Si una chica es tan estúpida como para amarte después de que le rompas el corazón, te garantizo, ella es la elegida. No la dejes escapar

If a girl is stupid enough to love you after you break her heart, I guarantee you, she is the choice. You can’t leave her.

“Every city has a sex and an age which have nothing to do with demography. Rome is feminine. So is Odessa. London is a teenager, an urchin, and this hasn’t changed since the time of dickens. Paris, I believe, is a man in his twenties in love with an older woman.” —

John Berger (via wannabegradstudent)

Cada ciudad tiene un edad y un sexo que nada de ver con demografía. Roma es feminina. Tambien es Odessa. Londres es un adolescente, un niño, y eso no ha cambiado hasta el tiempo de Dickens. París, yo creo, es un hombre en sus años veintes que está enamorado.

“

Aprendí que quien no te busca no te extraña y quien no te extraña, no te quiere. Que la vida decide quién entra en tu vida, pero tú decides quien se queda. Que la verdad duele una sola vez y la mentira duele para siempre. Por eso valora a quien te valora, y no trates como prioridad a quien te trata como una opción.
Hay un punto en tu vida en el que te das cuenta quién te importa, quién nunca importo, quién no importa más, y quién siempre importará. Después de algún tiempo aprenderás que compañía no siempre significa seguridad. Aprenderás que los besos no son contratos, ni regalos, y menos promesas.
Aprenderás que el sol quema si te expones demasiado. Aceptarás incluso que las personas buenas podrían herirte alguna vez y necesitarás perdonarlas… Aprenderás que hablar puede aliviar los dolores.

Aprenderás que lleva años construir la confianza y apenas unos segundos destruirla y que tu también podrás hacer cosas de las que te arrepentirás para siempre.
Aprenderás que no tenemos que cambiar de amigos, si estamos dispuestos a aceptar que los amigos cambian. Aprenderás que las amistades continúan creciendo a pesar de las distancias, y que los buenos amigos son la familia que tú elijes.
Descubrirás que muchas veces tomas a la ligera a las personas que más te importan y por eso siempre debemos decirle a esa persona que la queremos, porque nunca estaremos seguros de cuándo será la última vez que la veamos.

Aprenderás que las circunstancias y el ambiente que nos rodea tiene influencia sobre nosotros, pero que nosotros somos los únicos responsables de lo que hacemos.
Descubrirás que lleva mucho tiempo llegar a ser la persona que quieres ser, y que el tiempo es corto. Aprenderás que no importa donde llegaste, sino a donde te diriges y si no lo sabes, cualquier lugar sirve… Aprenderás que si no controlas tus actos, ellos te controlan a ti…

Aprenderás que el tiempo no es algo que puedes volver hacia atrás, por lo tanto debes cultivar tu propio jardín y decorar tu alma, en vez de esperar que alguien te traiga flores.
Aprenderás que con la misma severidad con que juzgas, también serás juzgado y en algunos momentos condenado… y que las personas que hoy te dan las espalda, mañana la vida los obligara a mirarte a los ojos.

”
—Dolores Gortari

I learned that those who do not look for you do not miss you and those who do not miss you do not want you. The truth hurts only once and a lie hurts forever. For that, value those who appreciate you and do not give priority to those who treat you like an option.

There is a point in your life in that you notice whose care for you, those who were were never important, those who are no longer important, and those who will always be important. After some time, you will learn that company does not always mean security. You learn that kisses are not contracts, nor gifts, and less so promises.
You will learn that the sun burns if you are too exposed. You will accept that even good people will hurt you sometimes and you need to forgive them… You will learn to speak when you can alleviate pain.

You will learn that it takes years to build the trust and only seconds to destroy it and that you will also do things that you are sorry for.
You will learn that we do not have to change friends, if we are ready to accept that friends change. You will learn that friendships continue to grow despite distances and that good friends are the family that you choose.
*You will discover that many times you take the light to people that are most important to you and for this we must always say to that person that you care about them, because we will never be sure when will be the last time that we will see.*

You will learn that the circumstances and the environment that surrounds us have influence over us, but that we are the only ones responsible for what we do.
You will discover that it takes much time to become the person that you want to be, and that time is short. You will learn that that it is not important where you came from, but instead to where you are heading and that if you don’t don’t know, anywhere will do… You will learn that if you do not control your actions, they will control you…

You will learn that time is not a thing that you can return to again*, so you must cultivate your own garden and decorate your soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. You will learn that with the same severity with which you judge, you will also be judged and at moments condemned… and that today the people *turn their backs to you, tomorrow they are obligated to look you in the eyes.

Translation notes: “You will discover that many times you take the light to people that are most important to you and for this we must always say to that person that you care them, because we will never be sure when will be the last time that we will see.” - It would make more sense to say “You will discover that many times you give attention to those that are most important to you and for that reason you must always tell that person that you care about them, because we never know when our last moments are”, but this seemed like a lot of leniency with the words, so I left it with a more literal translation.
“You will learn that time is not a thing that you can return to again.” - They say “hacía atras”, which means “backwards”, but this made no sense so I changed it.

“Sus certezas desayunaron dudas. En esos días ningún lugar era su lugar y no conseguía reconocerse en nada ni en nadie; las palabras no se parecían a lo que nombraban. Asique dejó el cuerpo y con la mente se fue lejos, a ninguna parte.” —

Eduardo Galeano, “El libro de los abrazos” (via redhairsongs)

His certainty ate doubts for breakfast. In those days, no place was his place and he could not recognize nothing or anything; the words did not seem to name. And so (? With that?) I left the body and with the mind that was far, none parted.

Oh man. I translated this SO BADLY.

“Si piensas que eres demasiado pequeño para causar impacto, intenta dormir con un mosquito en la habitación.” —

Anita Roddick (via perroflautasunidos)

If you think that you are too small to make an impact, sleep with a mosquito in the room.

“My mother said I must always be intolerant of ignorance but understanding of illiteracy. That some people, unable to go to school, were more educated and more intelligent than college professors.” —

Maya Angelou (via wisdomist)

Mi madre digo que siempre yo debía estar intolerante con ignorancia, pero debía tener comprensión de analfabetismo. Que unas de personas, no pueden ir a escuela, eran mas cultas y mas intelligente de profesoras de universidad.
