We’re always comparing and judging even when we think we aren’t. There isn’t a moment we aren’t comparing people, experiences or situations. There are no judgment-free zones or thoughts even when we think there are. We’re often seeing the grass greener across the street. We compare people with other people when nobody is or will ever be the same, we compare experiences with other experiences when they’re very different from each … Continue reading Compared to what?

Who cares anyway
What do you care what people think? That’s a Richard Feynman’s book. But also today’s reality. You focus way too often and too much on what others think about you, what you’re doing, whether you and your friends are following each other on social media, and what not. The truth is that none of these … Continue reading Who cares anyway
Nadie lo hará
Nadie te querrá como él. Mentira. El que te quiere te querrá así o mejor. A lo mejor no te llenará de sonrisas tan seguidamente, pero te hará sonreir. A lo mejor no te besara tan apasionadamente, pero te besara. A lo mejor no te querrá tan intensamente, pero te querrá. Al final, tú tienes la última … Continue reading Nadie lo hará
My side of the story
So why did that happen? You ask your friend or family about a past event or issue. By which he or she responds, “let me tell you why”… little did you realize that this is only one side of the story and should be, “let me tell you my side of the story” instead. There … Continue reading My side of the story
Short and sweet life
I’ve always thought of my life as a short one. And I’ve lived it as such — doing all the things I feared, all the things people said it’d be crazy or impossible to do, and in short, doing everything I’ve always wanted. I think of my life every day as something that could end up at … Continue reading Short and sweet life
The unknown is you
What makes you who you are today are all the unknown experiences — be it tragic or wonderful. Wait, what are you talking about? Remember all the tough times you went through — when you failed at things that looked simple but weren’t, were bullied by people you considered friends, broke your bones in an accident yet came out … Continue reading The unknown is you
The beauty of books
Writing and reading have slowly become my favorite sources of shouting out information, thoughts, and opinions and absorbing knowledge and experiences. A book is a wonderful resource for any time — I usually carry my Kindle to almost everywhere I go because it’s just convenient. It just makes reading fun and simple without the added-weight of books. … Continue reading The beauty of books
Aire de felicidad
Una mirada.Una sonrisa.Un abrazo y un beso. No hay necesidad de hablar porque todo se entiende entre esa corta distancia y ese aire de felicidad entre nosotros. Te quiero, pero no me favorece.Te quiero, pero no me perteneces.Te quiero, pero a la distancia. Eres como la medicina — buena para el momento, mala para la vida. Te … Continue reading Aire de felicidad
I do, you do…
If I do something for you, would you do something for me? Isn’t that how relationships work? Hasn’t it always been like this — selfishly with an obscure and hidden intention behind every action, word, or favor? That’s how it looks and feels like sometimes. People expect something in exchange. They might even remind you of a … Continue reading I do, you do…
