.

People just have an affaire, or even... entire relationships... They break up and they forget! They move on like they would have changed a brand of cereals!

I feel I was never able to forget anyone I've been with. Because each person have...you know, specific qua lities. You can never replace anyone. What is lost is lost.

Each relationship, when it ends, really damages me. I haven't fully recovered. That's why I'm very careful with getting involved, because... It hurts too much! Even getting laid! I actually don't do that... I will miss of the person the most mundane things.

Like I'm obsessed with little things. Maybe I'm crazy, but...

When I was a little girl, my mom told me that I was always late to school.

One day she followed me to see why. I was looking at chestnuts falling from the trees, rolling on the sidewalk, or... ants, crossing the road... the way a leaf casts a shadow on a tree trunk... Little things.

I think it's the same with people. I see in them little details, so specific to each other, that move me, and that I miss, and... will always miss.

You can never replace anyone, because everyone is made of such beautiful specific details.

Like I remember the way... your beard has a little bit of red in it. And how the sun was making it glow that... that morning, right before you left. I remember that, and... I missed it.
